About Me

Myspace Contact Tables
ABOUT ME .... I am 48 years old (sigh) should I say "young"??? lol.. born July 14, 1959.. I have lived in Newport News, Va for the last 8 years but originally from Louisville, KY where I lived my whole life before coming here..... I really love being near the water but plan on moving back to Louisville in a few months, hopefully around the middle of June if all goes as planned... I am a mother of 3 fabulous kids although they aren't kids anymore lol my BEAUTIFUL daughter is 30 and lives near DC with her new husband a Gunny Sgt in the Marines and my 2 great and wonderful grandkids Summer 13 and Christian 8, and he has a son that is 13 named Matthew which means I now have 3 wonderful grandkids... my daughter takes wonderful pictures.. she is a great interior decorator as well, but she takes awesome, amazing photos and she is still growing in that area.. can't wait to see them in a few years! lol I also have VERY smart and VERY handsome twin boys that are 28 that go to GA TECH.. Derek just graduated Aug 4th and just got a wonderful job in MD!!! Shawn has a semester to go and will graduate in December... he is going to intern in New Orleans this summer and help rebuild the levees ... !!.. I am so so proud of them all!! A VERY very very very proud mommy lol my family is very small... I haven't seen my dad since I was 4 or 5... 44 years sigh.. wouldn't know him if I passed him on the street and I don't know any of that side of the family.. I am trying to find him and hope to somehow reunite with him before its too late... so on my other side of the family there is my mom who was the only child so hence no aunts or uncles... I have 2 sisters Tara and Tawana and neither could have or did have kids so I was the only one to carry on so there are no neices etc.. my grandmother may she R.I.P. passed away in Jan 2003 and I would love to be able to talk to her now and tell her I am sorry i didn't spend more time with her when she was on this earth... so anyway my mom and my stepdad who I feel is my dad because they have been married 30 years and my 2 sisters and my kids and grankids thats it.. just us... so I treasure what we have or try to anyway and hopefully I will find my dad....
I guess the one BIG one major thing in my life is having to deal with pain and illness... I have chronic pain and tiredness.. sigh... Its not something I really enjoy talking about BUT since it is a HUGE part of my everyday life and affects most of the things I can or can't do, I feel anyone that is going to be a friend of mine or wants to get to know me, should know because it is a part of me whether I like it or not.. and trust me I don't lol but since I can't get rid of it I have to adjust and live with it... it can really get to a person.. I have been diagnosed with many different illnesses Fibromyalgia, CFIDS, EBV, Tuberculosis, I could keep typing but you get the point lol but bottom line is PAIN and TIREDNESSSSSS lol the Fibro and the CFIDS I think affect me the most.. I avoid caffiene and I have to get a good 10 to 12 hours of sleep or else I have a reallyyyy bad day lol I REALLY try to have a good sense of humor despite the blows dealt to me lol I laugh everyday or I would probably cry lol laughter and a good sense of humor and positive attitude can really help .. if you get in a funk and/or are depressed it gets a lot worse... we only have one good life to live.. if I am having a bad day I let my body tell me and I get a lot of rest.. on a decent day I try to get as much as I can done.. its just a constant battle but I will not let it get me down.....
I am a very loving, giving, easy going, quiet and caring person with a huge heart that hates to hurt anyone.. very creative.. I have things constantly going in my head lol.. I am very open and honest... I have a good sense of humor.. I try to be upbeat and positive.. I would say my negative traits would be trusting too easily... giving wayyyy too many chances sigh... and procrastination... thinking if there is anything else... I do know what I do wrong and will admit it freely...I am really trying to work on the procrastination but I think once I get out of the situation I am in now things will be 100 times different in my life and 100 times better!! my kids come first and that is just that lol I don't have a lot of friends but the ones i do I would do anything for.. the number one thing I hate is for someone to lie to me.... once you lose trust its very hard to get back and I am a very honest person and just expect that everyone should tell the truth! what is worse.. lying and then me finding out anyway or just telling the truth from the get go and dealing with it... sigh.. lol just don't understand why people feel the need to lie... drives me insane lol I hate fake people .. I don't understand men.. do they really think if they send you a message saying your pic makes me horney that you are going to say omg thank you and go screw them????? lol what the hell... I mean I don't know about most other women but that sooooo turns me off! I mean what happened to I like Nascar too or talking and communication ... some crazy people out there and men if you are reading this... its NOT a turn on! lol
OMG LMAOOOO I swear not 10 minutes after I put the above in my profile I got a new message.. what did the message say you ask???? this is what it said.. sigh lol No Subject Body: Im looking for someone local to spend some time with every now and then when ever we both feel the urge. I like your pics. So let me know something. Im athletic disease free and have a nice job. I hope to hear from you. ..................... lol okkkkkkkkkkkkk and I am suppose to say what to that??? do I have slut stamped on my face or perhaps desperate???? lol am I suppose to write back and say ok cool anytime lol I mean seriously do they think we want to do that????? I just don't get it lol HUGE sigh lol someone help me get it lol
also I love love LOVE animals.. I am a HUGE cat person lol I sooo love cats and they love me too!!! lol I love doggys too but would rather have a kitty.. dogs you have to take out all the time.. can't really leave for a few days unless you come back to a mess.. cats you scoop every day and you are done lol I have always wanted either a pomeranian or a papillon or an Afhgan dog... love long hair on dogs and cats... love persians etc...
