What would we do without us?

About Me

Finally being me; happy; goofy; confident...yet sometimes unsure and loving it; beautiful; mother; sister; child; wife; friend; confidant; student; quiet wonderful dawns; brilliant red sunsets; wanna be world traveler; radiant; sensitive; sappy; fiercely loyal; loving; stubborn... beautifully and wonderfully made!!!
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of GOD. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of GOD that is within us. All of us. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandella
“…Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.” Matthew 11:27-28 (MSG)
"Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something"- Plato
"We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope."-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."-T. Roosevelt
"Once you are real you can't be ugly except to people who don't understand."-The Velveteen Rabbit

My Interests

I am excited about reconnecting with old friends, making new friends, and building on those friendships. I have found in my life that the only thing that matters is how I feel about my life and who I allow in it... and everyone else are just passers by. My husband is my best friend... when I am with my family, I am most peaceful.
