Motto:  "Strive to make each day better than the day before."

Occupation:  Living

A proud 70's baby. Getting older (and hopefully wiser) is a beautiful thang. Love to laugh - smiling is the key to staying young. Have few friends but many associates. Outspoken with a shy side - contrary to what Lil Wayne says, guys like shy girls. :) I think I'm a nuturer - really try to be the best person I can be - just don't get on my bad side. It's not a pretty thing. I'm working on it, believe me I am. I'm a work in progress - constantly evolving (or trying to).
 
Likes: Kindness, honesty, determination, success stories, down-to-earth soldiers in this army called life, a child's laughter, useless banter with my girlfriends, SHOES

Dislikes: Liars, cheaters, selfishness, conceited folks, G. Bush (daddy & son), WAR (U.S. Out of Iraq NOW!!), scam artists, pork and its by products - YUCK!

Erykah Badu fan since forever. Baduizm is still on my playlist - the CD was a storyboard for my life (at the time). Lessons learned the hard way? Don't depend on anyone else to make you happy; time waits for no one; and learn to forgive yourself and others. Life is too short - enjoy every moment.

Enjoy spending time with my family & close friends, traveling, shopping, reading, mentoring.
