About Me

Let's see...hmmmmm...well, I live a wonderful life filled with family, friends, and lots of love! It's not perfect (thank God for the imperfections!), but it's mine and I appreciate and am thankful for it. Love music, film, great books, intellectually stimulating environments, good food, good people, positive energy, and good times. I laugh loud and often because life is short and no matter what, God is good :) My left eyebrow is always slightly raised (make of that what you will...) I work hard- I think complacency is wack. I'm a dreamer who has been blessed to be able to accomplish many of the starry-eyed visions that have danced across my imagination. I'm looking forward to meeting the new dreams that await me. All Glory and Honor to God!!!
