When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

About Me

I am a small town girl who moved to Miami for love. I am married to my best friend and I am so excited to have many little adventures with him. I want to travel the world and meet new people from different cultures. I think that traveling humbles you and makes you a better person. I have plans to go on an African Safari, snowboard in the Swiss Alps, experience Europe, run a marathon, and go on a mission trip in the near future. Life is wonderful and I look forward to where it takes me.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet genuine people with good hearts, a sense of humor, and a positive outlook on life. I definitely would love to meet the pope. :0)

Music:

I like a wide variety of music. I appreciate true talent. I have recently fallen in love with the music of Andrea Bocelli. His voice is absolutely amazing.

Movies:

Patch Adams, The Pursuit of Happyness, The Bucket List, and Spanglish

Television:

Law and Order

Books:

The Bible, The Four Agreements, The Alchemist

Heroes:

Mother Teresa is one of my heroes. I so desperately want to help people in such a loving way as she did. I want to see the face of Jesus in everybody and truly help the poor. My dream is to work in third world countries as a nurse and help the people who are often forgotten by the rest of us. I want to have a heart of gold like she did and touch the lives of others in a very special way.

Prayer of Mother Teresa:

DEAR JESUS, help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Thy spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of Thine. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Thy presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others.

Monster Cookies

I was too impatient to wait for the family recipe for Monster cookies so I looked up a recipe online. Unfortunately it had too much peanut butter. The cookies are edible but I don't really like them...
