FYI- I am a site moderator-so if you have questions or concerns about Mingle2 feel free to contact me.

You might say I'm unconventional. I like expanding my life through exploring, trying new activities, going places I've never been and taking risks hoping for big rewards.

What You Should Know About Me

1. Finding something positive out of every situation that comes to me is a way of life.
2. I'm feisty when pushed without provocation. I can be blunt, but am honest. If I'm mad I'll tell you and get over it quickly.
3. I am happy with who I am. Not saying there's one or two things I wouldn't tweak - hey, I am a woman.
4. I love creating through writing and interior design. If you want to truly know me, it would be a benefit to take an interest in what I write.
5. Outgoing at all times, I speak freely among strangers or friends -viewpoints expressed always. If your's differ I will respect them.
6. I will not be provoked to talk badly to you and will not tolerate verbal or physical abuse by anyone. I have no desire to control nor be controlled by another.
7. I fear boredom and do not like routine. Life's an adventure that's meant to be explored. Different cultures, other countries and unconventional people intrique me.


I have been here mainly for commenting on other's poetry and writing and posting some of my own. Now that I am single again, here goes, who knows? Here's a couple of my poems.

Act 1 11/14/08

Frustrated I am
Unknowns hold us
Captive to a time
A place, reunited
The spot in the movie
Rewound over and over
Comfortable, but for
A moment.
Short story perfect
But a novel
We never make
With but one take
There's no perfection
Only recollection of
The half steps, the
Missteps, the
Stepping backwards
Off the ledge
Free falling
And then
The director
Shouts cut.


In The Night 12/11/08

In the night, quiet comes
Not gently, but forcefully
Forced on me by chance
The circumstance, you chose
Asking why...knowing that
I won't hear the answer
I wish to receive and in
Knowing this I grieve
For the touch, the look
The chances I took
In free falling with you
Checking my heart, yes
Still there, as the air
Escapes from my lips
Your kiss but a sigh
And still my mind
Questions why
Oh why?


Reflections 5/06/09

Looking in the mirror
I alter my view
For a different angle
A slight shift in
Fate, how it relates
In the here and now
Shedding layers
Instilled early on
Of faulty perceptions
My focus turns in
Beneath skin my
Heart repairs what's
Missed, or moved or
Lost from view
A person, a longing
A fairytale dream
Not what it seemed
Discarding what weighs
Heavy on my heart
Small changes provide
A new start, plans change

Breathe deeply...live
Live simply...love
Love lasting...breathe


Thought I would add this, since I found it and have reread it numerous times pondering the questions. I give full credit to my son Jared, who wrote this in a myspace blog 2 days before his 18th birthday. And here I thought all he was doing was dulling his mind by playing video games all the time. Was I wrong. I think the questions are quite brilliant. Here's to creativity and great minds.

The bobcat is a sh*ty spin off of a lion... So get your excuses out of my face, I'm sick of listening to them. If you f**k up you can always fix it...Always.

It takes 14 days to force the mind to lose memories that it has made.

You could spend a lifetime trying to remember one thing...

If you had less than a decade to live would it change who you are?

Can knowing the way you will die change the way you live?

In less time than it takes to make a human being you can destroy them without ever laying a finger on them...

Is it murder if I can kill someone from the inside out? Would you prosecute?

I have died a million times in my mind only to be reborn stronger and better than I ever was before.

If we were immortal...If we could never die...Would we live our lives without motivation? What could possibly make us happy? Eventually we would all become bored with life, maybe even wish for death. Once life no longer presents a challenge we will cease to strive to live... Without motivation, without desire, then we will do nothing but let ourselves wither away. Eventually we would all fade and become lost souls searching for a way to die...Just another challenge to test the human fabric, the instinct, the very thing that makes us humans...

I have the greatest reason of all...I will try harder than anyone you will ever meet...I have the ultimate motivation...If you want to keep pace you'll have to give yourself a reason to live. What's your purpose? Why are you here? I don't have as half as much time to answer these questions so I'll just answer twice as fast.

5-4-3-2- ... Go.
