About Me

My Photo
I lost my best friend for life on November 9, 2007 -- my momma. The experience changed my perspective on a lot of things: love, honesty, faith, wisdom, truth, happiness, sadness, virtuosity, joy. I'm not suffering. I'm not depressed and crying and lamenting the wrong I've done. Yet, I always find myself reflecting on things I've done to figure out how best to use that wisdom to continue to grow and to share what I've learned.

My Bucket List - Places I Want to Go, Things I Want to Do

Best Friend challenged me to come up with a Bucket List of all the places and things I want to experience. . with the Best Friend. Well, I started small, and realized that life is too damn short to limit yourself. Besides, I'm blessed enough to know that if I desire it, there's a pretty fair chance it's going to happen. So, this is just the beginning of my Bucket List. List of Places
  • Queen Wilhelmina State Park (Arkansas)- I developed the website, and fell in love with the photography of all the great views
  • Gulf Shores, AL – Grew up at the beach, and want to return!
