About Me

Drive By Truckers~Eighteen
CLICK HERE FOR AN EXELLENT POLITICAL VIEW THAT REFLECTS MY OWN

"and we tell the world it's good verses evil, that country and god are more important than people, we say it so much, it's almost believeable....there. we'll leave nobody behind..." ~Jerry Joseph, TIGHT~I sing often and usually off-key, but always with conviction. Being a mom is cool, and I think I'm geting the hang of it. Apparently, its just like having a dog..who slowly learns how to talk. yeah. I enjoy moderate-legnthed walks on the beach. I have the most amazing family and friends on the planet...and to quote Don Williams, I believe in love, music, magic, and *you* :-)Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain



Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive" ~Howard Thurman
