I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a patient, sensitive and easily amused person who prefers substance over style. I like to laugh and find happiness in the simple things. I truly believe the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart."Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil,but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. Love never fails." --I Corinthians 13 : 4 - 8"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."
