I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I really REally REALly REALLY love to SING...singing is truly my passion. I love writing lyrics and ministering to people through song (www.myspace.com/singblackgirl). I'm a country girl who enjoys meeting new people and establishing HEALTHY, WHOLESOME relationships and friendships. I believe in saying "I'm sorry"..and working towards healing, restoring, repairing and saving relationships that NEED to be saved. I believe in learning how to grow in difficult and challenging seasons of life and friendships. I believe that certain friendships are for a season and then God gives grace to move on. I have learned to believe that when a door closes and doesn't open, God will give strength to trust that he has something better that is specifically designed for you. I believe that if there are those who can exit your life, then it was for a purpose that they did...and if they should never re-enter..then it was for a purpose that they didn't. I believe in forgiveness and loving those who hurt me and forgiving myself for those I have hurt. I believe along with time, God can heal all emotional wounds. I believe that one does not have to be a victim of their past. I believe that weeping only endures for a night, then in the morning-JOY will come. I believe in the Golden Rule-treat others, the way that you desire to be treated. I pretty much stay "On The Go"-busy doing the things that I love to do. I love children too-I'm gonna have some of my own one day..and when I do..they'll be moving around, traveling and enjoying life with me as well. Another one of my passions, is modeling-I truly love fashion and I enjoy being in front of the camera and taking great pictures. Pictures that have meaning, LIFE and energy. I've evolved into a "go getter"...I've learned to not wait on anybody to give me anything, but rather to trust fully in God and to pursue him and eventually he will grant me the things that he wants to be in my life. I'm striving to stretch my wings and do more with my acting abilities and hopefully land some great roles (commercials/film/theater/stage plays/musicals/broadway) in the future. I truly like helping people and making people laugh and I have learned over the years how to LISTEN to others and not always have an opinion about how someone should be living their life. I am a Christian who loves my Lord and Savior-Jesus Christ...I ain't ashamed of him 'cause he's done so much for me....So wherever he takes me- MTV, BET, LA, NY, Chicago, ATL, Miami, etc...I'm definitely going to give him his props for giving me purpose in and on my journey to my destiny! Oh yeah, I'm trying to hit up Milan, Italy, Paris, Japan, Africa as well..so I'll throw those countries in there (smile). I wanna be BIG for God-doing great things...4 him...My goal is not selfish-but to use my gifts and talents to be happy, joyful and fulfilled and to also allow others to benefit from my successes as well.
