GLAD YOU CAME TO VISIT!

About Me

I am just a soul searching for knowledge, for inspiration, for the understanding of self and humanity. I love to photograph the places I go, people I see, whatever or wherever my surroundings are. I'm putting up a "MySpace" page for viewing my photography here: Carolyn's PhotographyI've also run karaoke for over 13 years now at three different places in the local Peoria area. I am currently looking for a new place to do that. I want to find a local place to do that, however I hear that no one can find a good place in Chicago to do karaoke. I'm from Chicago and have family and friends there, maybe I oughta show that town how to do it right! I have a beautiful daughter who makes me proud. She graduated in May from SIU with a bachelors in psychology. She is in Lawrence, Kansas getting her masters. She was accepted in the doctorate program at Western University of Michigan. She'll have a Phd. in psychology. We're so proud! She also takes care of her three bunnies and a cat to keep her company.Jon and Amber are getting married 06/07/08. We're all excited about that! Wedding plans are going smoothly! The things that inspire me are nature, especially running water from a creek, river, lake or ocean. Also the Art Institute of Chicago, I love that place! Sometimes I find inspiration in every day little things."With one breath, with one flow, you will know synchronicity" Sting"Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind..."

Heroes:

To me a hero is someone who inspires humanity to be better than we are. They do this in their own unique creative way using words, music, paint, action, with love and selflessness. We all have it inside ourselves to be heros. We need to be heros for each other.
