About Me

I'm a pretty down to earth person, not much concern about the cosmetic or financial side of life. I love God, my husband, family/friends, ethnic and other (creative) types of music, writing poetry, experiencing different cultures, photography (there's nothing like the smell of a darkroom on an early Saturday morning!!!), art in general actually, going to the beach, going to the city, spreading and learning more about truth, love, and life, meeting new people, and loving all the ones already in my life. Oh, and I have a really strange sense of humor…the norm makes me giggle but, the weirder/cornier, the better for me. Just like everyone else I have my regrets in life, I've lost loved ones, messed up relationships, cried about f....d up love interests, thought celebrities were to be treated as gods, believed that I was worthless, thought God was just there for the good times, missed out on beautiful opportunities, been on this computer too long, etc.... But I believe that as long as God is in our lives and is cherished that everything will work out for good! I write poetry and am artsy-fartsy but, I have a hard time sharing my stuff. I'm insecure about a lot of things but, if I get passionate about something, my heart knows no limits of defending it. Most of my family (hi Tani) lives on that beautiful nature abundant rock in the middle of the Pacific named Hawaii. Her aloha still flows through me and helps me to be as loving and accepting of the variety of people that exist in the mainland. So, now that you know I'm just as much or more of a f..k up as you, don't be afraid to read on and get to know a little more about me! I can't wait to meet all of you!!! Happiness, blessings, and love!!!
