About Me


I am pretty much an open book. What you see is what you get with me. I learned the hard way what happens when you keep your true feelings to yourself, and I refuse to compromise my principles or my sanity when it comes to something I don't believe in. In contrast, I am a very openminded person, and I believe that people should be free to express themselves without limits or restrictions. People need individuality and creativity in order to prosper. I am a very spiritual person, but I don't conform to mainstream, organized religion. My beliefs are more closely associated with being Wiccan, although I consider myself more pagan than anything. Being pagan does not mean that I don't believe in God, nor does it mean that I worship the devil. I believe in the beauty of nature, and all the secrets that it holds. I also believe that in order for someone to be spiritually whole, they must be able to embrace the positive and the negative of things because you need both to have a balance. Nature is a true example of the balance of both worlds. I practice magick, read tarot cards, work with numerology and astrology, and I am a paranormal investigator with a group known as Spirit of the Baker Investigations. I have a strong love for history, and I am the chair for the Baker Preservation Society, Inc. Our purpose is to help save the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells, Texas. I also have a passion for literature, and as a result, I am a writer and a bibliophile. I have written several short stories, poems, and I am currently working on two novels. My bookcases are filled with books I have collected over the years. Some of them I have read, many not. I believe the best gift to give a person is a book. On a more personal note, I have been married for 17 years, and I have three teenagers. I had gastric bypass surgery on August 4, 2006, and it has been very successful.

Heroes:

Queen Elizabeth I, because she faced unsurmountable odds and became the greatest ruler of all time. Princess Diana, Oprah Winfrey, and Angelina Jolie for their humanitarianism. My brother, Greg, for not being afraid to live life to the fullest. Also, my Mammy & Granddad, whose love of history and sense of humor made me the person I am today.

My Blog

Nostalgia

My life has been so incredibly busy as of late that I don't know if I'm coming or going.  School is kicking my ass this semester.  It isn't that it's all that difficult, it's just that I'm c...

Its Been Awhile

Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I actually posted a blog.  The last few weeks have been so hectic that by the time I get home, all I want to do is curl up on the couch and watch TV....

Classics and New Additions

Last week, my husband rented an SUV for us to use during our vacation.  My car works just fine, but when you are trying to fit three grown teenagers and two adults in a small Ford Focus SE, it's ...

At the Crossroads

I have had company for over the last week, so I haven't really had much time to even sit in front of a computer to check my emails, much less type out a blog.  Things are quiet this afternoon, so...

Sharing Your Thoughts

Sharing my innermost thoughts and feelings with others makes me very uncomfortable.  I have always been really good about guarding my feelings and not telling anyone how I truly felt.  ...

Over the last couple of weeks, I have really been working on my personal growth and making major changes in the way I am now treating myself.  I have been on a path of self-hatred for so long tha...

Glad I Did It!

Yesterday, I took my daughters to visit their family.  I haven't seen any of them since I was down there at Christmas, so their jaws dropped when they saw me.  I know that I should expect wh...
