My interest range as much as my variety of music... spending time with my children, going to movies, horse back riding, playing tennis (with Chris Evert -lol), traveling all over, art in all it's forms and wonders, getting carried off in some book, listening to the symphony, writing, photography, cooking, absorbing all the history my brain cells will allow. :)
I'd like to meet:
Ernest Hemmingway, spending time with him on a beach or sailing off the shores; I'd like to have met George Washington as he floated under the Natural Bridge - not making any command decisions in that moment but purely taking in God's wonders as he wrote his name in passing on the stone; and I would've enjoyed living in a town with Norman Rockwell but those people have come and gone... currently I think I'd like to meet Rachael Ray, Joyce Meyer, and anyone else that inspires others, offers hope, and sees the humor in life.
Music:
I enjoy a variety of music and usually play what fits my mood at that point in time... some days you'll find me listening to the sweet sounds of Jazz with Billy Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and my personal friend Jamiee Paul; other days you may find me singing in the rain to Frank Sinatra (by the way, he's not the singer of "singing in the rain"); still other days you may find me line dancing my way around to some Martina McBride, Brad Paisley, and all things country; and yet other moods might turn me to Kelly Clarkson, Celin Dion, Avalon, Point of Grace, or purely nothing more than Praise and Worship. I'm not a fan of rap HOWEVER I must admit that Veggie Tales has an awesome rap song that is great fun! lol
Movies:
Anything with Audrey Hepburn (Breakfast at Tiffany's, Funny Face, My Fair Lady, Roman Holiday, Sabrina, etc.), The Man from Snowy River and Return to Snowy River, Hidaglo, Sleepless in Seattle, National Treasure, Pride and Prejudice, Raising Helen, Ever After, Becoming Jane, Sweet Home Alabama, The Notebook, Serendipity, Something to Talk About, The Bourne Series, The Ocean Series, Bridget Jones, The Wedding Date, Finding Nemo
Television:
Grey's Anatomy, Eli Stone, Samantha Who, Divine Design, Deserving Design, Extreme Home Makeover, News, and anything having to do with history, travel, or cooking.
Books:
Captivating, The Sacred Romance, The Journey of Desire, Blue Like Jazz, anything by Stormie O'Martin, Beth Moore, Joyce Meyer, Jane Austen and Ernest Hemmingway; poetry by William Blake, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and even Benjamin Franklin
Heroes:
I believe that we all have a little bit of hero in each of us no matter how little or great it may be. However people that inspire me would have to consist of Margaret Brent, the first woman that requested to vote, she was declinded but did not give up; Clara Barton for creating the Red Cross; President Ronald Reagan for his ability to be a great leader and still stand for what he believes in; Anna Etheridge, in her quest to save thousands of soilders earning herself the Kearney Medal; Beethoven, who inspite of his deafness became the worlds greatest composer; and of course Jesus Christ himself, as He truly lived a life of love and sacrifice... there are many great people that can inspire us, becoming our heros, if we only open our minds and take in all that is around us.
