About Me

Hello! I am currently working on a project that is rapidly taking form...If you'd like to contribute please send me something! Here's the deal- I am looking for stories/essays/art and poetry from the person (male or female) who experienced one of these topics. -single parenting-teenage pregnancies-abortion-adoption-miscarriages-stillbirths. It can literally be a sentence-a paragraph-a page there is no limit on words- 1 word to unlimited. I'm looking for works from people of all ages. So take the time out and share your work with me! I'm hoping to (with permissions) compile the information into a book or a website to be a resource for women and men who find themselves in the same situation! Your story could help inspire someone and get them through it! Here's how you can contact me with your story. -my website with detailed information www.helpinspireothers.com -Send me some mail via post at- P.O. Box 66 Bethpage, N.Y. 11714 -follow my story at- www.helpinspireothers.blogspot.com So far I have been on the radio asking for submissions-used myspace-and forwarded emails....any suggestions, questions, comments, feedback let me know. Thanks again! This information doesn't pertain to you? pass it on to someone who it does! Check out my website here

My Interests

Kairi, Jack Skellington, cons, Edvard Munch, Dali, poker, rugrats mac and cheese, tattoos, my girly friends, being so in love, vegetarians, museums, Egypt, weather, my bed, Tim Burton, thought provoking flicks, Vangoh, Shel Silverstein, air hockey, kingdom hearts.i like to write,paint, and sing. "i love love. i love being in love-i don't care what it does to me." i enjoy things like looking at stars, playing in snow, and hand picked flowers... I'd like for someone to tell me someday that they need me like a fish needs water. "I think I lost myself somewhere in all this time. The person staring back at me has my face but isn't mine. I lost the person who i once was, a person of truth and carefree, the person in the mirror has my face- but i know it isn't me. Maybe one day I'll find who I was-maybe our paths will meet- Until then I try to find the person who I used to be. Maybe along some wavy beach while looking beyond the sea- the girl I used to be can wash up on shore and come back to me."

I'd like to meet:

I'm a loser,a lover, a fighter, a waitress,a pain in the ass, a single mom, a hypocrite, a sleeper, a poser, a nightmare before christmas collector,a contradiction,a writer,a dreamer,a karaoke singer, a realist, an artist, a believer of love, a seeker, a big kid, a mid lib player, a faker, a strong woman, an ex piano player.
