Hi, hello, how are you, and all of that... I am Jessi, a 24 year old mother of a five year old boy. I've been married for six years; in that time, I believe I've learned a little bit about life, love, etc.. and I would like to share what I know with the world and learn from others who have had different experiences and therefore different perspectives from my own. I am a stay at home mother, so I have some spare time in which to read, write, and just in general share with this community.

My passion is ...

life.

I know too much about ...

nothing, ever.

My parents always told me ...

you CAN learn something new everyday, if you want to.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be an actress.

My favorite memory ...

my grandfather holding me while he sat in his old battered red leather recliner in an apartment in Lansing, N.C.

Why I write ...

I write to get things out of my head, to let some of my ideas see the light of day, to see if they will survive outside of my brain. :)

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

lol.. usually watching "Noggin" with my son.

My first job ...

lol.. McDonald's. *don't wanna talk about it*

My best moment ...

Holding my son for the first time on my first wedding anniversary.

My inspiration ...

EVERYTHING!
