My Prince Charming....
"Soul mates are friends and loved ones who are responsive to your love, and with whom you are deeply connected and share a common path and purpose. Your soul mate may be someone who has come to be with you and learn similar lessons. Or, it can be someone who has come to assist you in your spiritual growth by showing you more about yourself and offering you ways to open your heart. A soul mate can be someone who is connected to you from other lifetimes and with whom you are continuing a well-developed past-life relationship. Or, this may be your first lifetime together on earth.
Most people have more than one soulmate. A soul mate can come in the form of a life partner, treasured friend, child, or LOVER. A soul mate can be someone with whom you share a spiritual path or a joint work in the world."MOSTLY-

Music:
I am usually very open minded when it comes to music, I will listen to pretty much anything Rock, Pop, R&B...If I had to point out certain singers I would have to say I really enjoy listening to anything by Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood & Katharine McPhee more into the Pop scene. I also am a huge fan of Oldies Music mostly 50's, 60's and 80's music. I am also a big fan of the Classic Oldies and Entertainers as well..(so many to mention but you get the point.) I also love my Broadway Show Tunes (obviously) being the theatre geek I am.
Movies:
Oh Gosh I would get such a headache if you made me mention all the movies I liked. I am such a movie freak and that is why I have too many damn DVDS...ha ha! Anyway, let me break it down into categories instead. I LOVE the Movie Musicals 40's, 50's & 60's...and if I named them all I would have a headache), Disney Movies-(especially my Disney Princess movies & Enchanted ha ha), Romantic Comedies, Classical Movies, Horror Movies, Time Travel Movies, Science Fiction Movies....you get the point however I am not gonna list them all..if you wanna know specifics just ask.
Television:
Mostly I enjoy watching Smallville, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, American Idol, America Next Top Model, Dancing with the Stars and VHI reality shows is on my list of shows I can not miss these days. However, I used to love watching old re-runs of Little House on the Prairie, Saved by the Bell(icluding the College Years), Boy Meets World, The Simpsons, Friends, Will and Grace, Night Court, Step by Step, Cheers, Roseanne, Full House, Dawson's Creek, 90210, Melrose Place, Family Matters and anything on T.V. Land or Nick at Night.
Books:
Wait are you really supposed to read after high school? Ha ha...just kidding well mostly I love reading Child Development books due to the fact that I am a teacher and work with children. I also love reading biographies on famous people, play scripts and romance novels are the best being the hopeless romantic that I am.
Heroes:
I have many heroes! My parents are my main heroes...why because first my dad inspired me to perform in theatre many years ago and I have loved it ever since. I have been performing & singing since I can remember...LOL however I have been performing on stage for only about 14 years now...I think I started when I was 10 years old. My mom is also my hero because has and will always there for me when I need her...she is my rock. My sister inpires me everyday...she is my best friend. I also have to give a quick shout out to Walt Disney because he invented the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH...am I wrong? HA HA! Also I made a slide show of musical entertainers or movie performers who have unfortunately passed away. These performers truly inspired me growing up and I loved watching them do what they did best. Some were taken way too soon. May they all rest in peace!
