About Me

ABOUT ME:I AM A SINGER/SONGWRITER LUCKY ME ! I LIVE IN THE NASHVILLE AREA. LOVE MY JOB, LOVE MY FRIENDS, I LOVE THE AUDIANCE, I LOVE MUSIC AND I LOVE SONGS.... "I LOVE GOD AND MY FAMILY MORE THAN ALL OF THAT. " MY HUSBAND SAYS I'M---FRIENDLY TO A FAULT. LOYALTY AND HONESTY ARE VERY IMPORTAINT TO ME. I AM AN OPEN BOOK- EVERYONE KNOWS ME AS SOON AS THEY MEET ME - MY MOM SAID I AM JUST LIKE MY DAD "I HAVE NEVER MET A STRANGER"-,,, BUT LIKE MY MOM, CREATIVE IN MANY AREAS ARTS, CRAFTS, MUSIC, POETRY, I PAINT...REALLY!!! SHE IS THE ONE WHO TAUGHT ME TO GIVE AND FORGIVE CREATE and FOCUUS MY ENERGY. ANYTHING CREATIVE I WANT TO DO, I CAN, I AM INQUISITIVE, A REBEL, A TREND SETTER, A FREEK, THE LIFE OF THE PARTY, I EMBRACE LIFE THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND, MY FRIENDS have said I REMIND THEM OF GRACE SLICK, JANICE JOPLIN OR CARLEY SIMON (WOW ALL DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE WOMEN STRONG SASSY AND TALLENTED (WHAT AN HONOR TO BE RECOGNIZED AS HAVING TRAITS LIKE THESE FANTASTIC WOMEN).AND I HAVE SOME PRETTY AWESOME FRIENDS. THE TOP TEN ARE JUST SOME OF THEM. SOME ONE ONCE ASKED ME IF I KNEW FOR SURE THAT I WOULDNT MAKE ONE PENNY ON SONGWRITING WOULD I STILL BE A WRITER... THE ANSWER : EMPHATICALLY YES... THE PROCESS IS THE REWARD. I BREATH THEREFORE I PAINT, SING, WRITE SONGS. IT IS AS MUCH A PART OF ME AS MY BLOOD , WHEN I STOP I WILL MOST ASSUREDLY BE DEAD.I AM A MOM 3 TIMES AND YES THE RUMERS ARE TRUE - I AM A GRANDMA-(6 LITTLE BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE) GRAND CHILDREN BY THE WAY ARE THE BEST PART OF LIFE SO FAR THEY TOP EVERYTHING ELSE. ..... THEY MAKE ME LAUGH AND CRY SOMTIMES AT THE SAME TIME. I COULDNT LOVE ANY ONE OF THEM MORE, THEY GIVE ME PERFECT JOY AND THE REFLECTION OF ME IN THEIR EYES WHEN THEY SIT AT THE PIANO OR DRAW A PICTURE OR DANCE OR SING IN A PERFECTLY QUIET ROOM. I KNOW A PART OF ME IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF EACH OF THEM WEATHER ITS INHERITED OR ITS PASSED DOWN FROM WATCHING ME FOR HOURS AT A TIME. I AM BLESSED MANY TIMES. THANK YOU GOD!-I AM HAPPY MOST OF THE TIME MY ADITUDE IS ... LIFE ISNT ALL PEACHES AND CREAM FOR ANYONE!!! THE RICHEST PERSON IN THE WORLD HAS PROBLEMS JUST AS THE POOREST. ITS HOW YOU APPROACH IT THAT DETERMINS IF YOU ARE ON TOP OF THE MESS OR UNDER IT... YOU DONT WANT TO BE UNDER IT!!! IT IS DARK AND STINKY DOWN THERE "UNDER YOUR OWN GARBAGE"...I HAVE A FEW GOOD FRIENDS PERHAPS 5 PEOPLE I TRUST TOTALLY. 20 OR SO I TALK TO ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS AND HUNDREDS I KNOW WELL ENOUGH TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH. IF I DONT REMEMBER YOU IM SORRY. MANY MORE PEOPLE RECOGNIZE ME THAN I RECALL UNFORTUNEATELY. I WISH I HAD A BETTER MEMORY. I AM ALWAYS AFRAID I WILL INSULT SOMEONE FOR NOT REMEMBERING THEIR NAME. IF YOU SEE ME AND I DONT RECOGNIZE YOU JUST KEEP TALKING I WILL REMEMBER EVENTUALLY OR WE CAN BEGIN A WHOLE NEW FRIENDSHIP. PEOPLE ARE IMPORTAINT TO ME SO PLEASE DON'T THINK IM BEING SNOBBY IM JUST BEING AN AIR HEAD.... HAPPINESS COMES FROM WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR OTHERS THE GIVERS ARE THE HAPPY ONES THE TAKERS WILL NEVER BE SATISFYED. IM GLAD TO MEET YOU REALLY IF YOU GOT THIS FAR YOU HAVE MET ME. HAVE A COMPLETELY WONDERFUL DAY! SMILE ITS CONTAGEOUS...--WRITE ON!!!DEB--I BELIEVE THIS YEAR! IS GOING TO BE THE ABSOLUTE BEST EVER!
