About Me

I'm a Southern girl, having lived in the South all my life. I am down to earth, easy going and simple, nothing in excess. Some will say I'm honest to a fault and that can get me into trouble sometimes, but that's part of who I am. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not, in order to impress or be accepted by someone. What you see is what you get with me. I love to laugh. Humor keeps me going and helps me cope with the ups and downs of everyday life. I'm a crazy cat lady. Having never had children, my cats become my kids. I'm Mom to a 2 year-old Katrina-refugee kitty, Sheeby. She has become a part of me and has brought so much joy at a time when I really needed her. I can't imagine my life without my little loyal, loving companion. Pets accept us for who we are and love unconditionally.
I am a Stroke Survivor. In March 2006, I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. The road back has been long but I feel I finally made it. No matter what life throws at you, never give up. Having overcome adversity, I know how precious life is and how quickly everything can be taken away. I've been given another chance and I fully intend to live each day to it's fullest. I have learned that the simplest things in life may very well be the best things in life.
