About Me


.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Favorable circumstances may be pleasant, but they rarely strengthen one's character. The greater the person, the greater the adversity he or she has overcome. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I can't stand to lie..so don't ask me to* and your not fooling anyone but yourself if you think folks don't see through them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I' ve been deemed empathetic by those who recognize and those who just know. As with anything, TRUST your gut- protect yourself- and MOVE ON if need be.I'm grateful for the lessons learned, especially having the great fortune of knowing so many such wise souls... Not to mention countless friends and "family" all over the country and beyond...most connected by an amazing common passion, The Friesian Horse. Most of whom I'd otherwise never have known if it weren't for Thijs. The friends and chosen family here in AL. If it weren't for you guys...earlier this year would have been absolutely intolerable. You've gone WAY above and beyond simple friendship...my loyalties lie with you forever on! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..

....the greatest experiences are realizing and understanding the gifts given, taking with you the lessons and moving FORWARD in a positive direction... also knowing the fact that no one can hurt you...unless YOU give them permission. Never give anyone that permission... trust me, you'll be tested from time to time. Don't let it get to ya...roll with the punches baby..it's off to bigger better things! :)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Constan tly evolving and growing ( shouldn't we all be?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you must convince someone your real and not a joke... don't waste your time...talk is cheap..especially when the pieces don't fit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I will defend, protect, and stand by the side of my friends/loved ones in need. I expect the same in return from the true ones..but would never ask them to do so.
MyHotComments
*Extremely independant* but TOTALLY appreciates a gentleman and nice gestures. I never forget the TRUE acts of kindness and always eternally thankful when friends go out of their way for me. I believe in "Paying it Forward" and following your heart to do something good.....and never EXPECTING ANYTHING in return. I have a live and let live philosophy..but, if you don't like the way I live.. there's really only two options..either get past it or simply move on. We'll both be just fine! :)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IN ALL AFFAIRS OF LIFE, AT EVERY MOMENT,WE HAVE A CHOICE. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
