About Me


Contact Box Generated from Profile Mods“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.”Romance: by unknown ~ I know we made it up like God...but God it hurts. Like phantom pain in a leg that's been taken, what's gone throbs...aches. Nothing there, and still the pain makes a shape.~I'm the full time single working mommy of my lil Tye baby. I like words, I love to write, yet have had writers block for the last few years. Papers I wrote in school just don't count. My favorite words are: Inevitable, epiphany, infinity, and splat. The people who know me best know that I like to point out similarities and differences. I believe similarities and differences are important because although it's normally peoples similarities that draw them together, it's our differences that teach us how to learn and grow, and that in the end, help us become better people. For me, I think life is about being the best me I can be, doing the best I possibly can at any given moment. Although I'll be the first to admit some days I do much better than others. I do my fair share of tripping and falling; I always get back up again though, and thats what matters the most, at least to me. I choose who I let into my life and love very very very very carefully. The people I do love though, the few that take the time and care enough to break down the walls and barriers I am famous for putting up; these are my truest friends, the ones that get to truly see me for me, and they accept all of me, the good parts and the bad parts. These are the people I have, do, and will love for the rest of my life, and they get the best of who I am, the best of my heart, and they then stay there forever. I always give people the benefit of the doubt, until they give me a reason to believe otherwise. Just try not to cross me...because I may be rather unforgiving and tell you to kick rocks...I have a thing against people who are reckless and careless with other peoples hearts, and I've made it a habit and a point to rid myself of people like that as fast as I can, and I do too. In my mind, people are like onions, and in order to truly know a person, (if that's even possible) it's necessary to peel off all the layers in order to get to the core of who they are, and that's something that takes time. To that extent, I also think most people, things, and situations in life are comparable to a double edged sword. Their neither wholly good or wholly bad. Instead, they're a little bit of both, aren't we all though? What else...I'm an insomniac, a night owl, whatever, that's why I'm doing this at 3:24am in the morning, it's because I can't sleep. I've been that way as long as I can remember too. When I'm nervous, my palms sweat, and whether I'm pissed or elated, it's written all over my face. I find it hard to hide the way I feel...for better or worse. Not because I tend to say it out loud, but because my facial expressions have a way of betraying me. The hardest challenge I'm facing today is establishing myself as a mother, yet also as a separate person as well. I guess what I mean is that I spend all my time being a mommy, and sometimes I forget that I'm also a girl, woman, whatever, I forget that I'm Rosalind too. I'm a work in progess...just like everyone else out there. I believe in faith, the power of belief, and God, but am in no way a bible thumper. I believe in a higher power, an afterlife, and I don't believe in coincidence. Every little thing that happens...happens for a reason, it may sound cliche, for me it's true though, and that's good enough. Life's experiences has taught me: Life is short, expend your energy in the people and things that you love and that love you, energy is precious, so don't waste your breath talking just to hear the sound of your own voice. When you speak, make your words count, and lastly, life is as good or as bad as you want it to be, so make your life a masterpiece. :)"Sometimes it seems like we're all living in some kind of prison and the crime is how much we hate ourselves. It's good to get dressed up sometimes and admit the truth. That when you look closely, people are so strange and so complicated that their actually beautiful. Possibly even me." --Eleanor Roosevelt

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Ani D, my birth mother and sister, Nelson Mandela, Hillary Clinton, The Dhali Llama, Deepak Chopra, Bill Mahr, James Redfield, and in general people who aren't afraid to step outside their comfort zone and be themselves... It's like my mother used to tell me, "Rosalind, never judge those who try and fail, only judge those who fail to try."
