About me: I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, lived in Las Vegas for a year, but now residing near Phoenix, Arizona.
I love listening to music played "live". I like just about all genres of music but my favorites are Jazz, R&B and Motown.
I am also a political "junkie" and am really excited about the election of Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States.
I have two wonderful children and a beautiful granddaughter who I love so much and am so very proud of.

When pleasure has no meaning it is no longer pleasurable, and just becomes a sad pursuit. Empty pleasures quickly fade, and leave behind nothing but the emptiness.
Instead of chasing pleasure, allow joy. While pleasures are specific and occur only when conditions are right, joy is unconditional and available at any time, in any place.
Enjoy the pleasures when they come, but don't become enslaved to them. For real, meaningful joy asks nothing of you and is always yours to live.
The real richness is not found in any one thing. Rather, it is in the sheer abundance and availability of it all.
From the smallest petal on a flower, to the wide and distant horizon, we can find energy and possibility, and astounding lessons to be learned. From the most intimate whisper to the roar of a crowd, there are ideas, dreams, hopes and love in every flavor.
Live true to what you know is good and what you know is right. What you gain by so doing is truly worth having.
Feel the miracle of which you are a part. And live the goodness in every moment.
Open yourself to the goodness and to the opportunities that are yours right now. There is much for which to be thankful, for there is no end to the love you can give and no limit to the joy you can share.
Life's great and wonderful blessings are not for hoarding. They are for living.
What's important is not how much or how little we have. What's important is what we do with it.
We won't find richness in the objects of your desire. True richness comes in the living, dynamic expression and fulfillment of those desires.
Be genuinely thankful for your good fortune by applying that good fortune in an authentic, purposeful direction. Make good use of life's goodness, and there is no limit to how valuable it can grow.
