About Me
More about Me: I was the girl who was into Def Leppard and Bon Jovi when all the other girls in my class were into Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. I'm also the girl who would pick up the frog and play soccer, but still liked things like makeup and My Little Pony. My husband and whole family also have silly senses of humor. I have bipolar disorder and am also a survivor of abuse, so I am very interested in support and advocacy for others. For the past seven years I have been a volunteer community host on some forums on Beliefnet.com, a very large spirituality website. I love meeting different kinds of people and want to travel to every inhabited continent at least once before I die. Oh, and, I can talk your ear off. :)
Favorite Music: U2, Coldplay, the Police, a little bit of everything except very little country or death metal
Favorite Books and Writers: The Screwtape Letters- C.S. Lewis
The Unauthorized Guide to Choosing a Church-Carmen Renee Berry
Cyrano de Bergerac-Edmond Rostand
Pygmalion-G.B. Shaw
The Shack-William P. Young
Tennessee Williams
Terry McMillan
I can't live without: My cats, my internet, my laptop, my husband, sweet tea, Dr. Pepper, bath and beauty aids (scented bubble bath, soaps, etc), tv/movies, God
I am most proud of: Getting through some rough experiences and relationships; being able to get to know or get along with pretty much everyone; my achievements and work at Beliefnet; some of my writing; getting a college degree, even if I don't use it;
I am most guilty of: Beating myself up over little things, worry, laziness, not standing up for myself, not trusting my own feelings and instincts, making jokes about everything, taking on too much and not being able to say 'no'
Words I live by: Treat others as you want to be treated (Ethic of Reciprocity), Try to find humor in everyday life, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me-Phil. 4:13
The world would be a better place, if only: people would treat others as they want to be treated, I could train my cats to do housework, people would think before speaking, people would have compassion for others, I had a lifetime supply of chocolate, snobbishness and stupidity were criminal offenses
Kids: My pets are my kids
