About Me


I am an American Bible-believing Christian woman, born and living in the Chicago, IL area, USA. I speak English, Spanish, poor French and have learned some Arabic, as I was married to a Palestinian man from Jordan from 2000 to 2005 and also have many friends from the Middle East ... I have three grown children, three grandsons and one granddaughter, as well as one godson who are all a very important part of my life. Since my husband who did not like dogs divorced me I now have a little black Scottish Terrier dog named Pippen to keep me company, along with my lineolated parakeet (more like a parrot) named Iri for his iridescent turquoise feathers.

You can find me....

My Interests

Open My Widget Sidebar
I collect frogs (not live..lol). I try to stand up for what is right and fight against what is wrong. I'm told I am an incurable romantic. The things that bring me joy are sun and flowers, the ocean, sunsets, the love of family and pets and knowing that God loves me and that by His grace I am forgiven and have the promise of Heaven.

I'd like to meet:

people from all over the world. I love to learn about different cultures and ways of life. I have been making friends on the internet for some time and have been pleased to have the opportunity to travel to meet some of them.

Music:



I have a godson named Fabi.

He turned 13 years old February 2008 (wow..already a teenager? *sigh* how time flies!). He's been a part of my life since he was a baby. When he was 2 years old his mom gave him to me, but then took him back a few months later. Until 2006 he spent most of his time at my home almost every day he was not in school, including almost every weekend. Sadly his mom decided he and I will not be able to be together anymore. And I miss him SO much.
This music video is dedicated to a wonderful kid,
Fabian Aviles.

LET MY LOVE GIVE YOU ROOTS
AND HELP YOU FIND YOUR WINGS
