"Who or What Am I?" ...questions I've been trying to answer all my life. The crusade to find one's self is often foggy, far worse than the fogs of London and denser than the swirling masses of gaseous matter and debris surrounding a star, except it's all in my head. Indiscernible to myself and others. A kind of fixed question mark.

"Really, who am I?" I am a typical Aquarius, and consider myself unconventional, creative, and always traveling the road less traveled. I was born in Mississippi, on January 27th, 1981. (Mozart’s birthday!) My parents were public school teachers. Despite a few times of struggle, their salaries managed to provide my brother and me with everything we needed. My mother loves recalling a story. Once I listened to her talking on the phone. I was near the back door, and I heard her say, “If I were rich, I’d have cut flowers everyday.” Not understanding what cut flowers were, I continued to gaze out the window at our unkempt yard with its onion flowers and dandelions. Suddenly, I started to get so excited, I began to shout, “We’re rich; we’re rich!” It was as if a light bulb had turned on in my head. We were rich, but not monetarily. We were rich in love, faith, and creativity. It is a mindset that has followed me ever since, and I quote Marlene Dietrich, "There is a gigantic difference between earning a great deal of money and being rich." I believe that difference is perception.

Current Events: I am currently a homemaker, but I would like to return to the workforce in January 2008 after spending at least the next six months with my newborn son. On March 10th, I gave birth to my first child Montgomery. He was born quite prematurely at approximately 27 gestational weeks. Currently, he's doing well. He's approximately 10 lbs now and getting chubbier by the minute. Also recently, I've received my certification/registration to practice massage therapy and successfully started my own business. Self-employment is SWEET! I am looking forward to my new career, and believe I have found my calling in life: to be a holistic health care practitioner.
