Reading, Writing, Photography, Shopping (of course), Music, Traveling, and People. I love meeting new and interesting people. And if you can make me laugh I might have to ask you to marry me (jokey joke).

My mom is definitely my hero. She's such a strong women and such a caring and nurturing mother. When I was young I thought my mom was Super Woman, there was nothing she couldn't do or handle. I still feel that way. She's such a positive light in my life and she's always taught me the power of forgiveness by being a great example. My mom has been through so much, whether it's an illness or heartache she continues to push on. She's a fighter, quitting isn't in her vocabulary. Her heart is so big, she has a kind spirit even to those who have done her wrong. "Kill 'em with kindness" is her motto. She can easily move on and let go of disappointing situations. I wish I had that kind of strength. I love her more than words can say, she's the only person in this world that I completely trust. She's my best friend. I love you mom!!!!!
