What's a Lady to do?

About Me

A very old soul, in a young-woman's body, who always asks the question, "Am I so passionate, that I'm destined to be with someone, or so passionate that I'm destined to be without?" Only God knows.....Raised around artist industry and wanted my mother to run away with any artist, musician or other misfit, in the hopes she would be happy.....I have great respect and passion for music, but can not sing, play, or carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on top....but gets it nonetheless...Worked for a photographer for five years, and only after quitting, discovered the beauty of my own work....I would rather write a letter, than send a e-mail or text message......My cat Viggo is the only male allowed in my bed......I hate religion but value my relationship with God as my most prized posession, thus said, I have a dark side that must be kept in check, at all cost......Prefer rainy nights to sunny days, ministry to monkey business, warm tea to black coffee, a love for fashion, but would just as soon be in blue jeans, make-up free and tank top....A phobia of beamed ceilings, but attracted to any man with a scar....I am most proud, that I know who I am, and am very comfortable in my own skin, resting in the knowledge that God is never letting go of me, and that is all the validation I need.Layout made by Deb

Television:

X-Files, American Idol, and anything from the BBC-Masterpiece Theatre, Mystery, etc....I've also been known to watch operas-with the volume down, so that I can focus on the actors, and how their body language relates to the character...the way their actions give being.

Books:

Currently reading...."His Rules" a book on God's idea of courtship, My "Women's Devotional Bible", "Once Upon a Time-Behind the Fairy-Tale of Princess Grace & Prince Rainier, " and every fashion magazine from "Vogue" to "Instyle" that I can get my hands on.

Heroes:

Jesus- He sees the depths of my heart, and still loves me the same....Also, Linda McCartney, the way she balanced the rock-n-roll lifestyle, yet never forgetting herself, amazes me....She was everything that she needed to be....and I strive to find that balance.....Nana-to those that know her, need I say more?.....My mom, sister and all the other amazing women that have taught me how to be a friend, wife, mother, servant and most importantly-a real woman of God...

A good day....

I have observed, quite often, in these times of  "rat race" movers and shakers, that when someone does ask the question, "How are you doing?" the common response tends to be negative......
