The hardest thing to do is remain conscious in an unconscious society

About Me

About me?I'm entering a new phase in my life starting with graduate school (to pursue a graduate degree in Women's Studies) and hopefully ending with me looking back with no regrets.-THERE ARE 4 things that would complete me, but I'm sure I won't see all of these things come to fruition until the afterlife 1.)Peace of Mind, Body, and Soul 2.) Love (found it in Matthew) 3.) Enlightenment 4.) Family *In no particular order-I AM most proud of my volunteer work during the hurricane Katrina catastrophe in Houston, Texas and my work as an advocate at the Houston Area Women's Center.-SOME MAY say I'm a philathropist and a feminist---and they're right!-I also take great pride in my writing and singing...like Eryka Badu says "I'm an artist, and I'm sensitive about my sh*t!" Therefore, when you read my writings (via blog entries) keep in mind this is what I do...this is who I am. I encourage all to SUBSCRIBE to my blogs for entertainment, inspritation and enlightenment.Also, make sure you check out my music page at WWW.MYSPACE.COM/TARASMUSICSPACE and hear my latest music...yup I sang too:)VOTE!!
