About me:

I am a petite woman. Cute. I am presently in the process of divorcing my husband of 19 yrs. God has blessed me almost the minute I filed for divorce, he put a man on a park path when I went for a walk.. his name is Steve, but I call him Steven. I wasn't quite interested and I waited a while to date him normally as I was not looking for a man. Winds up he is the greatest guy and treats me like gold. I believe God gave him to me to love and to show me love.. it was God showing me I was on the right path. I did not recognize Steven as being a guy who would be in my life that day, I found him funny and sweet but I was not initially attracted to him. He is older, heavier and alot taller then I'm used to and he was somewhat unkempt that day in the park. I just thought he was nice man. Yet now he is my soulmate. I'm under his spell. God knew better then me and I thank him everyday of my life!! Steven is the easiest and sweetest man in the world. So affectionate and loving and so damn intelligent I LOVE IT. He is very handsome too.. I have been blessed and I will always be grateful for his love. He brings out the very best in me and makes me so happy. I AM ADDICTED TO HIM AND HIS LOVE....its crazy!! Its GREAT! I can't believe I lived without love for so long in my life ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am the mother of 3. I have been blessed with them also. I have a girl (21) and 2 boys (19) & (15). I love my kids more then anything in the world. I have beautiful children. I am proud of them all for different reasons. I love all their individuality. Each are very SPECIAL. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I am pretty vivacious, animated and outgoing. I love dancing and singing but I can't sing!! Ha ha.. I love to laugh and amuse myself and others. I like to be funny and have FUN!! I am not serious alot of the time. I love a good sense of humor. I love a good laugh!! I am also a good sport about laughing at myself, but I can be over sensitive at times. Probably PMS then... :)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I love to go out, I love to entertain, I love a good party, and a good time. I love experiencing different things. I love living...from the bad to the good and all in between.. I love the whole journey...life is very contemplative and good for the better part. Life is what you make it...its all in the attitude and how you look at things.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I love talking to people especially deep. I like helping to solve problems and talking about things on all angles, all sides. I truly believe it helps...to widen your scope. Everything and everyone has an angle. Look at them all. It relieves alot of pain. It is much easier understanding people and situations then to be pissed off or hurt all the time. We're just different. **I have come to learn on many occassions, that the person or situation you see is often misrepresented by one's perception..so don't believe everything you hear or SEE. Don't let your insecurities get involved with your perception. BE FAIR.BE LOGICAL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd solve all the worlds problems if I could...I always want to help. I don't know why, but I want to help try if I can. I will step up, this you can count on! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am generous to a fault. With my time, my money and my knowledge - I share it all. I am very giving by nature. Its part of the I love to help syndrome. I obviously like to be needed too..so its a good circle for me. It all comes back to me TENFOLD. Karma is wonderful... I live by my virtues and I am proud of my values. I am blessed often and always recognize Gods hand in my life. http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u247/wardfg1/VirtuesTEXT.jpg --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am a pretty happy person for the most part. Though if you hurt my family, or someone I care for; I can be ferocious as I am very protective and loyal. As little and as sweet as I am - I am pretty fierce when protecting or defending. Mama lion. You'd think I was 6ft4 not 5ft nothing!. I'm known to be very tough. Teachers and cops do not want to deal with me and I don't blame them. I deal. I take alot of crap. I'm easy going but once I am pushed past the line - BOOM - I don't take any - I will not let myself/kids be abused. Seriously I am NICE & GOOD to all and I expect the same in return. Respect. . I don't like to be taken advantage of and I don't play games - What you see is what you get. And I am a LION. If I were to come back as an animal it would be a CAT. A regal, protective, proud, affectionate, playful, smart, strong, loving, ferocious, LOYAL and beautiful cat. A lioness. ROAR. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm a romantic, which is part of why I love to read and to write. It takes me away to a world I can only imagine. I should write for a living with this imagination. I like writing. I LOVE words. They are powerful and provoke my imagination. I love being creative whether I am writing or painting, or doing scrapbooks, etc.. Or I am in the kitchen cooking... I don't always follow recipes.. cuz I love to create.. which means you may not eat the same thing twice cuz I don't remember how the hell I made it the first time.. so create again! LOL!! My wheels are constantly turning and sometimes I think other people would get tired in my head...I know they get tired just watching me go, go, go... Insomnia haunted my life for years.. hence the name "Midnight Mama". Sleep 6 hours I'm good to go. Since I met Steven I have no insomnia anymore. I am in love and at PEACE.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I am researching something; I will go to great lengths getting info and knowledge. I like to be prepared and to KNOW. So don't be surprised if you asked me about something and I checked out 5 books from the library and went online a 100 hours... I know a LITTLE BIT about alot! My mind is always learning like a sponge. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I like taking care of people and things; I am very nurturing. Whether I am working, cooking, gardening whatever..I work hard, do it well and take care of all the details. I'm a little powerhouse of a gal. I always go the distance and more.... Its my nature to "nurture". I like taking care of details and people. I love planting and gardening. I enjoy the fruition. I find great joy in watching the beauty in all the growth I helped to nurture along. I like making things beautiful. I love children - not just my own - ALL, I love their innocence, love how they look at the world, explore and learn all the time. Its fascinating. I love mentoring them and showing them the world. I turn children on to culture and new worlds. ITS GREAT!! I also nurture my kitty cats, I have 6 felines - I am a kitty cat mama too and I am ALLERGIC to them! It must be LOVE!! xoxo Thank heavens for meds... