Conversations #1

What makes me happy? Simply put...my son. His ear-to-ear smile. His infectious laughter. His quirky silliness. His big brown eyes that look at me as if I'm the greatest thing in the world. His tiny kisses lavished on every part of my face. The whispered "I love You, Mommy" each morning. His inquisitive, curious mind. His pure heart, and his innocent soul. He is truly what brings me the greatest joy!!!

What makes me happy is when I don't step in dog shit first thing in the morning.

I am a 47-year-old single mom who works as a Legal Assistant specializing in family law, juvenile law, and criminal law. My son is the smile on my face, the song in my heart, and the hop in my step. His smile brightens my world and his laughter fills my life with joy. He is my miracle that I never dreamed possible.

My family and friends mean the world to me. They are my support and strength. As crazy as they are, they are my crazies.

I love, love, love website designing and digital scrapbooking. It is my sanity in an otherwise chaotic world.

I am also a devout animal rights advocate and child advocate, having volunteered as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for abused and neglected children. I believe, as human beings, it is our responsibility to give back to the community that has given so much to us.

Some may consider my life boring - I, however, consider it perfect!

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded.

- Emerson

"There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they can grow up in peace."

~ Kofi Annan

If we don't stand up for children, then we don't stand for much.

~ Marian Wright Edelman

To understand your parents' love, you must raise children yourself.

~ Chinese proverb

The family...we were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.

~ Erma Bombeck

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

~ Desmond Tutu

With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity.

~ Keshavan Nair

A person's true wealth is the good he or she does in the world.

~ Mohammed

Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.

~ Helen Keller

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

~ Oscar Wilde
