"Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
I'm going to do something BIG - change the world, or at least make a huge impact on it! Just have to figure out how...
I thought I had it all figured out at one point, but even I am really in the process of learning all there is to know "about me"...I know that I'm a different, better person every day and that I learn a lot every moment I live. I get a big part of who I am from the people I know and the people I meet on a daily basis. People who have had a huge influence on who I am today are: my mommie, my sister and brothers, Faye, Aunt Edith, Aimee Stern, Edgar Rothschild, the Clinique girls, Kaye Bass, Jessica and her family, Lou, Aunt Mary Margaret and Uncle Bobby, Aunt Darlene, Jeff, Todd, and Jerry, and all my girls: Robbie, Karla, Ann, Judy, Erin, Melissa, Holly Carter and last, but certainly not least - my beautiful neices: Mary, Mandy, Kayla, Ava, and my nephew, Caedan.
By the way, Flickerstick is the best band, ever!!
