Kim-Believing in a Cure for Childhood Cancer!

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


I am Kim Salopek (formerly Kim Cuppett) aka Kimmy Pie (by my hubby) or Kimothy (alot of family members call me Kimothy). I am a very strong Christian (Southern Baptist), and proud to be a Child of God, and a Daughter of the King! I am wife to Daniel Paul Salopek, my very loving and devoted husband of 22 years (August 3, 1985), blessed mother of two very beautiful, amazing teenage daughters (Kristin, age 19 and Kaitlyn, age 15, homeschool teacher, and a gourmet scented soy candle distributor (please email me if interested or visit my website at http://www.scentedsoydreams-scent-team.com. I also have two sponsored, adopted children ~ a 14 year old girl named Alejandra in Bolivia, South America, and a 20 year old orphaned boy named Suala in Ghana, Africa. I am praying that in the near future, God will bless our family financially and spiritually to sponsor more needy children! I am currently working on raising money for childhood cancer, the very first Kayla Weber Believe Foundation of Colorado Springs, CO Fundraiser "Make Change for 2008". This fundraiser began 1/1/08 and will end 9/30/08. September happens to be Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. I am also the Co-Leader for Team Kayla Virginia Chapter, a childhood cancer awareness myspace website. Please join me at http://www.myspace.com/teamkaylava to help, fight, pray and believe that a cure will be found asap (always say a prayer). Thank you! Please also buy some of my angel wing scented soy candles to help with this very important Kayla Weber cancer fundraiser, as I will generously donate 20% profit of each candle sold to this very worthwhile organization. I am also a pro-life advocate for the precious unborn, and am very strongly against abortion! I also hope to someday be a counselor/volunteer for a pregnancy crisis center. I also would love being a volunteer at a nursing home someday in the future. I love paying it forward! I love the beach, camping, traveling, Christian music, rock music (I am a major fan of Dan Fogelberg, Def Leppard, the Eagles, Styx, and Led Zeppelin), oldies 50s and 60s music, going to church, volunteering for The Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child every Christmas at a local church/distribution center (this our family's 3rd year of volunteering), being a witness for Christ by being His hands and feet, and serving Him in any way that I possibly can, going to concerts, scrapbooking, my gourmet scented soy candles that I sell, kittens/cats, puppies/dogs, and lots of other "cute" animals, movies, romantic candlelit dinners with wine, taking long walks on the beach, bubble baths, jacuzzis, going to the mall, cooking, reading, swimming, body surfing, boogie boarding, meeting people and visiting friends. I also am a pescatarian (a vegetarian who eats fish, for those of you who do not know what it is). I also firmly believe in herbal/holistic medicines (as I take many different varieties of herbs) vs.presciption drugs (as they have so many harmful side effets) and I also happen to be a 1974 graduate of Frank W. Cox High School in Virginia Beach, VA. Any other Cox alumni out there?

"May the trail rise up to meet youMay your heart rejoice in songMay the skies be fair above you As you journey ever on" - DAN FOGELBERG (RIP DAN, I REALLY MISS YOU)
AN INTERPRETATION OF "LEADER OF THE BAND" BY DAN FOGELBERG! "An only child, alone and wild...a cabinet maker's son (Jesus Christ's father was a carpenter)...He left His home and went His lone and solitary way. And He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay." Jesus Christ gave His life for us. We can never repay Him. THANK YOU, DAN FOGELBERG FOR TELLING OTHERS ABOUT JESUS THROUGH YOUR AMAZING, LEADER OF THE BAND" SONG! HIS SONG "LEADER OF THE BAND" ALWAYS REMINDS ME OF MY FATHER, RICHARD L. CUPPETT WHO SADLY PASSED AWAY ON JUNE 25, 1984. HE WAS AN AMAZING, CHRISTIAN DAD, AND HE WAS A LEADER OF THE BAND (HIGH SCHOOL BAND DIRECTOR OF MANY YEARS!!
"Sometimes where you're going isn't as important as the places you have been." -Richard L. Cuppett (R.I.P. DAD!) I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, AND CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN ONE SWEET DAY!
“At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away.”-Meredith Grey
"If God is the DJ, then Life is the dance floor; Love is the rhythm, and You are the music." - Unknown

Heroes:

My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is my REAL,TRUE hero! The many heroes from the tragic day of Sept. 11, 2001. and the 32 VA Tech angels who lost their lives needlessly on April 16, 2007 very sadly are heroes, too. Miss Mila Casie Phillips "Sunshine", a two and a half year old beautiful girl who very bravely battled with cancer and gained her angel wings on 6/18/07 is definitely a hero, and Miss Kayla Weber, a 15 month old beautiful baby girl who also bravely battled with neuroblastoma cancer gained her angel wings on 12/02/07 is definitely a hero, too. I do not want to forget Sweet Angel Girl, Jenessa Nicole Byers "Boey" either, who sadly lost her battle with cancer on December 28, 2007, as she gained her angel wings and flew to Heaven to meet her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! She was only 8 years old, and what a brave fighter she was! We love you, and we will NEVER forget you, Boey! Our firefighers and police officers are definitely major heroes, too, and I pray that God will keep them all safe! Last but not least, our troops definitely and truly are brave and dedicated heroes! May God bless them all, and watch over them always!
