About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Coffee & chat

I am a creative person who makes my living being creative and managing that whole process. By title I am a Marketing Director. I love electronics, and I try to keep up to date with hardware and software. I like to cook, so you can find me at the Farmer's Market or experimenting in the kitchen quite often. I also attend live comedy and sporting events and play lots of tennis. I am at a point in my life where I wonder what I can do to make a difference. (Something I never worried about in my twenties!). Or even just help other people would be nice. I get some opportunities to do these things through my church and my son's school. __________________________"Our lives become meaningless when we become silent about things that matter." --my favorite quote...know who said it?I have a dog named Mark, and the sweetest son in the universe. I like to take walks and hike in the Chattahoochee National Forest, which is right outside my front door. I like to hang out with friends and watch the Bulldogs play. I am writing a book about my life experiences and people I have known. My life has definitely not been rosey...so I am a big believer THAT... "Sometimes life gives you lemons", which means that I have been drinking lots of lemonade--(but I do not drink the koolaid)!We are alive, therefore we will die. This is the simplest, most obvious truth of our existence, and yet very few of us have really come to terms with it. _____________I BELIEVE..."You are a success when you are able to offer a strong hand to help others." _________________ “All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, dads, grannies and grandpas, aunts, uncles — someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next generation their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams.” -Colin Powell

the lesson goes back years and years

Intelligent women know that men will chase and stay forever with a woman who holds back and toys with him. Men do not marry or stay with women who give them everything they want. This lesson is clearl...
