About Me

To sum up a person in a little white block is to truncate the complexity of them. We are all about so much because so much of what we like and dislike, what we have done and will do, constantly help us to evolve. Who we are today is not who we will be tomorrow. If you want to know about me today. I am the oldest of five beautiful sisters and one brother. Our lives are vastly different from each other but we are linked by our childhood and the roads to which we travelled from there. My father is dead; he died of a stroke from diabetes when he was 58, I say he died of meanness for he was the meanest sonofabitch I have ever known.
CHILDREN: I have never had children but I have been raising my niece since she was eight, she will be 13 soon. Raising a child is hardest thing I have ever done in my life.
WORK: My work takes me around the globe. I feel fortunate that I have been able to see many parts of the world. This is an amazing little ball we sit upon friends.POLITICAL: Liberal
CONCERNS: The environment and global warming issues are of grave concern to me. An Evangelical Christian told me last week that they do not give environmental issues or global warming a second thought because they know that they are going to heaven. WHAT! How can one say that and truly believe in a creator? Would you not think that part of your responsibility as a Christian is to do everything in your power to save this beautiful gift (the planet)? Are you really content on skating along ignorantly immersed in the belief that just because you are "saved", you are now absolved of environmental responsibility? With that line of thinking, you won't see me in your church!
ADVICE: Read Books. If you can speak and write, you can do anything. ..
