Sometimes folks want to know more about the personal stuff,

Sometimes folks want to know more about the personal stuff, I guess that makes a person more "real" for them.

I'm a single mom, I guess that's where I get my "if I can do it, you can do it" attitude! My little boy, is Nathaniel, born 7/14/90. (what a weekend that was!)

I always wanted to help people, animals the environment - everyone and everything, I guess. That's why I wanted to be a teacher as a kid, and when I "grew up" that's why I went into working with the handicapped, and counseling. I find that through my speaking and writing, I can do both, teaching and counseling - I help folks learn and grow!

This was the day my son was born, the best day of my life! He's 3 hours old here!

This is in Orlando, bet you couldn't guess! Just fooling around!

The handsome-ist boy in his class!
(At least I think so!)

The ever dreaded Sears Christmas Photo!
This was 1994, I think.

"Spike" - all dolled up for the school photo
again. This time it was kindergarten 9/95

"Mama Blues and son" - on vacation in
the Bahamas 7/97 - looks like we had a
good time! (Trust me, we did!)

I guess the last thing I want to say, is: Laugh more! I remember when I was a kid, and my folks subscribed to Reader's Digest, that section called "Laughter is the best medicine" - and it's true! I won't trot out the clinical evidence on how laughing makes you healthier, and live longer, and all that, just take my word for it, it's all true!

I like to have fun, and look for it in every part of every day. The latest buzz-word for this is PMA - Positive Mental Attitude - I prefer to just call it having fun! Look for smiles wherever you go, and if you don't find one, make one! Say hello to the lady in front of you at the store, or tell the next man you see with a cool tie, that he has a cool tie! You'll be amazed at how much fun it is!
