I believe in my own power to make things happen and make this a better place to live. I believe in equality and justice. "I belive I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky." - R. Kelly

That was my first belief statement when I joined Bnet, oh so many years ago, decided to let it ride meanwhile continue my statement.

Who am I?  People who know me, know me as tough, they know me as soft.  I'm a rebel ready to fight for a cause, I'm a mother, ready to nurture my child.  I'm stubborn, I'm easy-going...I'm sleepy.

Okay, I'll finish this section later, come back later, okay?

Okay, back, well, I'm just me.  I am a reverend now and while it started out as a joke it's something I take seriously.  It's not something I advertise, I just do my service to humanity, every day is another task, no matter how small, it matters to someone.

My beliefs are more philosophical in origin and I have really taken a liking to Aristotle's writtings, not everything mind you, the man admits his is not the last word.  He suggests that you not dismiss what anyone says, you don't have to agree, just don't dismiss it, and use it as as starting point and end at your own conclusion.  That's pretty much my philosophy.

I feel the older and wiser I become, the more I recognize my own godly power.  Occasionally I joke that I am God, but there is some truth to that statement.

I also resonate with Zen philosophy and enjoy the martial arts.

I love to dance, to me it's a spiritual experience plus I'm just so dang good at it (I like to get on down).  I have no shame and no regrets.  Every experience, every mistake has served to teach me something new about myself and to make me stronger and wiser.
