Hi! My name is Kylee, and I am excited that you have taken the time to drop by my space! Please feel free to pull up a chair, get comfy, and enjoy the images, quotes, and music that I have collected for you...
About me....hmmm...that's the title of this section, and since I can't seem to get rid of the dog~gone thing, I guess that means I have to tell you a little about myself.
Where to start?
I've never really been good at talking about myself ~ maybe because I was always taught to be seen and not heard. But then again, I have never really been one who liked to be seen either. Maybe that is because life was always a little easier if I simply blended into the background. It has only been in the last few years that I have truly made great strides in overcoming the person that I was taught to be in order to become the person that I am.
I am a very creative, emotive, kind, compassionate, and loving person. I have been hurt deeply by life, but I know that I would not understand true meaning of joy if I had never experienced pain. Although I have been shaped by my past, I refuse to be defined by it.
Everything that I have done in my life has led me to this moment.
The reason that I am on MySpace is to help victims of abuse find a voice....

MySpace Won't Give Names of Sex Offenders
Grrr....I am so ticked off at MySpace right now!! I tried to send this message as a bulletin few minutes ago, but apparently this type of message is considered "phishing" by MySpace. They blocked my account twice because I tried to send this out. Now we really know what their filters are for....

I was reading MSN News just now and saw this article:
MySpace won't give names of sex offenders
It seems that they think that helping sex offenders violate the terms of their release is ok, as long as they protect their right to privacy under the Electronic Privacy Act. Who cares about the thousands of innocent children, women, and men who could become prey to these individuals!!!
It is a crime that the government requires these individuals to be publicly identified for our safety, but MySpace can make it's own rules because it is "electronic."
I am very grateful for the Attorney Generals who have taken this fight on. Hopefully, they will not stop, and many more will get involved. If you live in a state that is listed in this article, please send a note of support to your Attorney General and thank them for standing up for your right to safety. If your state is not listed, please send the article to your Attorney General and ask them to please join the fight to protect our children & teens from people who are violating the laws that have been set to protect us from them.

My Survivor Songs:
My favorite quotes:
"...that treasure is your heart...No doubt it has been misunderstood. Surely, it has been assaulted. But it is there, your true heart, and it is worth recovering. You are captivating.
~ from Captivating by John & Staci Eldredge
"...so long as the soul keeps this firmness of purpose which sanctifies even the body, the violence done by another's lust makes no impression on this bodily sanctity, which is preserved by one's own persistant countinence..."
~St Augustine
