MySpace pages have a real strong show and tell element to them and that’s also true of mine. But my page is truly for an audience of one…me. I replicate my life’s journey on this page…the snippets of the whole experience I wish I’d had and the one I had (and continue to have). Seems idyllic on the surface and a lot of it was although a lot wasn't. The things I’m concerned with are universal things, longing for a loving relationship; love for my family; wanting a meaningful life; wanting peace in this world. I truly feel if there were no homeless or abused animals anywhere, no starving and abused children, no lonely old people…this would be a world we wouldn’t recognize. It would change everything. Never underestimate what one person can do. I do not always answer messages. The investment of my time, energy & focus during my time online is generally spent adding photos, music and the occasional blog in an attempt to take my scattered old memories and recent experiences and try to pull them together in a way that says something and allow the viewer to make up his or her own mind. On the occasions that I come to look at my own page, it’s with a light, happy heart but also a heavy one as I relive my past through my photos and the music I’ve chosen for the moment. "Trust, responsibility, taking the weight for your choices and feelings, and spending the rest of your life living up to them. And above all, not hurting the object of your love." ~William Parrish. "They say always, 'That is the past, that is over.' But that is not true. The past is always with you, in your whole life and we can learn from the past." ~Miep Gies. MySpace pages are very personal and I find it fascinating that we are allowed a glimpse into a stranger’s life. I love to laugh and love anyone who makes me laugh. Two of the funniest people I know happen to be my two daughters, Stacy and Amber. I’m very proud of both of them and also I enjoy being around them as people. I have a new granddaughter, Natalie who was born 5 weeks early on August 27, 2007. She is making up for lost time and is growing so fast! She's my first grandchild. I’m a certified Bodypump Instructor and I was born and raised in Front Royal, Virginia, in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.

Amber's Wedding Day
January 27, 2007
My first grandchild, Natalie, was born August 27, 2007. My daughter Amber had an emergency C-section on that day & delivered her baby between 5 & 6 weeks early. Natalie remained in the hospital for 10 days with her mom & dad with her every moment. After a rough start but in the very capable hands of the wonderful staff at Northside Cherokee Hospital, she is now home happy & healthy. Amber was a trouper & she looked beautiful & strong from the moment she came out of delivery.
