I believe you should never be born into a religion. Rather, you should be given the opportunity to discover your individual beliefs.
I believe you should never expect anything, and work for everything. Nothing comes without a price. Take care of yourself first, then you'll have the ability to care for others.
I believe in being, being for today, not yesterday. Today is the first day of the rest of my life.

My secret admirer.

I've been an avid golfer since the age of 10. At the ripe old age of 43, I can still manage to maintain a 12 handicap. My dream is to grow up and play as good as Lorena Ochoa. LOL

Hiking the Red Rocks in AZ and the Grand Canyon.

I love all the shit offered at Flea Markets. I'm amazed by it! I love wondering Farmers Markets in the summer and fall.

Gardening! I love it!! I love birds. I love to listen to them, watch them, and I'm jealous of their perspective of this earth.

I love to travel and Paris in the spring. In college, I had this goofy idea how cool and avant-garde it would be, to be a "starving artist" in Paris. So off I went! My junior year in Paris, France. 14 months later my parents threatened me if I didnt return home to graduate. Sadly, back I came. Not starving but much thinner, and couldnt wait to take a long, hot shower. I still can't find a Croissant in the States that compares.

I love to cook! I will only use the best equipment, tools/supplies, and ingredients. I love to entertain and watch people eat what I create.

I'm an avid reader. Love the Internet and it's world of good and bad resources. I'd much rather get my news and stay informed via the Internet rather then television. Although, I'm addicted to Anderson Cooper 360, Larry King, and Bill Maher. Go figure! LOL And, I feel Nancy Grace should run for a political office! I think Lewis Black is the funniest man on the planet! My favorite HBO series to date is "Dead Wood". I loath the soaps, Oprah, and Hollywood culture but I'd ride Russell Crowe like a mule, in a NY minute! LMAO

All of it, except Acid Rock, Heavy Metal, and some Rap.
