About Me

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-by Marianne Williamson from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles
I try to keep the quote above in mind as I do this day to day thing we call life. It's not always easy for me, but I'm learning to take it one day at a time and give it my best effort. Anyway, about me...I was born and raised in Indiana. I'm the oldest of 4 children and I love my family very much - I'm so proud of them, in fact, check out my brother's music on myspace at b.a.sick ...It's hot!
I work for a consulting company in Chicago and I absolutely LOVE the work I do. No complaints right now. I'm a firm believer in Karma, so if you put positive energy out there, it's bound to come back to you. Life is good, count your blessings, be grateful and humbly accept what God has given you!

God if it's possible. As far as mortals, I'd like to meet Common, Boris Kodjoe, NAS, Mos Def and T.I...but, since that has yet to happen, I'm just looking to catch up with old friends and meet a few new ones. Thanks for checking my page and be sure to sign my guestbook. Smooches!
