I can't wait for tomorrow...because I get COOLER everyday!!

About Me

I'm imperfect.
&
I like it.
I laugh, cry, smile, and frown.
I sing to myself sometimes.
I dance when I'm alone.
I write all the time.
I read when I can.
I have a fondness for anything green.
I have my beliefs and my doubts.
If I have an opinion, I'll share it.
Everyday, I'm faced with an opportunity to learn.
Everyday, I'm grateful for all that I have.
..but..
Everyday, I work for more.
I want to fall in love.
I want to get my heart broken.
I want to experience all that life has to offer.
I want to live life with faith.
&
there are days when I don't have any faith left.
"To each there comes a time in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to their own talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour."
-Sir Winston Churchill
