About Me

Just a little country girl trying to make it in the BIG city. Moved to Washington DC on July 17, 2006. It's been an amazing ADVENTURE to say the least! I did manage to find myself an apartment that I really do like, no roomies and no friendly little critters crawling around here either! I've packed up and left Hawaii to experience life on the east coast for a little while. Who knows what's in store for me...
I think the best thing happend to me right before I left the islands. I got introduced to this AMAZING opportunity...My life will never be the same!
This past weekend (Sept. 8th - 10th) I got to see Mr. Donald Trump...A life changing experience. One of the most SUCCESSFUL people in the world came to talk to ME!
Interested? Just ask...
A few things I've already learned while away from home...
*You can't say the right things to the wrong person and you can't say the wrong thing to the right person*
*Commitment comes before success*
*You don't get in life what you desire...You get in life what you expect*
*Some will, some won't, some wait, so what*
*It's adversity not comfort that makes you great*
*It is the uncomfortable that will lead you to greatness*
*Hard Work beats talent when talent's not willing to work hard*
*People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care!*
*Character is the ability to continue on with good resolution long after the mood in which you made that resolution has left you*
*Weather you think you can or can't...you're right*

What have I been up to here in DC?...

Everything I Miss about HOME...

*No one can make you feel inferior without your consent*
~Eleanor Roosevelt

*be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind*
~dr. seuss

*twentysomethings get lost somewhere in between what they think they should be doing, what society tells them they should be doing and what they actually want to be doing*
~from "quarterlife crisis"

"People come in and out of your life, sometimes for a day, sometimes for longer. And all of them make you what you are. You can't separate these people out of you. They form who you are. At the end, when soul mates come and go, you're never alone even when you're standing just you in your shoes because you carry them with you."
