: About Me

I am a mother of 4 wonderful children with a child-like curiosity. I love to learn and I want to know everything about anything. I love travel and would like to one day see the world and all it has to offer. I have a very deep interest in geography, mother nature, natural disasters, theology, archaeology, cultures and wonders of the world, fashion, decorating, astronomy, astrology, philosophy and anything that allows me to use my creativity. I have recently stumble into recovery from drug addiction and am grateful to be where I am. I have a newfound faith in the world and people in it and I admire anybody who is in the dark place I was and has found a way out.I love to write and reading is something I just don't seem to have time for anymore. I am a hard person to keep up with as my interests are so vast and I get bored easily. I am constantly looking to learn something new or find something new and exciting. I have a lot of energy and sometimes wish I was better able to channel it more constructively into one project at a time. Although I have a hard time focusing on any single given task, I have found my own way of juggling many tasks at one time. So far, I love writing for Helium, as it motivates me to learn about some of the things that I haven't really looked into yet. I hope to keep my repetoire of little-known facts and quest for knowledge alive and growing....

THE ROOM I walk in. Actually, I am drawn into a shadowbox epitomizing a crypt by some mysterious voice coercing me to enter. When I pass through the doorway, I expect to find myself battling Cerberus to prove my worthiness of entering the deep, dark underworld of Hades. My first instinct is to turn right back around and march right back out of the porthole in which I entered this eerie setting. Yet, something holds me there. Some kind of ultra-magnetic force holds onto my feet with a grip stronger than a mountain climber holding on to the side of a rocky, ice-capped ledge while staring at ...