I have 2 shared cats that I love dearly and I throw food out to feed the birds, squirrels and rabbits lol and a few possums and raccoons that come along at night and eat whats left lol I am a very creative person and love to make things..
Also I talk more about myself further down the page and over in Interests but to start... I have been making beautiful jewelry since 1990.. started as a hobby when I was working and then as I kept getting orders and more orders.. I was sitting up till 4am to take in orders for the next day lol and over time I decided that is what I wanted to do in life... I have had my own store and also had jewelry in different stores.. my mom does shows in Louisville, KY and I send jewelry to her to sell at the shows.. I am working on a website to show pictures of my jewelry and get things up and running .....and I hope to list some jewelry on Ebay and Etsy and maybe do some shows around here... I also hope to get to some of the boutiques here and sell... I love doing custom orders.. I make all kinds of jewelry from semi precious stones and sterling silver to jewelry made out of fabric to jewelry out of paper or clay or whatever I can find etc etc... I use many different mediums...I guess my one thing is I love glitz and sparkle lol I am the glitter, crystal, swavorski and rhinestone queen! lol I have a few pictures listed in photos of my friend actress Cindy Morgan wearing one of the necklaces I made for her wearing it at a photo shoot and a conference she did.. I have some of her wearing more at her Caddyshack reunion tournaments and doing tv and radio shows but due to other people being in the pictures i talked to Cindy and we decided it would be best not to post them... read more about Cindy further on down... I have made jewelry in some form since I was very young making rings and necklaces out of clovers, dandelions, and twigs lol
I have some pics here of a few things .. I promise I will get better and more pics as soon as I can... !! these are pieces made out of clay, fabric, sterling silver and semi precious stones etc.. a variety .. I try to sell things from $1.00 to $100.00 so everyone can find something they can afford and love.. and pls I love love LOVE special orders!! tell me what you like!! also welcome any comments ^j^
I also am working on various other things I will mention over in Interests.. I need to get more pictures taken and posted!!
Please continue reading below for more information.. I need as many breaks as possible to show all these beautiful pictures!! LOL
At a VERY early age like 7 lol I became interested in tarot, witchcraft, astrology, numerology, etc... I have always had a witchy side but once I got married and had children I really only had time to keep up with astrology...however, after I got divorced and my kids grew up and for the last 8 years I got my witchy self back!! lol however, I still have a ways to go to be where I want but once I get out of the bad situation I am in right now I know I will get there...
i have been doing great Tarot readings.. I am really good and very detailed ... but please do not ask me for a FREE reading I am so busy right now and have so much going on in my life that I will very rarely do a paid reading... I hope to get things under control and get back to doing more around the summer when things calm down a bit... it takes a LOT of time and energy to do a reading and usually i spend a good 3 to 4 hours with a person .. or over the phone... everyone has to make a living somehow so please respect this.... I think my readings are the cheapest I have seen... I charge 40 dollars for a 20 card reading that takes several hours then answer questions for a good hour so I don't feel I am overcharging lol undercharging is more like it lol but I just love helping people and I just think the ones that charge 100.00 for 20 minutes etc are a bit extreme.. sorry if I am offending those people but its my opinion... it kills me when someone says but you have a gift you are suppose to share it lol ummm a surgeon has a gift but he doesn't do surgery for free.. a musician has a gift of music or song but they don't sing for free lol ...an artist has a gift to draw beautiful pictures.. actors act... but we all have to eat and survive in this world... everyone.. all of us.. have something we can do and we all have strengths and weaknesses in life and its up to each of us to decide what our talents are and what we can do and what we want to do and it is wonderful if you can do what you love... I don't hold a gun to anyones head and make them get a reading..and I don't go out and solicit readings but if someone finds me and wants one then we will talk.. I take what I do very seriously and if I am under stress or my environment is not right I will not do a reading because it is not fair to whom I am doing a reading for... I am a lifetime menber of the Tarot College and Witches School... if u would like more information about my jewelry or readings I would love to hear from you.. please write me on here or send an email to [email protected] ...
ALWAYS remember.... what ye send forth comes back to thee.. so ever mind the law of three.. follow this with mind and heart, merry ye meet, and merry ye part, Blessed Be... and if that doesn't get u.. remember the Karma Gods and Goddesses will..xoxo
I have a good friend actress Cindy Morgan who most people know for her roles playing Lacey Underall in Caddyshack and Lori / Yora in Tron, she also starred in a variety of other movies and tv shows like Falcon Crest, Bring Em Back Alive etc etc.. she is currently writing a book about her life and a few other projects.. for more info on Cindy you can check her new myspace page she is number 2 on my friends list or visit her website at www.cindy-morgan.com.... Cindy and I have been friends for 4 years now and we are shared moms of 2 cats Tajie and Kitty... unfortunately, we lost a pet that we dearly loved, Peanut, on Jan 14th, 2005 .. we still look for him and hope that one day we find him! we will never find peace or have closure till we do sigh ...

