I love to secretly pray someone through a situation and then thank God for changing their life! That rocks my world! I love to learn new things and travel. I enjoy the beach, cooking, baking. I want to learn to sew at some point and take up archery. One day I'd like to host a radio show...for believers. I also enjoy reading autobiographies, biographies, poetry. I love to sit and talk and get to know people better. I love to encourage people. I love to nudge people toward being their "best selves." I believe challenge is good for the soul. It is the only way we grow.
I'd like to meet:
People who like to read, to think, to grow and learn. I respect people who keep their word. I really admire people who step up to the challenges that life brings, those who rise to the occasion - people who look at a problem and say, "I will not be defeated!" I like to align myself with warriors. I like people who like to laugh and have fun, play on the beach ALL day, drink coffee (have you tried using a French Press to make your coffee? Wonderful!! Thanks Tudie!) but not at the expense of their growth - you have to have balance. I distance myself from drama and negativity. The tomfoolery that does come my way, I try to keep enough good friends around who can help me navigate through it. There is safety in the multitude of counselors! I appreciate people who work hard to nurture their children and families - my family IS my mission field. I believe more than anything that touches God's heart.
Music:
Praise & Worship, Classical, Jazz, R&B, Blues, Contemporary Gospel, Old School East Coast Hip Hop, Contemporary Christian, anything that encourages me, gets me up out bed and that I can sing and dance to!
Movies:
The Wedding Singer, A River Runs Through It, Chocolat, Like Water for Chocolate, Braveheart, The House of Spirits, The Color Purple, The Count of Monte Cristo, Something's Gotta Give, Along Came Polly, Tyler Perry stuff when I'm in a really silly mood
Television:
I have to admit that I'm a bit of a voyeur: I'm into some of these daggone reality shows and boy oh boy are they addicting! I won't say which shows have me hooked, but I will comment that surprisingly, Snoop Dogg's humanity is refreshing. Who knew that he is a big softy behind all that bravado? Pray for my strength y'all!

Heroes:
My husband is my hero. He always does what he says he will do and then he sweeps me off my feet! My grandmother and my mother have given their lives to nurture and guide me - given me roots and wings and all that I need! My mother in law has helped to mature my spiritual walk in an indescribable way. I love each of you with all that I have....
You Are A Lily
You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist.
People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you.
You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words.
Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize.
