About Me

Hola! Welcome to my little piece of the internet. Sit down, have a drink - make yourself comfortable! : )
About me...well, I wonder, do you really care? I mean, seriously, what does anyone want to convey here? Let's see...
I'm almost 40, I have a job that works but nothing that I dig at this point - it pays the bills so to say. What I'd really love to be doing is Event Planning. I love it - always have - just never thought about it as a career. I'll have to think about that more.
I have a daughter who I totally adore. She is 5 and is the coolest kid I know! I'm not partial at all! L! She's got a great sense of humor, she's thoughtful and sweet. She's the bomb! Brilliant. She will blow your mind!
I'm recently divorced and not looking for anything right now. Still licking my wounds to some extent. I think I have crested the hill on that though and am coming down the other side. No regrets. I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't made it through all that. What doesn't kick your ass makes you stronger right? Just thankful to be where I am and to no longer be dealing with affects of alcoholism on a daily basis! This is a drama free zone man! : )
So..as you can tell, I am a Francophile. Have been since I was 7. Looking through an art book, I saw a picture of the French countryside and fell in love. It felt familiar to me. So..there it is. I have yet to make the trip across the pond to get there and see it for myself. Hopefully that will happen soon. If you have been there and want to share your thoughts on it, by all means, hit me up!
Thanks for checking out my space and have a splendid day! Okay...mmmm...hmmmm...bye....bye! ~Rochelle

~My Opinion~

I firmly believe that our President needs to be impeached; Obama needs to be elected in 2008; our environment needs our protection - I just hope that greed doesn't diffuse the current movement; the war in Iraq is motivated by oil; supporting our troops is imparative; the death penalty needs to be abolished because our Legal System is corrupt and prejudiced by the almighty $; equal rights for all people should be our #1 priority; ignorance is not bliss; and we should all strive for world peace!

Books:

~My Thoughts~

I believe that each person who crosses our path in this life has something to teach us. Don't be judgemental - you might miss the lesson! Additionally, we need to teach our children never to stop questioning.
N E V E R!

Things I have learned so far...

Always listen to your inner voice - it rarely speaks out of turn. Actions do speak louder than words. It's not the thought that counts if you never planned on taking action. Figure out what is your bu...
