Welcome! This site holds an online journal, a photo gallery, information about me which I'd love to share with everyone who is interested.

I fell in love with writing in High School. I love the process of story-telling, sharing bits of my life, and creating an experience with words and pictures. I absolutely love the fact that this site is MINE and I can control everything about it - from what it looks like, to what I say (bursts into a sinister laugh).

I write about my daily adventures - as a mother of a teenager, as a partner to my actor/director boy-friend, as a young woman enjoying the fullness of life, as a girly-girl who loves to shop, and a dancer who still dreams to perform with Madonna.

I like to write about my life, a few brazen thoughts here and there, and finding inspiration and happiness in the small simple pleasures of life. Ok...with the, extravagant and luxurious ones too!

Oprah made me cry

I never cried this much watching Oprah.

Her guests were the cast of Ladder 49 (John Travolta, Joaquin Phoenix, etc.) who were there not only to promote their movie but also to pay tribute to 2 fire-fighters from Baltimore who risked their lives to save a fellow fireman. John Travolta came by their station and told them that they're invited to guest in Oprah's show. And as if that was not enough, John Tarvolta said that he will personally fly them there on his 707 jet plane (FYI: in case you didn't know, he's a pilot and he owns a plane)!

The fireman that they rescued was a surprise guest and he awarded them both with a medal of honor. At this point, John Travolta was crying like a baby (men are so cute when they cry!). Well, everyone was. Me included. It was so touching it was so hard not to!

~~~~~~~~~~

Oprah also paid tribute to Mattie Stepanek. I didn't know that he passed away last June! Since Mattie loved the firemen, he was given the full fire-fighters funeral. Thousands of his family and fans (politicains and celebrities included) gathered to say their last goodbyes to this amazing kid who captured the hearts of millions around the world. Oprah calls him, "My Guy" .

His mother was there and she recounted Mattie's last few hours. It was like a scene from a movie! Oprah, John, Joaquin, and everyone else were in tears. Mine just kept pouring out.

Mattie was a kid with so much wisdom and love in him. Mattie Stepanek- the daddy, the writer and the peacemaker. That was what he would have wanted to be. He will be missed.

Rest in peace, kiddo.
