About Me


I'm just a girl trying to understand life. Enjoying the ride so far. I don't have everything figured out, but I'm starting to get the hang of things. If I've learned anything in this life, it is to BE POSTIVE! No one ever got anywhere looking at the down side of things. My Faith is intense.
If you believe everything happens for a reason, then you have to believe that when things go bad, it is for the best. Therefore, there really is no such thing as a "mistake" or "bad" things that happen to you...there is a purpose to everything, even if it is just to teach you something simple. When you look at things this way, it is hard to ever not find contentment.
I put a rather large importance on family. We look out for each other with a fiercness. I can count on them to never judge and always love unconditionally. I treat them with the same respect.
As far as friends, I've learned to be selective. Dr. Suess had the right idea. I have amazing friends, I feel incredibly blessed to know them and call them my friend.
There is always room for change in life, and it doesn't always have to be a bad thing. It isn't what happens to you, it's how you react to it that determines your happiness. Life is not always rainbows and kisses and smilie faces, but it is good. If you are breathing and still have all your limbs, I hope you're as thrilled to be alive as I am. You should be. I'm going to write a book one day. Look for me at your local bookstore.
I'm a realist. I'll tell it like it is.
"Any path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you ... Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question ... Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use." - Carlos Castaneda
