~ HELLO ~ ...
♥ My name is Rebecca. I grew up in National City, CA until my marriage to Art in 1982. While our 3 children were growing up we lived in: East San Diego, North Park, University Heights, and National City. Moved to Laguna Niguel (OC), CA in 2000 and to Goodyear, AZ in 2002. We left CA due to Art's employer. I miss San Diego, miss my friends and family even more. I go there every chance I get ~ makes my heart happy!
♥ My children are grown: Aaron 26, Matthew 24, and Briana 20. Intelligent, beautiful, and most of all good people, they're the loves and lights of my life ~ my inspiration. I'm very proud of them.
♥ My goal is to eventually be in a position where I can directly help children and families. Upon retirement my desire is to travel, good health and God willing.
♥ A wish: Here's to striving toward peace, love, devotion, wisdom, honesty, integrity, and loyalty to what's positive and righteous. No one is perfect and like many others I've got work to do. So let's help one another and get to it. Not "later-later" but "right-now right-now." Salud!
~ ^i^ DEDICATIONS ^i^ ~
♥ For my brother-in-law Danny, my uncle David, my other mom Barbara, my friend Tracy, my friend Becky, my cousin and friend Vonnie, all who've lived with cancer, and those who love them ...

My Interests

♥ Family, friends, music, learning, teaching, community, get-togethers, festivals, vacations, celebrations, nature's beauty...

I'd like to meet:

♥ When the time is right ~ My Heavenly Creator, Jesus Christ, and my Guardian Angels. I have a lot of questions, apologies, and thank-you's. Also my paternal and maternal ancestors.
♥ I enjoy meeting good-hearted 'everyday people' and I appreciate a sarcastic sense of humor, though it should be backed with a loving heart.
♥ If you're selfish, mean-spirited, or lack compassion and a desire for harmony - I don't want to know you. And if I find you to be a liar, a fake, a phony - you're out of my life. I'm picky about who I let in and who stays.
♥ So Be Warned: I'm nice, but I'll eventually tell it like it is, in my own way. I stand up for myself and others ~ speak my mind and my heart ~ all said with good intentions.

~ BE GOOD ~

~ ALWAYS ~

~ IN ALL WAYS ~

Heroes:

♥ Heavenly Creator and Jesus Christ for creating and sustaining life and giving unconditional love; my husband for being my rock and loving me through it all; my children for teaching me to be a good mother, inspiring me to be a better person, cheering me on, living with my faults, and for loving me no matter what; my Nana ~ 12/25/19 to 11/10/97 ~ RIP, I love her deeply ~ she was and still is my tower of strength ~ she endured so much in her life; my brother for being an example of courage under harsh circumstances; my mother for trying her best despite her problems; and my brother-in-law Danny ~ 4/19/60 to 5/4/05 ~ he was so brave ~ may he rest in peace. ♥

If you're reading this, you know who you are... I'm letting go... yet just because I'm letting go does not mean that I've forgotten. What this means is that I've chosen to move on, move forward.....
