About Me

So much has changed since I first created this page over a year ago. I now live and love NY, west Harlem to be exact. The love/hate relationship I have with this city is making me a better person everyday, or atleast I hope it is...lol. I work hard and expect a lot from myself, but i'm starting to work harder and expect even more. My focus has changed a little bit since I first got on this site. Now i'm all about balance in my life (which to some degree it was then too, but with maturity some things change). GOD and that relationship is number one; even when I feel extremely lost and frustrated I know he's there and things will get better. Establishing myself as an even better and more well-rounded person is at the top of my list of priorities. I'm focusing on writing and branghing out from there, so we'll see how that continues to go. I know it won't go anywhere but up!I workout hard and have seen a drastic change...you may notice from some of the pics ;-)I work hard to maintain a healthy living style in NY, if i didn't this city would eat me alive.Thank GOD for my great friends and family...all over the country...

Bonded to another by the love of GOD!

When God places someone in your life be thankful and let them know. When another human being is an answer to a prayer that you've prayed; praise GOD and share with them the gift that they are to you....
