How to describe me? I’m a little bit country…and I’m a
little bit rock ‘n roll. I like the simple pleasures. And I like to be able to let
my hair down, and even do the unexpected. I’m typically a rule-follower…but don’t
push me too far. I’m nostalgic, but I try not to cling too tightly to the past.
However, my heritage—the legacy my parents left for me (mostly in what they
valued and taught)—means a great deal to me.
I treasure my gifts and talents, and I try to use them to
bless others. I love all kinds of people. I have a close connection to Jesus—and
I endeavor to love like He does. I love karaoke, tattoos, writing poetry, and
hanging out with my grandson. I enjoy humor, and it keeps me balanced.
I drink coffee, iced tea, alcohol—pretty much
whatever I like. At the same time, I am continuing to make healthy choices for
my body, soul, and spirit.
Just when you think you’ve got me figured out, I do
something unpredictable. I don’t like to fit in a mold, but I also like to
belong—to be accepted in your circle, in all my uniqueness and candor. I won’t
continue to hang around long where I feel I don’t belong.
I’m a teacher at heart and a writer to my core. Writing
improves my mental state and gives my soul wings. I can easily get bogged down
by stress—but I am capable of huge amounts of love, and I have found that
finding ways to show love is one way out of stress. And one of the
people I must not forget to show love to is me.
I will root for the underdog, support the unpopular, and
hold dear the “diamonds in the rough” God has put in my life. I am hardcore
compassionate and relentlessly merciful. I adore owls and marvel at butterflies.
I’m a serious thinker whose mind never rests. I have
insights on many topics and situations, due to a wide range of experiences and
challenges. I am strong, perseverant, and full of purpose. I hope I have passed
at least some of those qualities on to my children, who are true rays of
sunshine to me—even in their hardest moments.
I am blessed by my husband, my family, my friends, comforts,
dreams for the future, word-craft (the ability to express a message creatively
and effectively with words), my church, my occupation, and the ability to bless
others.
