Destiny grants us our wishes, but in it's own way ... in order to give us something beyond our wishe

About Me

Shekoli! I'm a member of the Oneida Nation of the Thames. Our settlement is in Ontario, Canada just south of London but I was born and raised just outside of Detroit, MI.

Always smiling ... always laughing and giggling ... or so everyone says. Attitude is everything!
I appreciate anyone who sends me an email. Please don't take it personally if I don't reply, I'm just focused on other things in my life right now. Best wishes to everyone!

My Interests

The Outdoors. Camping. Swimming. Rollerblading. Traveling. Pow Wow's. Laying by the Pool. Playing Sports. Watching Sports. Reading. Jewelry Making. Scrapbooking. Watching Movies. Listening to Music. Fast Cars. Motorcycles. Dancing. Hanging out with Friends. Learning New Things.

I'd like to meet:

Honestly, I'm on here to keep in contact with friends and family up north (Michigan, Ohio & Canada), to get back in touch with some old friends and to chat with new friends, most of which reside in GA & NC lately. :)

Music:

I like all music it just depends on the mood I am in.

Movies:

I love watching movies. Blockbuster by mail rocks!

Television:

I don't watch a lot of television actually. I haven't had cable in over a year. *gasp* I couldn't even tell you what is on right now but when I do sit down in front of the tube I like to watch CSI, Pinks, Ultimate Fighter, Overhaulin, Monster Garage and So You Think You Can Dance. I like the Discovery and Speed Channels, TLC, Comedy Central and Spike TV. Of course I love to watch sports ... basketball being my number one and football being the number two.

Books:

I love to read. I'm a big supporter of the local library. I just roam the aisles looking for a cool title, read the summary and if I like it add to the check out pile.Here are some of my favorite quotes: "Laugh lots so when you are old your wrinkles will be in all the right places.""Be who you are & say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter & those who matter don't mind.""Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring - all of which have the potential to turn a life around.""It's easy enough to be pleasant when everything goes like a song, but the person who is worthwhile, is the person who can smile when everything goes dead wrong.""Don't look for love; give love - and you will find love looking for you!"

Heroes:

My sister ~ her time on earth may have been short, but it was full.Live each day like it was your last. No regrets ~ only life lessons.

Why Not Now?

The time we are blessed with is limited and tends to be used up all too quickly. How we utilize that time is consequently one of the most important decisions we make. Yet it is far too easy to put off...
