About Me

I'm married to a wonderful man who is also my very best friend. He is truly my soulmate. Can't beat that!

I'm from the Southside of the CHI. In 2006, I spent 8 months in London on a job assignment. Since then, I've visited Milan, Rome, Venice and Paris. I now consider myself a world traveler and can't wait to explore more cities, countries and culture.

Shoes are my weakness. To the point now that I have over 100 pairs of shoes, neatly stacked in clear shoeboxes. Yeah, I know it's a bit outta control...I need some serious intervention.

I absolutely LOVE MUSIC!!! I must say I don't know how I would survive without my IPOD and frankly, I don't know how I did before owning one. I dig any and all types of music but have a special love for Hip-Hop, House and Soul.

Not About Race or Religion...Just Humanity

Now that I am back in my "bookworm" mode, I have been reading a lot of books lately.  Being that I don't read fiction, these books tend to have a profound effect on me since I know they are writt...
