About Me

Friends! Thanks for peaking in to check out my material! I have been writing since childhood and it continues to be my passion. As a Christian, first and foremost, though, I realize that it is just a vessel for me to do more significant things in his name. In heart and in deed, I believe in spreading the word on Rachel's Ministry, St. Jude, Make A Wish and Habitat for Humanity. Also, as I have been both significantly blessed and challenged by what the experts call "Attention-Deficit/ HyperactiveDisorder": I am not a fan of the acronym AD/HD, by they way, but, do appreciate the WEALTH of information that has been discovered in the area of AD/HD research. This being said, a significant part of my life's mission/passion is to plant a seed to create a new way of defining these often, very creative/insightful individuals. More so, it is a true desire of mine to live in a world that acknowledges an interdependance amongst the linear and non-linear folks. As there is still much controversy surrounding AD/HD, one thing is for certain, I do not believe that it is in line with our Civil Liberties/Constitutional Rights to allow only a certain segment of the population to thrive in our Country. So I invite you to partake in the, September 19th 2007, 4th annual Senate-Appointed AD/HD Awareness and Education Day. In the spirit of the Non-Linears and Linears coming together as one, I am posting the lyrics to a song I wrote in 2001, inspired by the obvious turn of events that Fall, however, it seems to fit the above-mentioned theme. Enjoy. Tell Oprah.WHEN WE ARE ONE Copyright 2001So many times people run away When little things go wrong They turn their back on one another Refuse to get alongBut, If it was up to me Here's how it should be If we're gonna be strong We've got to face our fears, loud and clear To break a new DawnWhere we are one Where we are free To share a little love with one another That's how it's got to be When we are one When we are free To lessen the load of our sisters and brothers For a brand new heart beatScreamin and shoutin ain't what it's all about It'll make a heart grow cold But a tender word, loves to be heard By both young and old We better count our blessings, start confessin We need a hand to hold Grab on to mine and you will find The truth will be goldWhen we are one When we are free To share a little love with one another That's how it's got to be When we are one We will be free To lessen the load of our sisters and brothers For a brand new heart beatBridgeSometimes all we have to do to believe Is pick our hearts up, dust them off And place them on our sleevesThen everyone Will be free To share a little love with one another That's how it's got to be When everyone Knows it's free (Don't cost a thing) To lessen the load of our sisters and brothers For a brand new heart beatWhen we are one We will be free When we are one (Softly- We will have won)
