I'm happy with who I am, and where I'm at in life, but always interested in learning and improving.

Exploring my options and trying to become more focused to reach my goals.

teaching and caring for children.

my eyes, my smile, and my laugh.

my children, my faith, my sense of humor, people who love me, books and music

why I never seem to have enough time to really think about the things I want to.

curled up on the couch watching stuff I taped earlier in the week, chauffering my kids someplace, reading a book, or on the computer, catching up on e-mails and chatting with friends. I save my going out for Saturdays :)

I believe that we have the power to shape our lives through our thoughts, words, and actions.

If you want to say hi.
