I am a single career Mom striving every day to be the best that I can be for my children and our home. I've been riding horses since I was two. I've traveled extensively, for business and pleasure. All we can ever do is be open, honest and true accepting others for the way that they are. I call that respect. In reality words whisper. It is our actions that scream. I believe in Dreams AND Passion.

True friends are few and far between. A good friend said, Laura, know what I call a true friend...it's the one I can trust with my woman, my money and my life. It always intrigued me he put his woman first. That's the kind of man I'd like to have in my life. I think he is very special to have friends such as that. I am thankful each and every dam day for ones that I call friends in my life but especially so for the one that picks me up, dusts me off and sets me straight again. ~*~A~*~ you rock !!

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge and all of the others including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you." Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel, Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh...Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!" Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her! Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder her name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Love realizing how much he owed the elder asked Knowledge, another elder, " Who helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled with deep Wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile.
