About Me

“There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your live those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect.” ~~~~~Nikki Giovanni
MySpace Glitter Graphics First off I adore my babies, family is the utmost! wise ones understand before its too late. About Me: I have adored butterflies long before they were trendy :P I longed to give my Dd the middle name Mariposa, Papa vetoed that one. I have a Butterfly marked on me (silly teenager!!) it symbolizes that life, through the metamorphosis as painful and awkward as it can be, as short and sweet as it is, can still be stunningly beautiful. I always wear a mariposa around my neck... strange but I looked back over the years in pics and just noticed I've had so many. My dear sweet sister friend was buried on Mariposa lane, I was not surprised. I adore Betty boop, gardenia and jasmine. Modern dance, Dance theater of Harlem, Alvin Ailey Company, Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, Alice Walker, Amy Tan, Anna Quindlin, The Word of God and those that follow it. :). I love Mika's memory, her laugh is in my head, lol. I am L.A. girl. From Redondo Beach to IngleWOOOOOOOOOD to the Valley and everywhere in between... But I'm loving the slowness and simplicity of The Lone Star state. My babies are thriving and that fills me with joy. :) I'd give my home for serenity, My Diamonds for Simplicity and my name for Authenticity. I have Peace. Peace and simplicity and a family focused on our brilliant future bathed in truth and light. All praises to God! :) Xxoxoxox

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Nina Simone A ark full of people. Live draped in authenticity. Beauty is as beauty does.

 March 5, 1992 My Dad passed away.   That day was seared in my consciousness for several years. As the day approached, I would try to sweep it into the crevices to hide its expanding presence.  Even i...
