About Me

Well, golly, just what is it that you'd like to know?? Hmmm, to tell all "about me" in one little colored box, how to go about it? I'm me. I've always been me and I'm fairly certain that I always will be. I love life, music, literature, art, balance, and as is usually the result . . . happiness, above all else. Gee, I like anyone who knows who they are and sticks by their guns, no matter what the odds. I like to sing in the car, in the shower, at work, and in my sleep for all I know. I want to see the big picture. I love my messy, often hectic and complicated life because it's mine, all mine. I'm a very happy person. I know who I am yet I understand that I am not, right now, who I will be forever. I am passionate about equality and kindness, and I love learning. There you go. That's my box.

Ignorance is alive and well in Livingston Parish