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am very honest, sometimes people can be turned off to this because they take what I say personally or think I shouldn't say whatever. My thought on that is I am NOT responsible for other peoples perceptions nor should I have to walk on eggshells because their sensitivity level is bothered. I live in AMERICA...freedom of speech..I can guarantee I am not saying anything hurtful. I am entitled to my opinion, you don't have to like it - you can just respect its mine to OWN. I have no problem with people having a different opinion... I will never PURPOSELY hurt anyone with anything I say. Thats what should count. Thats what should matter. Hey I am an acquired taste...what can I say. Once you get past my brutal honesty, we'll have alot of laughs together. I'm direct. Deal. I just tell the truth. Thats who I am and realistically hey: not all people can handle the truth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am a nice person and I will always see the good, perhaps thats naive of me but if you look for the bad you will find it - I tend to look for the good. And I find it. I am NOT mean, and I will always have the best interests of others or the situation at hand in mind. I never have an ego unless I am UNAPPRECIATED. That is truly the only thing that ever hurts me... because I try so hard. My brother will always say I try TOO hard. I don't know how not to..but it's OK. People have to get over my security and confidence - it took me 30 years to get there and ALOT of pain. I had NO security, NO self esteem, NO confidence. And a POOR attitude. I do not even like to think about that person I was, she is not recognizable to who I am today. I am aware it made me who I am and wiser. I've been beaten, battered, cheated on, disrespected, pissed on. Suicidal pain. You have no idea...I was a young mess. So please before you judge me; get to know me. Get over whatever it is that you think - I think - because its NOT TRUE! I just know myself. Good and bad and I'm honest. I am a FAIR person... so please be fair to me. I learned alot of hard lessons in life that made me tougher and smarter. My own fault. My mistakes were necessary to make me a better ME. I also had to train myself for over 25 years with the power of positivity.. It did not come naturally, its a process.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I like doing my best and I don't mind complimenting people or ass kissing, it doesn't hurt me, and it helps others to feel appreciated or good about themselves. Its good to be valued. It makes me FEEL GOOD about me too - because I helped to make them feel good. Whats wrong with that? Its a GREAT CIRCLE! O center>

MySpace Codes for Images at OurSpace.biz.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not a "big" control freak, but I can be demanding at times. My joke is I run a tight ship. ;) I definitely expect better and not mediocre work. STEP IT UP. Why do anything if you are not willing to put in your best? You need to have pride in ALL you do...the little things DO COUNT. Never be too good for the little things. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ People often think I am not that smart when they 1st hear me speak as I am not very eloquent and sound young and questionable with my voice. I also seem flustered at times because I like to prognicate outloud "what was I doing, where was I???? But I KNOW and I'm on top of things - I just have a million things going on and I like to wind back to the moment at hand. Sometimes I need to collect my thoughts. This may give people the impression I don't know what I am doing but I usually know EXACTLY what I am doing. Besides this trait is a quality that helps endear me to others..people think they are better then me/smarter - so what..so be it! Not my problem. People have to appease their egos. Besides its a way to get past the intimidation of me because my personality is VERY strong. Once they know me they usually figure out I am a lot more grounded and intelligent then I sound. I think because people have that impression first with me is why I do try so hard...who knows?? I like to analyze myself as much as the next guy. GO DEEP.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because I am so open and share I'm the come to person in a lot of my relationships...easy to speak with, I am a total people person. And I will be there for anyone at anytime..thats who I am. Reliable, dependable, honest and loyal. Proud of it. If you are my friend I will be your friend till the end of time - unless you screw me so bad I can't recognize you or find an excuse for your behavior; it has to be pretty damn bad... because I am very understanding... I know human nature and frailities... I've made alot of mistakes in my life and I will be the first to understand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you are my age you pretty much know what your strengths and weaknesses are. One of the most important gifts I have been blessed with is the ability to read and understand people. I have incredible insight and intuition. I am very DEEP. Many times I intuitively know what someone is feeling. They can totally be passive, and it doesn't matter what they say, I possess a unique gift that is very strange. Insecurities, egos, pettiness, sad, happy, nervous, uncomfortable, embarrassed or chagrined. I feel it. I can read through peoples masks...see through their defense mechanisms. I know when their being honest and when their covering, when their insecurities are ruling them. I seem to understand where they are coming from without speaking about it. I don't let on always. I often wonder if people can see in my eyes that I know their covering or at times downright lying... No matter. Sometimes I confront round aboutly. I don't speak too much about my vibes. Its not important. I know when I am dealing with an open mind and with a negative closed mind... I back off. They wouldn't believe me anyway. No need to speak to a closed mind about OPEN things!!... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am a lucky or rather blessed girl. I always see the messages in the little things in life - they are there if you are receptive to see them. Life is an attitude..wear it happily! If you are not happy then change your world. You are the master of your destiny. Be strong and don't let the negative bombardments of life get you down...face it with a good attitude and ride it out. Be positive..your life is what you make it. : ) Make it GREAT! You're worth it!! -------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
