I love interior design, painting ceramics and floral design when I'm not writing. Reading is my all-time favorite thing to do but as a published author I don't get to do it much anymore. I usually don't read other's work when I'm writing but when I'm not on a deadline--I consume at least 2 books a week. My family and I also enjoy Broadway Shows.

I really love Gospel music!! Some of my favorite artists are: Mikki Kornegay, Yolanda Adams, Mary Mary, Nicole C. Mullen, Deitrick Haddon, Donnie McClurken, Marvin Sapp, The Clark Sisters, Kurt Franklin, Nolan Williams Jr. and many many others. Contemporary R&B and Jazz are also loves of mine. I love all of Alexx Daye's music and can't wait for her album to drop. I've discovered some great music on MySpace by artists: Jean Toussaint, Kyle Turner, Candy Dulfer and Arturo Tappin.

Any book that is a good read--I just love a good story! I love romance novels, mystery/thrillers, science fiction ... a story that will draw me in and keep me turning the pages.
|
|
I love dramas--especially tear jerkers like The Color Purple, Steel Magnolias, The Perfect Storm, Pearl Harbor and Titanic but I also enjoy action-adventure movies like Executive Decision, Air Force One, Independance Day, S.W.A.T. & Walking Tall. I'm a big Law & Order fan so I love them all--CSI Miami, CSI New York, Criminal Intent, Without A Trace, and Law & Order Special Victims Unit. I also love Shark, The Closer, Criminal Minds, Ugly Betty, The Unit and 24.

I see we both love interior design! It is the profession I left to pursue writing which was my first love and my most important gift. Very proud of you and would love make your acquaintance. Thank The Lord for His Blessings on you for using your gift to honor Him and bless the rest of us. Because of the type of books you seem to enjoy, I think I would love to send you a copy of my book once it is released. Would you join me in prayer that The Lord makes a way for this to happen soon. I write on behalf of adult survivors of child abuse and feel this is a well needed ministry for this time.
Thanks for the opportunity to share words with you.

LIFE: From Your Friends at
Lingk2us.com
What makes you uniquely special? What would you do if time or money were of no object? Or what big idea have you been quietly nursing as time passes by?
Many of us spend our lives trying to answer these questions to no avail while others push these thoughts aside and get on with the business of practical living. As human beings, we are all not only born with inherent gifts, talents and abilities, but also posses the capacity to directly or indirectly impact our immediate surroundings. Yet somehow, much of it gets lost in the hustle and bustle of every day life. Think about the things you did as a kid, when you were limited only by your imagination?before paying the mortgage became the priority or well intended friends and family members callously wrote on the tablets of your heart. If you could mentally revisit that simpler time; obvious clues about your authentic self and your life's purpose would become apparent. Were you the 'go to' kid in the block? You know, the popular one!The one who's natural leadership ability and 'Big' ideas rallied the group into action. Or maybe you were the more creative type. The kid who explored every hue under the rainbow and through the use of odds and ends and other homespun materials, created imaginative designs that far superseded the ability of his peers. Whoever you are; remember that your true self (the kid you have been carrying with you all along) along side time, money and your ability to dream big are God given assets to help you reach your fullest potential. And remember that as long as you have the gift of life it's never to late explore the possibilities.
