Interests
General
.. I used to love to sew, but I've not had much time to do that. I love music, so dancing is still something I enjoy doing. It's funny though: when you get older, you run out of breath a lot faster. That's why dancing is good for the cardio, and I still enjoy doing it. I love doing things on the computer that's challenging and building things with my hands. I love to read good books and listen to music when I have the chance (lately, that's not often). I love my children, grandchildren, and making memories with family and friends.
Music
.. I've always loved Earth, Wind & Fire since I was young. I do love great music across the board. My most "recent" favorite song happens to be Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield. I listen to a lot of different type music. Can I get a witness, if you saw the SuperBowl between Pittsburgh and Arizona, Jennifer Hudson's rendition of The Star Spangled Banner left me almost in tears. She sang that song, do you hear me?!!!Movies
.. My favorite movies from the old school would be THE WIZARD OF OZ and IMITATION OF LIFE. I enjoyed GHOST with Whoopi Goldberg and Demi Moore. THE MATRIX was really good. FINDING NEMO stands out in my mind (I have grandchildren). I like to laugh so funny movies are on my list if they're really funny (and not corny funny).Television
.. Project Runway, Ugly Betty, LostBooks
.. Even though I write fiction, I really love books that inspire. I'm a huge nonfiction reader. Anything that will make life better and heighten my experience through life's journey. When I read fiction, I like a story that's not necessarily predictable and I love them to be written well.Heroes
.. It really would have to be my mother. My mother has proven that it doesn't matter where you come from or what you had or didn't have in life, with determination and God on your side, there's nothing a person can't accomplish.

"At the close of the day, we can not re-do anything already done. It is over. Look back with smiles of fond memories made, lessons learned from mistakes, don't dwell, reflect on it's happening and feel honored that you had"IT"...look to tomorrow to seize the new day....and make it and yourself, the best that it can possibly be. God bless you beautiful one.
