Fun Facts

I am naturally a smartass and laugh through tough times. A way to my heart isn't with food or diamonds. Buy me some Post-it notes, and I'm a happy camper. Anyone else? 

 

While it may not always be a pretty sight, as a music junkie, you can find me dancing in my kitchen. I'm not saying I would die without my coffee, but someone else might. 


As an empath and a Virgo, I am a feeler of all the feels. I have nightly conversations with Archangel Michael. He and I are besties. My two kids and two fur babies keep me busy. Call me crazy, but I love eating steamy hot french fries with ice cream. I can't be the only one that does this. Right?


Dance like no one is watching,

Live like you'll never be hurt.

Sing like no one is listening.

Live like it's heaven on earth.

- William Purkey
