About Me

My family and friends mean the world to me. I trust God when I have questions about things in my life that need answers. Music is my passion. I love to sing and play guitar. I love the beach, I love city lights, thunderstorms, movies, dancing...living my life to the fullest extent. I thrive on positive energy and I surround myself with people who feel the same way. I'm a decent talker but a much better listener. I love to write. I love learning new things. I don't take anything in my life for granted, and I think it's important to love everything and everyone within your reach. I'm an eternal optimist, a hopeless romantic and a dreamer, and I take my life one day at a time...
