About Me

Where do I start?............ I'm intense, I make people laugh, I'm positive, I'm a peacekeeper who likes to shake things up, I'm a little crazy, I'm very spiritual, I'm FUN, I'm making a difference.....My fortune cookie usually reads something like, "You make people happy!" or "You have a dynamic personality." OK, OK, OK!!!! So, It's taken me 35 years to realize that I was put on this earth to make people smile, to help others to realize their potential, to keep positivity flowing in this crazy fucked up world!!I see myself as a positive force in this crazy universe. I like to make people laugh but at the same time think. I have strong views on the world and the way that people operate. I am very tolerant and preach tolerance!! I am always trying to keep the peace, but at the same time, I question EVERYTHING!! I can argue all sides of an issue. This is a blessing and a curse!I believe that everything happens for a reason. There are no coincidences. We must all face ourselves in the mirror each day and ask ourselves, "do I like what I see (I'm talking about on the inside!), do I like what I stand for?"Face the past, as well as, the future. Own up to your experiences, be they mistakes, triumphs, or otherwise. We're not all always happy with what we've done in the past, but it is what it is. Get over it, recognize it, learn from it, and move on, is my moto!! Life is too short not to have fun!!! It's hard not to get caught up in your own shit. Don't forget to look around at what others are going through. You can learn a lot from this.Remember....You can keep sweatin' the small stuff, but in the end, what really matters is, did I enjoy my life, did I learn from others, did I learn from myself? No regrets!!!

Thanksgiving.  I am not sure what I think of how this holiday truly came about.  I don't agree with the violent take over of any civilization.  However, none of us can deny what it has ...

A little over a year later...........

Yes, we take our past experiences, paste them into the scrapbook of our minds, and occasionally open it up to take a look.  Don't judge what you see.  Take from it what will push you forward...

What I'm thinking about today........

I'm thinking about the past..........about what I've learned, where I've come from, and who I've left behind.  Life presents itself to us in interesting ways.  The choices we make are everyt...
