I am an island girl, born in Brooklyn and raised in St. Thomas USVI so I have culture yall. My favorite thing to do at home was to lay on the porch and with my face to the sky I would think about life. I also liked taking walks down to the near by Fortuna Bay with my dog to watch the waves come in or pick up some of the sea life that washed to shore. There is nothing like the sound of waves crashing to the beach that brings so much solice and peace.

When I wasn't looking for peace, I was looking for the party. My favorite was the fish fry on the beach with a live local band. I could stay out all night just groovin to the music. Nothing much has changed about that...I still like solitude days at the ocean and partying never goes out of style.

I like living life sober...the ups the downs all of it. I will leave this place knowing that I allowed myself to feel every emotion. I agree that parts of this life make you want to numb the pain, but so far, pain has always been a temporary state. It comes and goes, but so does the joy and the laughter. It's all a part of the scheme of things.

I am pretty much a loner and sometimes extremely shy. Most people don't see that part of me because I can hide it pretty well. I can be a bit agressive if I am backed into a corner, but most of the time I try to live a peaceable life. I am not passive by any means and in my book, "where there is a will, there is a way." I am a die hard believer in that and it is the thing deep down that drives me always to succeed at whatever I am trying to do.

I have a very sweet and attentive husband and three awesome daughters. One who has given me thus far two very beautiful and talented granddaughters. I live and breathe for these, all of them, my family, have given me the courage and inspiration to move on and get up when I am feeling down. No matter what happens in our family we are our greatest fans and our best cheerleaders. I have learned one thing in life, and that is without true love, there is nothing. All the rest fades away, but at the end of the day a heart filled with love will flourish.
