I am here for Friends

About Me

ABOUT MEHmmmm... Decided its time for an upgrade on this section, so here goes: I'm grown, educated, cultured, classy, beautiful inside and out, trustworthy, honest, genuine, humble, and giving. I am honored to be the mother of a beautiful, intelligent and talented 8 year old girl who changed my life the minute she was born. I'm a Christian and I put God first in my Life! He deserves all the Glory and the Honor for His grace and mercy and all my many blessings I have been given and will be given! I would be nothing without Him! I have a group of fabulous friends whom I love dearly, some a bit crazier than others but I love them just the same and would bend over backwards if they needed it, cuz I know they'd do the same. I’m half Sicilian and half Azorean and love my family!!! I'm currently finishing my last semester of Graduate school and will begin my internship in the fall of '08' I have this great need to help people deal with their issues so that they can accomplish their goals and dreams. It’s the nurturer in me. I’m close to becoming a therapist/school adjustment counselor so I can do just that. I want to do something that matters to the world, helping people to become whole and good members of society. I strive daily to live my life with integrity so that I can be the best person I can be. There is no excuse when you know right from wrong. I intend to demonstrate this to my daughter so she too can grow up and become a great influence to others. I dislike false people, liars, racism, sexism, hatred, ignorance, war, greed, the weak minded, hypocrites, people who are too lazy to wait until they see a trash can to throw trash away, abusers, idiots, people who don't vote then complain,dead beat fathers/mothers,and the list goes on... There is so much more that I want to do with my life and I believe they will all come to pass. I hope to travel around the world, own a villa in Northern Italy, learn more languages (fluent in Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish), and continue to help others change their lives, marry a wonderful God fearing man and have more beautiful children! I know that if I put God first, all else will fall into place, for He is a rewarder to those who diligently seek Him, Hebrews 11:6. I’m here to keep in touch with old friends and nothing more... So be grateful for what you have, strive to accomplish your goals, do not compromise any part of yourself for anything or any one, stay true to yourself, accept the good and discard the trash, persevere and never give up! Be blessed!I edited my profile at Free Christian MySpace Layouts , check out these Christian Myspace Layouts!

My Interests

Laying on the beach and basking in the sun, summers in Sicily and Terceira, family gatherings, enjoying my daughter, reading, enhancing my mind, school, dancing, writing, drawing, chilling with my close friends, talking to God, driving at night with the music blasting, windows down letting the warm breeze in, singing in the shower, hearing my dad tell stories, cooking for friends, reminiscing, looking at old photos, acting silly, long walks, late night phone calls about nothing, laughing, listening to the rain, reading old poems...
