I'm a happy MOTHER of baby boy Mikel Valentino. He was born on Mother's Day. He's my special GIFT FROM GOD. I have a wonderful FAMILY whom I love very much and I am very close to. My parents are the BEST in the world. I am proud of ALL my sisters and brother. I LOVE TO SHOP - especially for SHOES. I'm a PEFECTIONIST who recently came to the REALIZATION that it's okay when not everything is how I want it to be. LIFE IS TOO SHORT to stay angry or sad. I've overcome a GREAT HEARTACHE that has taught me a lot about who I am and who I don't want to be. I work hard and expect everyone else to. To me there are NO EXCUSES, just room for improvement. I am always hardest on myself first. ACCOUNTABILITY is a standard not an expectation. The GOOD always outweighs the bad. I am a FIRM BELIEVER in Christ, our Lord and he is my BEST FRIEND. I believe in the POWER OF PRAYER (I would not make it otherwise). I am not a fan of quitters or lazy, inconsiderate, selfish people who blame everything on everyone else and think the world revolves around them. They are a WASTE OF MY TIME and would rather keep them at a distance. I LOVE PEOPLE who LOVE LIFE and all it has to offer. I love being INSPIRED. I get most of my inspiration from EVERYDAY PEOPLE who have a BRIGHT VISION and BIG HEART. I think CHANGE IS IMPORTANT and constant. You can't expect to get the same results doing the same over and over. It is important to THINK OUT OF THE BOX and change things up a bit. Be ADVENTUROUS. There is MORE REWARD IN GIVING than receiving. I am AMBITIOUS - a definite go-getter. I am a planner. I like to SET GOALS. It crucial to put steps in place so that I know what it is I am working towards. I'm a workaholic who enjoys doing what I do. I like to HAVE IT ALL - the career and the family. I don't require all the riches in the world, just those that come from the heart and are INTANGIBLE.
