For years I thought about what my writings should be about. I have kept a journal since I was a teenager and those writings consisted of whatever was going on in my life at the time. Now that my life has branched off into many areas, my writings have followed. I have come to a place where I want to be more focused in what I write about; creating a theme to the thoughts I put out into cyberspace. I'm not trying to stifle my creativity by containing my thoughts but create boundaries so I can be free to develop in certain areas. Through other areas of discipline in my life I understand how structure enables growth. Haphazardness creates inconsistencies which in turn encourages confusion. I found that though my writings were meaningful to me, the lack of an overall theme presented an incomplete body of work. I am looking for
all of my work to be definitive not random. With that said I thought to myself, sitting on my new front steps, of what matters most to me and what is going on min my life;
that is what I will write about without fear. Simply my life. Now, I know that sounds narcissistic but the passion and substance will come only when I write from a place that is meaningful. Trying to create something that I think will be well received by the public is futile. Like a very wise man said..."When you become an artist you don't create for everyone. Not everyone is going to love what you are doing. The most important thing is to stay true to your passion and there is always an audience out there who is going to support it." Well said.
I begin with what is going on in my life at this present time. I am an artist in the process of developing a mentoring program called
Salon 477.
I am a single gal navigating life with God...and a very feisty cat named Scottie.


I purchased my first home a little over a year ago and have been fixing it up. The latest project was repairing the front steps and landscaping the lawn.



I have done some modeling over the past 4 years and now I am looking into getting a bit more serious about it. I'm not talking supermodel, cat walking, Vogue magazine type things...just stepping my game up to create another source of income.
Lastly, my day job is at a
local community center where I am Volunteer Coordinator which allows me to meet a lot of really great people.
In a nutshell, that's what my life entails at the moment. It changes daily and takes on new shapes moment by moment. But in
this moment, I am satisfied with knowing that my work and words are coming from a place of genuine transparency. It won't always be easy, the temptation to create a "social network facade" and live behind the curtain of your profile will be always present. However I find freedom in sharing who I really am...as I become.
