About Me

This is where I stand today...I live strictly by one rule. Respect, everyone and everything. I believe once there is no respect there are no boundaries. Respect me and I will always do the same. Disrespect me and you will see a whole other side of me you are not going to like as I will not hold back, at all. I believe good manners never go out of style and courtesy is not overrated.I really like meeting new people, I love talking to just about anyone, anywhere about anything. I believe in the goodness of people until they show me otherwise. I don't care who you are, where you're from... Don't bring negativity into my life because it is not welcome. I am not looking to take anything from anyone, I have what I want and need, anything you choose to share is a bonus. I consider myself a deep thinker. I am very spiritual and by this I don't mean going to church although I do believe God is in fact the one that started it all... I work very hard at home, at work and my life in General. You may have met a woman with three kids but I can guarantee, you have never met one with a life like mine so don't treat me like the average Jane because its not me and I find that very disrespectful ;) I am outgoing, outspoken and Driven. I am not looking to meet anyone here or anywhere for anything other than friendship and I see nothing wrong with that neither should you, male or female. I am a very happy person although my pictures look otherwise most of the time. I have a good sense of humor and I love harmless sarcasm. I have 3 beautiful children, I am completely in love with them. My middle son has Autism, he is my little Angel. He doesn't talk and sometimes doesn't even listen but he is what I consider the perfect example of purity. I believe that life is shaped by the choices you make today and you are living the choices you made yesterday.

My Interests

WHAT IS AUTISM?PERSONAL NOTE FROM Luna (Me) ;) Autism means My child marches to the beat of his own drummer... My son... a gorgeous little boy... with a beautiful name that has a very different way of seeing things and processing things. MY LITTLE BOY! I am not trying to fix my son, he is not broken. I am not seeking a cure, I see nothing to cure.AWARENESS... Now that's a beautiful thing ;)

I'd like to meet:

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.-Maya Angelou
