More about me

My faith in God defines who I am. I'm a born again believer and a student of the Bible. My favorite passages are Psalms 23, 34, and 91, John 3:16, and Romans 8:38 - 39. These are the scriptures that keep my head above water. 

   I love music -- it soothes my savage beast. I love to sing and so  besides being a member of my church choir(s), I also belong to a community based gospel choir called the Reunion Choir of Baltimore. We sing to the glory of God; acknowledging that we were created to worship and praise Him. I am a jazz-a-holic. I love live jazz and I attend concerts at the museums and concert houses around town.

I'm an avid gardener. This year I'm only growing perennials and roses, because I'm downsizing my garden by consolidating several areas. 

I like sports -- I'm a Raving Lunatic ( Ravens football fan). I try to attend several games during the seasonas well as watching every away game. I'm a life long Orioles baseball fan and I watch as many games as I can during the season either on TV, or at the ballpark. I like visiting the museums, I love dance performances and stage plays. Several years ago I even took ballroom and latin dance classes. It was a blast!  

 I enjoy crafts -- I make cosmetics (bath salts, bath/body oils, lotions),  candles, and wreaths for myself and others.

 

Basically -- I'm enjoying life. I feel like a butterfly that just escaped that nasty cocoon. I'm ready to spread my wings to see what the future brings!
