About Me

Two basic things you should know about me: I love God and I love people.

My relationship with God is not about being religious or following a bunch of rules.

I'm not just another nice girl. I'm assertive, know what I want, and freely speak my mind.

I'm a person of my word. If I say I'll do something, I'll do it.

The one thing that I can least tolerate is dishonesty. Be real with me. I'll be real with you. I don't associate with fakies.

I have a lot of hopes, dreams, ideas and what not. I express myself through music (singing, piano, gutair, songwriting, etc...), through art, and through the long lost art of communication.

Know who I am through what I do. Read my blogs, check out my music myspace (the last link on my top friends), and if you have any questions feel free to ask them. I'm pretty much an open book.

la la la la la la LOVE to you all.

I'd like to meet:

Heroes:

My heroes are those who try to shape their lives to Christ. Those who overcome their fears, those who continue to press forward when the going gets rough, those who choose to love rather than hate, those who choose to act rather than speak, those who face perssecution, those who find joy in life, those who have picked themselves up after falling, those who all things give glory to God and who are not worried about titles. Those who seek His face. They are my heroes. There are many. I love you all...
