About Me


ABOUT ME: My name is Holly, "HJ"...and I live very simply in a cozy (and dusty) little apartment with my two little furry four-legged friends (Chase & Jade), in my wonderful beach town of Daytona Beach, where I've lived most of my life. I did venture off to live in "HotLanta" when I was 29, but I returned home several years later. I'm a true southern girl, although the rest of my entire family is from New England, so I've had the BEST of both worlds!I love the Lord with all of my heart, and I'm so grateful for His Lovingkindness and Mercy on my life! Without a doubt, I have been blessed with the BEST FRIENDS in the entire world, who I treasure (and who I've shared at least a kazillion laughs with) ~ Bunny, Jackie, Lulu, My Big Sis' Joy, JunieBug -In Atlanta, and Marti - (who I lost in this life in 2003). In my friends - I truly am "The Richest Lady In Town!"I have a brother (Rex) and 3 sweet sisters (Joy, Denise, and Iris - pictured here with me) who have BLESSED ME WITH 5 WONDERFUL NIECES & NEPHEWS, WHO I ADORE - Denny, Phillip, Josh, Kimber, and Lil' HJ! :-D (Also, I have alot of extended family - here, in Atlanta & in North Carolina)I LOVE anything to do with the OCEAN, NAUTICAL, UNDER THE SEA, and BEING OUT OVER THE WATER. I rode the original FLIPPER from the TV show, back when I was 10. It was one of the biggest thrills of my life! Through the Wild Dolphin Foundation, I adopted "SILVER" and "RIPCURL!" How COOL, to have your very own dolphin!! Wouldn't YOU love to adopt Silver or Rip too? :-)Also, I'm a Florida Gators, Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Braves, & Tampa Bay Bucs Fan!!! GO YOU GUYS!!!

Music:

BOTH LONGTIME AND NEW - THESE HAVE BEEN MY PERSONAL FAVORITE MUSICIANS THROUGH THE YEARS: Marti, Bunny, Jackie, June, Phillip - Our Sophisticated Fiddler, Josh - Our "Rad" Drummer Boy, Cameron - Our Multi-Talented Guitarman, Mandy n' Eric, New Covenant, Casting Crowns, Sandi Patty, Dallas Holm, The Pat Terry Group, Avalon, Steven Curtis Chapman, Amy Grant, Babbie Mason, The Carpenters, The BeeGees, Alan Jackson, Wynonna, Martina McBride, Brad Paisley, Sugarland, Gloria Estefan, Rita Coolidge, Chicago, The Beatles, Marilyn McCoo, Collin Raye, Vince Gill, Elvis, The Commodores, Gladys Knight, Bette Midler, The Beach Boys, The Spinners, Linda Ronstadt, Barry Manilow, The Judds, Keith Whitley, Lorrie Morgan, Buck Owens and The Buckaroos, Roy Drusky, The Guess Who, Gary Puckett and The Union Gap, The Buckinghams, The Monkees, Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Roberta Flack, Patty Loveless, Barbara Streisand, Barbara Mandrell, Melinda Doolittle, Frankie Valli, Neil Diamond, Neil Sedaka, Liza, B. J. Thomas, Glen Campbell, Nat King Cole, Natalie Cole, and Michael Bolton.**Also, I Love music that HONORS the Lord - and ushers in the presence of the Holy Spirit - a mixture of praise and worship, contemporary christian, choir ballads, and favorite old hymns too. I want ANOINTED music. True Worship comes from "within", not through outward stimulations. No "hype" here please. I never want to move away from respect, reverence, and humility, in worshipping the Lord. "Moving with the times" to me means making room for the "new" and..."embracing the old" - not doing away with it. That doesn't even make sense!

Television:

TV - I CAN ONLY GET ABC: Boston Legal, Wonderful World of Disney, AFV, Dancing with The Stars, Grey's Anatomy, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, and Jeopardy.

"I'm saying, those were some good honkin' shows!"

Books:

AND BOOKS I LIKE: Well? Usually I'm "booking it" down the road in "Emerald" my little car - Giddy-Up!! Okay...so, along with my Bible, I read "Streams In The Desert" - my Daily Devotional, and an occasional Inspirational Book. Also, can I admit I prefer reading books - with pictures? :-) I like the Dictionary - (Words mean ALOT to me), and believe this - I read Recipe Books like they're novels! LOL I also like to read Instructional Art books, Self-Help, and Do-It-Yourself stuff. That's about it.

Heroes:

FIRST AND FOREMOST - My Mama! She was a kind, sweet, shy woman - a real marshmallow. And, she was a wonderful, strong, giving, hard-working provider - who sacrificed her own wants and needs for her children. As time goes by without her, I understand more and more just how blessed I was that she was mine. :..-) To you Mom..MUAH!Also, here are some pretty awesome people, that I look up to tremendously: Jesus Christ, my Savior - of course. My best friends in the world - Jackie n' Brian, Lulu, Ron n' Bunny, Marti, my Big Sis' Joy, and June n' Bob. Also, I greatly respect the talents, creativity, and "heart" of Walt Disney, Jim Henson, Lucille Ball, and Jacques Cousteau! And lets not forget our Armed Forces, and the men and women who protect this great country everyday, and lay it all out on the line! *To My Heroes, "Each and every one of you have 'rocked my world' - and for that I truly thank you!" :-)
