DARE TO BE DIFFERENT...

About Me

Layout made by ShadowleopardMy name is Donna. Though I like to go by Stormy Raiyne. It matches my personality more. I was born a fiery redhead Scottish/Irish descent, with a smidgen of Apache Indian and Spanish thrown in for good measures. Which is probably the reason for my fiery temper! But whereas I am quick to temper...I am also quick to get over it. Just like a summer storm.
I am looking to find friends on here who have the same likes and dislikes as I. Or even if they are different....That's alright too. Variety has never been boring. I just want open- minded people who have big hearts and are willing to try and be a friend. If you are just collecting friends on myspace..then please just pass me by. Because I try and send comments to everyone on my list atleast 3 times a week. A person can't do that if there list is so large that you get lost in it.I am a open-minded female who loves too hard, sees the good in everyone;even when others don't!. I hold true to old-fashion values, and prefers what life has to offer rather than material things.To me a picture is worth a thousand words, so therefore don't judge a book by it's cover. Because unless you have walked in someone else's shoes, you can't jump to conclusions as to why they are like they are now!This is the part where I tell you a little bit about me. Well....Firstly...I am a proud mother of 8. Three of them are mine,....2 sons and a daughter(21, 19, and 14) And five are from the man I absolutely adore. He has 3 sons and 2 daughters as well( 18, 16, 13, 12, and 11). They are all wonderful kids and I can't imagine my life without them in it. Even though I didn't give birth to all 8 of em...I feel like they are all mine. ( Though at times our home seems like a tornado just hit it~~~ life is never boring) And I wouldn't have it any other way!!I am in love with the most awesome, sexy, honest, trust worthy, sincere, kind, gentle and sexy man ever. And I met him online. After my husband died in 2000...I never imagined that I'd find another soul that I could connect with so easily. I had all but given up( having been on the dating scene for almost 5 years and not meeting anyone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with)Then one day, I met him and for me it was love at first sight....He loves me unconditionally and listens( really listens) when I have something to say( even when I am just blabbering) He loves me for who I am...and is behind me 100%.And lets me be ME. I don't have be something I'm not when I am around him.I guess you can say I am a hopeless romantic. I still believe in happily-ever-afters.Even though life has thrown me some curves...I still believe you can find your one and only soul mate if you will only open your heart and eyes. I know I have found mine! So if I have learned anything from my past...It's that you can't ever give up. I was just about to give up meeting someone special...when I met the man of my dreams. So don't ever give up on your dreams....even when life seems to have given up on you.I believe in faeries, pixie's, dragons, elves, angel's, witches, and other mystical creatures. I believe ,because my heart believes.I feel that magick is all around us. You just have to open yourself up to see it. I believe we can make our own miracles happen....and dreams are something we should never, ever give up on.I would rather be hated for who I am,then loved for who I am not!!.....I suppose to know me is to know that I am stubborn to no end. Once I get an idea in my mind, it's very hard to change my mind. That's not to say that I am not open-minded. I am!!!...I am always open to new ideas....but in order to change my mind--you better be very convincing....:-)I am courageous, ambitious, spirited, kind, temperamental, mischieveous, hard-headed, truthful, hopeless romantic, and loyal---you won't find a better friend, and confidant than I.

My Interests

I remember a story my grandmother used to tell me...before she passed away. I was only three at the time....but we had gone to visit her because( unknown to me)...she was very ill and didn't have long to live. My grandmother would tell me that I had a very old soul. And I'd smile up at her with my young, innocent face and say..."I'm not old Nana....I am only three"...she smiled, that sweet smile I can still see now. And say. Sweetheart one day you will understand. But for now you just have to trust your Nana.So I'd listen as she told this story of a young gypsy gal who fell in love with this man. And they had such a love...like no other. But tragedy struck this young man...and he died. And this young gypsy girl wondered this earth looking for her love that was taken so suddenly from her. She lived many lifetimes...but still never found that one, very special love she had shared with him.Then she'd pat me on the head and send me off to bed to dream of faraway places....of faeries,leprechauns,unicorns, and other mystickal creatures.....who,to this day,I still believe in. Nana...taught me that when you stop dreaming and believing....so does your life.....because without them...what else is their to believe in...

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet people who share my love for life. People who don't judge others by the color of their skin; their race, religion, sexual preference,type of job they have...or what kind of dreams they have. I take everyone at face value....and trust whole heartedly...until I have been betrayed.Once is forgiven, twice is not.It will take me a while before I trust you again if I have been hurt or lied too.I am a Wiccan who just so happens to be a Witch as well. Though there are Witches I know who don't practice the Wiccan religion. Or They are Wiccan and just aren't Witches. I just happen to be both. It is who I am. But I wasn't always a Witch or Wiccanlayouts, myspace codes, glitter graphics' border=0I was raised Catholic by parents who strongly believed in the Christian morality. It was okay...But I had always had too many questions that no one ( not my parents or my Priest in our church) could answer enough to suffice me. So I was always left with this" emptiness" that could never be filled. At least not until a friend of mine introduced me to Wicca. And then my whole world openeded up to me and I realized this was what I was all along.I am a loyal friend to the end, even through thick and thin. I listen to every word you speak, and give advice when needed. A kind word is there when you are down, and a smile to lift your spirits. I'm adventurous, courageous, spontaneous and daring. I have a wicked sence of humor, yet I am a lady through and through. You won't find no better friend than I./..

Music:

"Listen to the words of the Great Mother, for mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and mine is joy on earth: for my law is love unto all beings."(((((In this pot, I stir the sun, An' follow the rule of harming none... Banishment of bane when going widdershins, An' with water and salt negativity is cleaned... Household duties are more than chores, Magick abounds when mopping floors... With this broom, I do sweep, To clean my house and safely keep... Marigold, Basil, Thyme and Yarrow, My spell is cast for a better tomorrow... Lemons for joy and apples for health, The pow'r within brings great wealth... And in the kitchen I do pray, To truly walk the Witches' Way....)))))I Love all kinds of music....ranging from country to 80's rock. And Celtic and Gaelic, to easy listening and even a little rap. I love such artist as: Toby Keith, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood...and Enya, Def leppard, Bon Jovi, and Motley Crue...I also love Journey and Maroon 5. I love listening to music when I am sad and upset. Because it always calms me down and makes me feel better. I love Instrumental music as well...and when I was living in Palm Springs California...I heard the most amazing sound ever coming from a Man by the name of Marston Smith...and he has got to be the best Cello Player ever. His music captivated me and inspiried me in ways no other music ever had. And I find myself listening to his music every chance I get.

And I can always get great ideas for dinner. And with a BIG family...I need all the help I can get.I also like watching Court Tv....when I was younger I thought I wanted to be a detective( would come in handy with my writing.....but my life took another avenue. But I still enjoy watching that channel.
