My Interests

Don't Forget.. No matter what the number on a scale reads. No matter what the size of your clothing says, No matter the color of your skin. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
2 and a half years ago I was given a year to live... I had had a heart attack in May of 2003 and had already battled Cancer 3 times.. I had all the typical weight enduced medical problems, and I was dying from the inside out... I was 435 pounds and at the point where I had to use a machine when I slept.. I couldnt walk up 3 stairs without being totally exausted and having constant chest pains.. I was given 2 options... Either continue to live as I was and watch the quality of my life rapidly deteriorate and not be alive within a year, or take the chance and under go Gastric Bypass Surgery.. So I made the decision that I HAD to have this surgery for health reasons to stay alive.. I had the surgery and within the first week I lost 12 pounds,, by 6 months I had lost 125 pounds.. and I was no longer suffering from any of the medical problems that were once killing me.. I loved myself then and the only reason I had the surgery was to basically save my life.. What people that have this surgery fail to understand is that the weight loss DOES NOT get rid of emotional baggage it will still be there when the weight is gone.. One must learn to love themself whether they are 800 pounds or 100 pounds.. We need to learn as women to accept ourselves.. Perfection is NON EXISTENT.. Perfection is in the eyes of our loved ones, our children, our true friends... We as women need to stand tall and show society that we will no longer walk with our eyes lowered wearing baggy clothes ashamed of who We are.. We will stand tall, We will walk with our heads held HIGH... Our Shoulders Back.. And be proud to be Women that are not defined by the size of our clothes or the number on a scale.. Watch out WORLD... Because HERE WE COME!!!

NEVER FORGET.... No matter what size clothing you wear.... What the number on a scale says, what color your skin might be, or what language you speak.. YOU ARE, and ALWAYS WILL BE.....********** My son Tyler took these pictures of me September 27th 2006.

I have blogged my experience if you care to read it. Here is a little Photo montage I put together of my home or whats left of it, and the surrounding areas.Get Your Own! | View SlideshowI have NUMEROUS things I do for fun.. Doodling on paper is one of them.. All though I am far from the best I enjoy it emmensly. Thought I would share with ya:)I have numerous interests way to many to list here but to name a few... I love to write and have had a few things published and am working on my first book. I have been known though to be a horrible Typist.. My fingers seem to want to move faster than my brain wants them to, lol.. Request Karenese translation manuals via E-mail, lol *WINK* I love to travel.. I think that stems from being a Military brat and moving every 3 years.. My dad chose to stay over seas so I was blessed to be able to grow up among many different cultures. Another one of my passions is ART.. I love to draw mainly with pencil and charcol, it is a great way to express oneself and has a wonderful calming effect.. Yes I am an artsy type of person who loves people from all different cultures..************************************************** *** **************************************************

Music:

I absolutely LOVE music.. My tastes are very eclectic ranging from 80's to 50's, from Opera, to rock, from Asian, to African drums, from alternative to pop.. A little of everything. I taught dance for quite a while and am in love with Latin dance, and the music that comes along with it from Celia Cruz, to Hector lavoe, Luis Miguel, and I could keep going... I think its the passion that ooozes from Latin Music that draws me to it;)

Movies:

I am an avid Movie Collector...I love a good movie!!! Some of my favorites being "Somewhere In Time", "What Dreams May Come", and many more.. I love independant films as well. I am a huge Broadway fan, I adore the stage and everything that comes along with it.. Phantom of the Opera is one of my alllll time favorites. (I guess I need to thank my parents for getting me started in Drama at a very young age, lol)Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

Television:

Ok a flaw of mine.... I love reality Television, lol.. Yes I admit it.. I am hooked... Its the time where my Mother and I bond, lol.. Another good show I like is HOUSE, I think I just like the character of the smart ass doctor with the weird ways of figuring out whats wrong with the patient, lol.

Books:

Heroes:

Well I have a few heroes... The first being my youngest twin.. I was blessed with awesome kids.. All of them.. But one of my twins was dealt some health issues from birth and has over come so much.. He has had a total of 25 surgeries and is a CHAMP!!! To look at him you would have no idea this kid has been through so much but he has.. The lates surgery was 1 month ago on Jan 23rd where they operated on his spine and spinal cord.. Besides him wearing a brace to protect anyone from knocking his back you would have no idea its amazing how fast kids heal.. He tells me mom It's no worry all of this builds Character.. Hes 9 years old, lol.. He says to me.. "Momma Chicks dig scars" lol
