About Me

girls layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments

Hello! My name is Shayna. I am originally from the Boston area.. and have been living in Florida for about 5 years.
I have two beautiful daughters, 2 wonderful Sons-in-law that I love as if they were my own and 4 amazing grandchildren! Since they still live in the Boston area, I miss them more than I can say, but I do attempt to visit as often as possible. If I was able to bring the best of my life here....the warmth and my home that I love.... back to Boston.....I would certainly have the best of both worlds. Economically, it's easier to survive here....than there, at least for now.
I'm in the Mortgage/Banking field and I am also a Web Designer, Writer and the Author of 2 books, "If there Were No Dreams" and "Share A Dream With Me." My 3rd book is a work in progress.
I am a woman who has her own sets of views and opinions on a variety of topics.

This is my new friend and probably the closest I will get to having the "real thing" in this lifetime....but then again....one never knows what tomorrow will bring:)

My Interests

The song that is playing, is dedicated to my Brother-in-law Michael who passed away. He will forever remain in my heart!

I love to read and could probably read a good book in a day, if I had the time. I love getting immersed with the characters and sometimes think about their situation and how it will work out, during the course of the day. The sad part? When a book that you wish would go on forever, ends,...as you turn the last page.

It's a strange thing about Writers. We tend to worry when we get in what we call a "dry period" from time to time. The more you try to write, the less it happens. I learned a long time ago, to just let go for a while, because it's amazing how as soon as I become inspired, the words just flow from my thoughts on to the paper and voila".....the dry spell has ended....that is until the next time:) lol
Writing is one of the loves of my life and is very important to me.

Though not of Native American descent, I have been adopted as a "Sister in Spirit." I feel a definite kindred and spiritual connection

I have a web site that I believe is truly a reflection of who I am and would love for you to visit, when time permits. My writings are about love, friendship, inspiration, our brave Men and Women in the Military(past and present) and Native Americans. The name of my web site is: Shayna's Pages Created With Love and the address is: http://www.angelfire.com/ma/shayni/links3.html

I'd like to meet:

That's a very interesting question. There are two people that I've spoken with online since 1998. We've shared so many things together.....weddings, births, deaths, day to day events and it would be so nice, just to see them face to face....to smile and see their smile and to give a nice warm hug, to thank them for being there for me over the years.
I know this will probably sound strange...not to me, but to you:) I'd like to meet George Foreman, so we could share a hamburger and I could get a great big hug. Don't ask, but those who know me well, know I'm serious about this...very very serious!..lol

Music:

I listen to all genres of music....from Country, Smooth Jazz, to Easy Listening and Native American flute music. I absolutely adore Barry Manilow!!

Movies:

An Affair To Remember with Cary Grant & Deborah Kerr, When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless In Seattle, You've Got Mail, The Mirror Has Two Faces and who doesn't like Dirty Dancing:)

Television:

American Idol, Hell's Kitchen, Big Brother,Survivor, House, Las Vegas, Food Network channel, Discovery channel, Lifetime and WE

Books:

I am an avid Reader and I have many favorites. Barbara Taylor Bradford, Cynthia Freeman and my new favorite Author is Nancy Thayer, who writes the "Hot Flash Club" series.

Heroes:

My Parents. My Mom was my best friend. I could talk to her about anything. All I had to say to her was: Put yourself in the "Friend" mode instead of being Mom and she was always there for me. My Dad worked hard every day of his life to provide us with a roof over our head and put food on the table. He was the kindest and most gentle Man you could ever meet. I was blessed to have both as parents and I miss them very much!
