About Me

|Layout by Jasmine |
MySpace LayoutsSingle mommy of twins enjoying life. I am 23 years old. I take no crap! I speak my mind..you'll never wonder what I'm thinking I work hard! I play harder! I love even harder! I am a huge Jaguars fan... since the beginning... win or loose! I love my daughters more than life itself! I love Jacksonville. I love to laugh! I love most aspects of my life! I love my friends! I love God! I love me! I love children! I enjoy the serenity of nature. I appreciate intellectual conversation. I think a person's eyes are the windows to their soul. I believe that true love exists. I believe that it's possible to forgive and forget. I believe complete happiness is attainable. I believe that you can be successful without compromising yourself or your beliefs. I believe that we are all predestined to greatness. I believe that we all have a calling on our lives. I believe that money CAN be the root of all evil. I believe that we have more than ONE soul-mate in this world. I believe that drugs and violence are destroying our generation as well as future generations. I believe that our generation can positively change the course of the next generation. I believe that the tongue is most powerful weapon you possess. I believe that it is possible for one person to change the world. I believe that it is our responsiblity to protect the children. I believe that it is important to raise families as a community. I believe that there is a purpose and plan for everything we go through. I believe that God can heal all hurt. I believe that He can mend shattered hearts. I believe that He sent His son to set us free. I believe that He will use each of us to change the world... if we let Him. I believe the saying: "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." I believe that everyday is a gift. I believe that the little things you do have a major effect in another's life so NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF YOUR ACTIONS. I am enjoying this stage of my life. I am returning to school in January... as I should have several semesters ago. However, we all do our own thing in our own time. I am loving my job. I am trying to appreciate every seemingly insignificant moment in my life. As I mentioned before, I am single and have been so for several years. I felt the need to step back from relationships once I got pregnant. There were some areas of my life that I REALLY needed to sit back evaluate and fix before I even thought about moving forward. I didn't think it would take me more than 3 years to do it but now I think that I'm at a point where I am emotionally ready to step back in the dating arena. So... enough about me, tell me about you.

You Are Jasmine!

Independent and adventurous. You don't want much; just to break out of the guilded cage society has put you in and experience life to the fullest. Following orders isn't really one of your strong points, and you would rather live a life of poverty than being forced into something that you hate.

It's a book of almost all if not all of the speeches done by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. You think that the I Have A Dream Speech is powerful... wait till you read some of these. My favorite is the one he did at the funeral for the four little girls killed in the church bombing.
