First thing to know about me. . .I love life! I love my career/job, my hubsband who is truly my best friend, and each one of my closest girlfriends that I hold dear to my heart. OK - that includes my beer drinking buds too! My hobbies and interests include learning, traveling, reading, and writing. In life and mostly in my job, I need to feel challenged. I know I am not designed to be average and accept the norm. My motto is "Challenge the Process" which means: to find better ways to do what you do, to be more effecient, be smarter, be more accurate, be nicer, be more helpful, etc. I do not "know it all" and am far from perfect. It took me until age 35 to learn to replace arrogance with confidence, yet I still stubble once in a while. Age has brought me patience and tolerance. The biggest lesson I learned so far in life is that 80% of humans are co-dependent. In short, that means we are not "at peace with ourselves or have self-esteem." In long, it means most people suffer from something they did not receive as a child growing up, whether it be love, affection, acceptance, nuture, guidance, etc. Co-dependent people internalize their pain of their past and as a result in our adulthood, we externalize our pain through our actions. As adults, people become impatient, insecure, immature, jealous, hateful, arrogant, intolerant, etc. If past pain is not dealt with properly, it becomes the lesson our children learn. I feel that I have dealt with most of the demons of my past, however, believe that there are still a few left out there lerking in the bushes I am not yet aware of. Beyond that, I feel I have a positive attitude (most of the time), believe that out of everything negative that happens, something positive will come, and that life is what you make it. I have learned that dreams can become reality with a lot of hard work, dedication, drive, and motivation, but what counts the most is passion. If you don't know what you are passionate about (other than friends and family), you truly have not yet learned who you are or can be as an individual. Last, but not least, learn to love yourself...Myspace Graphics
