Life is a beautiful struggle...

About Me

I am a single-mother & Hip-Hop Head... I love creating-whether it's art, dance, poetry, music, jewelry, food, clothes, or just ideas in general. I love to: feel mud squish thru my toes, dance in the rain, cuddle with my son & kitty cat, and I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE to cook (as well as eat!)... Most would call me an idealist... i'd like 2 be a realist... meanin the ideal IS real... I'm just tryin to make my reality what I really want it to be.... purging out the drama & negativity & replacing the sadness I once felt with contentment & laughter
Your Love is Based on Commitment
You believe that love is something that develops and grows.
You don't believe in love at first site, and you never mistake lust for love.
For you, love is about mutual devotion, respect, and understanding.
You don't feel comfortable in a relationship, unless you're both in it for the long run.
Why your love can last: You don't take commitment lightly - or leave relationships easily
Why your love can fail: You're so committed, you often can't see the most obvious problems in your relationship What Is Your Love Based On?

My Interests

JUSTICE, EQUALITY, LOVE, & HIP HOP, Dancin, writin, singin, makin jewelry, sewing, drawing, cookin, kickin it...justice, love, alternative healing, water, RAIN, stars (the ones in the sky), music, beauty, balance, fairness, EQUALITY, mud squishing between my toes, cuddling, kissing (tho not EVERYONE...I'm picky about that one... just my baby & my man when I have one), pink, brown, blue, pistachio green is REALLY cool 2 me at the moment, ELEPHANTS, kitty cats, clean warm fresh towels, persian & indian foods, dred locks are SO cool, clean skin, pictures, pilates (when baby allows it), and of course playin wit my beeeeeeeautiful baby boy!!!!
You are a Believer
You believe in God and your chosen religion.
Whether you're Christian, Muslim, Baha'i, Jewish, or Hindu..
Your convictions are strong and unwavering.
You think your religion is the one true way, for everyone. What's Your Religious Philosophy?

Your Five Variable Love Profile
Propensity for Monogamy:

In relationships, you need both "me time" and "we time."

Your EQ is 133
50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!
51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.
150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar. What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?