I have also been blessed with meeting some great and wonderful friends here on Myspace... my top friends ARE my TOP FRIENDS lol love you all xoxo

SOME OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES:
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear
Loving someone is like caring for a garden, love it too much or too little and it dies, but love it just right and it will live forever
The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out that you still care for that person.
Its a sad thing in life when, you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be, and you just have to let go.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens. But often at times we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

My Interests



These are very special pics of me and my family below.. I have a slideshow of them here and on the right is a slideshow of some of my jewelry.... 1st 29 pics are of me, then my gorgeous daughter Lindsay, my handsome twin sons Shawn and Derek, followed by pictures of Lindsay and Coles wedding on Dec 19th 2007, and then my wonderful and beautiful grandkids Summer, Christian, and my new grandson Matthew, followed by my great furry friends Kitty and Tajie who is 21 ... I am a shared mom of the kitties with my friend and actress Cindy Morgan who is shown in the last set of pics... hope you enjoy.. I tried to speed this up so you didn't have to sit for 30 minutes looking but with over 150 pictures it will take ooo maybe 20 minutes or so lol so if you are watching the slideshow pick a few songs to listen to and enjoy or just go to my photo albums... I have a lot more to add and will be adding new pics all the time... hope you enjoy xoxo ^j^

NOTE: All the pictures of my daughter Lindsay have been taken by or done by her for her company Butterfly Productions.. if you are interesed in having any pictures made or any information, please let me know or contact her.. she is the 1st person on my friends list.. she has her own business doing photography, creating videos out of pictures, and creating beautiful picture artwork... etc... and as you can see she is very creative and doing a fabulous job both as a photographer and a model!!! ps... she also took the pictures of me with the backdrops.. I have had people ask where I got them done professionally and they were all done by my daughter in her basement lol she takes great pics!!

NOTE: I love this playlist to list some of my very favorite songs!!! obviously I can't list them all lol ..I did have 100 on here but my page was taking a bit to load and thought that may be the problem as well as some broken links so took out about 50 songs.. may add some back here and there and see how it goes... you can look down in music to see who some of my favorites are but even though I love a lot of the big name artists, most of my songs on my playlist are songs you don't hear everyday but songs I sooo love... .. one note pls don't think when you hear some of these songs that "dreams of dying are best I ever had" etc etc lol there are some songs that reflect my feelings but I am not depressed and don't want to die lol Porcelain by Moby just love the music.. Mad World by Gary Jules love the music and the words although it is kind of a dark song lol I do however, believe we live in a "Mad World" from education, healthcare, war in Iraq, to the government, to wages, global warming, housing, poverty etc etc etc.. but don't get me started because that would be a full page in of itself lol I had 2 songs that I couldn't find Charleston Butterfly by Parov Stelar and Bella Donna by Legendary Pink dots and I finally figured out how to upload them to play on my project playlist so I am happy now!!! now if I could get kiss me by Sivan Shavit I would be even more happier! lol hopefully you enjoy my list of songs.. they are not your typical list of songs by your everyday artists but these are songs I listen to over and over and over and truly loveeeee I look for a good beat and sound.. kinda strange I know lol ^j^

Boy where do I start lol I am going to have to work on this part... so many things I love ..

I love beautiful pictures.. collecting things from Japan and other cultures... love Buddahs... I love going to the ocean and just staring out at the water.. it is so peaceful listening to the waves..my dream is to live on the beach or at least be able to go to it everyday which trust me I would lol ....

My favorite thing to do is make jewelry... it is so rewarding to be wearing a piece and someone say "where did you get that" and you answer.. I made it lol or to be walking somewhere and see a piece that you made on someone else.. like they loved that piece of jewerly enough to wear it out.. that is what makes me proud and love doing what I do.. same goes with a reading I do when I get such wonderful compliments and people come back to me over and over I know I am doing a good job.. when I do a reading or make jewelry I give it my all.. if I feel I can't then i won't do it... I love taking pictures.. I have over 14,000 saved lol As well as making jewelry I am starting to make some soaps, candles, oils, salts, also making treasure boxes, candle holders, etc.. I have all kinds of inventions in my head lol my brain never stops! lol I also started writing 3 children books but haven't finished them yet and I have wrote some songs .. its strange how the music, chorus, words, everything at once pop in my head lol I hope when my stress lessens and I get things under control and going in the right direction that I get to do more different things... I love variety ^j^
