“I meditate and pray all the time. The faith and respect that I have in the power of God in my life is what Ive used to keep myself grounded,, and it has allowed me to move away from the storms that were in my life. Im still a work in progress, but I know that as long as I stay close to God Ill be all right.”

I wont have a traditional marriage; I dont find the value in that anymore. But I am such a hopeless romantic and I really want love and I want a committed relationship, so I am going to reinvent marriage for myself.

Beauty is not just physical.

I am a hopeless romantic. And I wont stop till I get it right.
