About Me

I am passive. I am assertive. I am loving. I am even sometimes uncaring. I am an introvert and an extrovert, confident and insecure. I am sweet with a mean streak, happy and depressed. I am the culmination of twenty seven years of experience and all that implies. I am, within, that same five year old girl who learned to sit quietly, prim and proper with a smile. I am that shy, eager to please girl of ten, hidden behind a book. I am that misunderstood, rebellious adolescent seeking validation. I am a mother, nurturing and unconditionally loving. I am a passionate, ambitious, intelligent woman confidently declaring myself to the world. I've been called indecisive, I've been called crazy...well, I've been called a lot of things. I am a woman with a history, an indelible past, with substance. I am a contradiction and I'd rather be that than fit into some stereotypical box to avoid confusion. I am human. I am me. To know me is not necessarily to love me, only to know me.

My Interests

Singing (when nobody's around to hear), Reading, Writing, Yoga, Astrology, Poetry, bowling, dancing, camping, just actin' up.

I'd like to meet:

There are so many people I would love to meet, whether it be to ask them a question about a particular event or to listen to the story of their life. Echo Bodine - Author of "A Still Small Voice", Laurie Cabot - Author of "The Witch in Every Woman",Dr. Wayne Dyer - Author of "The Power of Intention", Oprah (who needs no introduction)...And many more. As far as Myspace is concerned, I'd like to meet anyone who feels as though they can connect with me on something in some way. And please KEEP IT CLASSY!

Easier Said Than Done

It's Not You, It's Me

The Lesser of Two Evils

Now. I try to be nice. I try to conduct myself in a manner which is classy and in line with my intelligence but, tell me why people take me at face value on that? I mean we all have many differen...

Only Time Will Tell

Do you ever really know someone? Can you ever fully trust that words and actions are based on what's truly going on in someone's head? I see people I've known for years, representing themselves as som...
