About Me

My photo
Anyone who knows me well, would smile slyly or laugh aloud while shaking their head. They might try describing me with some odd anecdote. I admittedly have a sense of humor, that catches most off guard. I am also oddly conservative, in a bohemian sort of way! Making others laugh at slightly inappropriate moments is a secret joy. I am a creative soul-an artist of sorts. I enjoy laughter, love and people who are not puffed up with ego. I am short patient with false promises, and with those who crave the limelight and status. I have had my share of joy and pain, but like to think I will be victorious over the pain. I believe in and love God, and depend on my faith in this journey. I am a daughter, a mother of a young woman, part of a loving family, and a good friend to some folks. I am intent on living and bringing joy and enlightenment into the lives of others, while gleaning some for myself! My pet peeves are superficial people, liars, and manipulators. I also abhor malicious gossip, and mean spirits. My mother taught me to "love many, trust few, and always paddle my own canoe."

Low Flyin' (In the Words of My Father)

Hey slow down girl!
Doin' all that low flyin'
You'll get there.
Those same people you passin' now
Gon' meet you at the light.

Daddy you know you right.

Yeah, so where you going?
And why you in a hurry?
You'd have plenty of time, if you got up early.

Noooo, that's too much like right.
Gotta stay up all night.
Daddy, I said you right!

Now you wanna run over everybody on the road.
Yeah...you love to low fly!
Daddy you know you right.

I know I'm right!
You ain't got to tell me!

but I don't have enough speeding tickets to line a dresser drawer

What you say?  Yeah, don't repeat it! You gon' too far!

I love you Daddy.
