I am here for Friends

About Me

Mmmmmm, let's see. I'm quiet & reserved, at first - just checking things out - until I get to know you ;) Passionate, funny, silly at times, laid back/easy going, smart, inquizitive, air-headed at times, odd - i have my own style and way of doing things that some may not understand, but hey, I'm not a follower. Because of that, I can be a loner at times. I'm very loving almost to a fault because it's in my nature to love very deep, I find that (some) men especially, don't know how to truly recieve and/or know what to do with deep/real love, so, I've been hurt... but I realize that everything that happens is in our Divine Creator's plan to help make me into the woman that He created me to be, so I am thankful. We all have a story to tell, yes? So overall, I accept the good with the bad with a humble heart. I'm no angel ;) I change the things I can, and leave what I can't change to God. I am continuously evolving and I love it! I'm mysterious, classy, clairvoyant, calm, spiritual --not afraid to say that I'm a Christian and that I love the Lord! Without Him, I would be nothing. Good, bad, free-spirit, crazy, sexy, cool ;) I love poetry/spoken word, dancing, just relaxing & doing nothing with the fam, long drives, love to travel -- although I was born and raised most of my life in New Mexico, I was a "military brat," so I was fortunate to travel to several places around the world. During that time, I FELL IN LOVE with the different countries, the different cultures, some of the different languages. Sooo many beautiful people in this world with beautiful HEARTS. I am an "island girl" in my heart & soul. I love hot climates and the beach -- so relaxing and spiritually rejuvenating. So now, I love to travel when I can. I also love candles, incense, good music, good/real people, brown stew chicken from the Jamaican cafe around the corner -- mmmm it's so good! lol, rainy nights & a good book or good conversation, spending time at Barnes & Noble with a Caramel Macchiato -- I can spend hours there, flowers (roses, orchids, all kinds of lillies) deep conversation, I love comedy - Kat Williams, Ralphie Mae, Dave Chappelle to name a few ;), Food: Mexican, Italian, Brazilian, Indian, seafood, Thai, Jamaican...to name a few. Drink: Ice cold milk, ice coffee, chamomile tea & honey, Kendall Jackson Chardonnay, Kendall Jackson Reisling, and margaritas ;) Professional: I am in the skincare/beauty industry and it's been good to me. Such a perfect fit for me -- it's such a feminine job and I love being feminine ;) and helping women and men feel beautiful "I LOVE my job" lol. That's it for now ;) Thank you for stopping by ;) Peace & Blessings to you & yours...

My Interests


Profile Graphics - MyspaceBarn.com...If a woman feels like a lady and is able to celebrate herself, she will attract into her life people who reflect her own opinion of herself. There are moments when even the strongest woman can appreciate the reinforcement of a man who is comfortable with who he is and who can be her anchor in the storms of life. He will be the warm hand touching the small of her back, giving her the stability to go forward. He will give her the feeling of uncompromising love as she faces the various ages and stages of life. He gives her body release, her mind a melody, and her spirit a gust of wind that makes her able to soar. When the lady has a lover, her eyes sparkle, her smile is bright, and her voice is calm and passionate. With her lover at her side, her heart is peaceful, for she is secure and can close her eyes and rest her head on his shoulder.... But, in the stillness of the night, when he has gone to sleep and there are pending issues on her mind, it is her Lord who works the night shift and watches over her in the dark. He is the one whom she can talk to when her words cannot describe what she is feeling... her husband may understand what she says, but her Lord understands what she feels... From one of my favorite books "The Lady, Her Lover, Her Lord," by Bishop T.D. Jakes~THE BLACK MAN... His ebony skin, dark eyes, and full lips. The deep shadow of his jaw, broad shoulders strong enough to carry the world. He is the descendent of kings and the father of many nations... A commanding force in the jungle we call...life...
