(i'm really bob deep down!!),
Little Women, Ann of Green Gables, The Last Samuri, Oh Brother Where Art Thou? ... i like the romantic, the funny, the clean. i also love foriegn movies. the best foriegn film: Misour Houlet (i think that's how you spell it!). our family are movie buffs, eat our supper infront of the tv with a good movie, and spend time with friends watching movies. great entertainment! | | Television | don't watch it ... i got sick and tired of the crap on tv. news is depressing and all of the sitcoms were sick. we have a tv for movies only now and i don't miss the networks ever! | | Books | been awhile since i've sat and read any books ... hmmmm... i like the psychology of things and have read alot of books like that. i am not into stories, per se. books like, First Person Plural, and weird stuff like that. have done alot of Christian books in the past, but nothing has struck me lately or for quite some time. it's like they all say the same things ... we need new authors, new topics, new ways of looking at things, i think.
i HATE marriage books! and strongly recommend everyone NOT to read them! they screwed up my life for quite some time trying to live up to their idealistic perfectionism... bad, bad news. thee only author i could recommend, though, is gary smalley. he broke the mold.
other than that, anything REAL. | | Heroes | i don't know that i have any ... |

About me:
i'm a mom and a wife. my family is the most important thing to me on this earth. my Jesus is everything and without Him, i would be nowhere in this life. it's difficult for me to describe myself ... i think i am still learning who i am! ... even at 46 years old! ... life is challenging and difficult at best, and sometimes i wonder if we'll make it, but my porch swing beckons me every day and i sit out under the trees and listen to them sing, watch the birds in my feeders, and the butterflies in the flowers and can forget for those moments about the hassels that want to engulf me.... i am a deep person and chit chat is hard for me to make. i like to hear what others think and mostly feel. i like to be an encourager and make others feel good about themselves for who they are. ... i don't know what else to write!

ANNOUNCEMENT - NEEDING BOOK CONTRIBUTORS
Looking for abuse survivors to be a part of my new book.
Go to Healing from Abuse Book Blog
and respond to the questions and posts there.
Thank you for your contributions!!
======================
HELP WANTED: NEEDING COMMENTS
i am needing comments to my book,
Finding My Voices; My Journey Out of the Pain of Incest
Healing from Borderline Personality Disorder and Multiple Personality Disorder
"It is quite a shock to a person's system to come to find that what they had considered normal was, instead, considered abuse. I had always felt that something was "wrong" with me, until I uncovered the deep dark secrets my family kept hidden for years. My mother and my brother had molested me; my family had pinned a scarlet letter on me since I was very small, and my little mind had no other choice but to create other personalities to survive the trauma of my abuse......"
your comments will be used in my submission letters as i search for the
right publisher for my book. i have gotten two acceptance letters,
but they weren't the right publishers for me.
thank you in advance!

Who I'd like to meet:
people who like to laugh at the silly ordinary things of life ... people who are hurting and need a shoulder to cry on, an encouraging word, and a genuine friend ... people to think deeply and are not afraid to express feelings ... people who are not too proud to admit their struggles and failures ... people who care about others genuinely and who openly express it ...
