About Me


Walk taller, think higher, be better!
------------------------------------------------
Diamond Brownridge
Above is a picture of Diamond Brownridge. (She passed away last year from a fatal sedation at the dentist) I attended her homegoing service this evening which was the most beautiful celebration I've ever been a part of. It really saddens me that such a beautiful little angel slipped right out of our hands, but I know that now she is in the Best Hands.

Me and my Mommy! (Aug '06)
My Mom is my biggest supporter, hands down. She is the reason I'm me...I am so grateful that she always kept me safe. I love you Mom.

My 28th Birthday Celebration!

-----------------------------------------------------------
Today is Friday, June 3, 2006 and it such a beautiful day.
I don't know why, but I'm feeling really encouraged today.
Maybe because the sun just refused to let the rain stick around for too long today....or maybe because I saw a 5 minute clip of Oprah's Legends Ball that almost had me jumping out of my seat at work today ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=QOLlFsj8sso&search=patti%20le lle ) ....or maybe because I stopped by my Aunt's house after work and saw 3 couples on their way to prom and my heart melted b/c they all looked so beautiful and happy.
Ok so about me....obviously, I'm a GIRLIE girl (did you happen to notice the pink layout)? I love a good romance (The Notebook), I love being pampered, and I absolutely love PERFUME!
-----------------------------------------------------------
