About Me

"CHOOSE YOUR LOVE WISELY. LOVE YOUR CHOICE ALWAYS." -------------------*------- "Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner's manual your creator gave you, & destroying your design."-Oprah Winfrey -------*--------- THERE ISN'T MUCH ELSE THAT MAKES ME FEEL AS PRETTY AS WHEN A GUY OPENS UP A DOOR FOR ME! ---------*-- --------- "Above all, I craved to seize the whole essence, in the confines of one single photograph, of some situation that was in the process of unrolling itself before my eyes." Henri Cartier-Bresson ------------------- LAUGHTER IS SUCH A GOOD MEDICINE, AND IT BRINGS US TO A GREAT PLACE WITH PEOPLE...OURSELVES! "LAUGH LIKE NO ON IS WATCHING, AND WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU, LAUGH LOUDER!" --------------- "Braiding your hair doesn't make you beautiful. Wearing gold jewelry or fine clothes doesn't make you beautiful. Instead, your beauty comes from inside you. It is the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. Beauty like that doesn't fade away. God places great value on it. This is how the holy women of the past used to make themselves beautiful. They put their hope in God." I Peter 3:3-5 -----------**---------MORE ABOUT ME............ I love my big (and still growing) family. Spending time with them is one of my favorite things to do. Lots of Red hair in my family, and I’m proud to say that I’m one of them. :) I love that my testimony is that I've been a Christian practically my whole life and I'm still doing my best at keeping it real. I graduated from Oral Roberts University in December 05 - Business Management...good times, awesome times, wouldn't trade them for anything in the world - found me, found Jesus, found some awesome friends that I know will be around forever, and some great memories that will live with me always. *****YOU CAN EITHER BE HELD CAPTIVE AS A PRISONER BY YOUR THOUGHTS OR CHOOSE TO USE THEM AS A CATALYST FOR CHANGE & A SOURCE OF IMPACTING POSITIVELY THOSE WITHIN YOUR INFLUENCE!***** This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to just stay in contact with so many amazing people that I have encountered in my life - and i think that this would be a good way of doing that (I've been encouraged by some darlings to take this route). I wouldn't mind meeting some new people too I guess...I'm not looking for a new best friend, or a husband...just camaraderie with some real people. ..
