I have received some AMAZING and encouraging emails/comments since starting this blog. Truth be told, most of the people that have contacted me, I’ve never met. KEEP IT COMING! J

I encourage you to leave comments and/or contact me. I LOVE hearing what people are thinking and your comments may inspire future blog posts.


As previously mentioned, I have received emails from so many people that I do not know but have connected in some way to what I have written so far. So in the spirit of getting to know me a little better…

Let’s play 20 truths and 5…”not so true” truths! (No cheating and referring to FACEBOOK! God is watching you!)

Disclaimer: The following information is irrelevant to who I am, as stated in my “ABOUT ME ” section, because the most important thing about me is that I am a child of God and He is my numero uno. However, I thought this would be fun…and I couldn’t help myself!
