Hello all,

First of all I want to thank you for taking the time to visit and truly I want to say that we appreciate the time that each one of you takes to help others... sometimes we just need a word of encouragement and/or an unbiased point of view. THANKS!

I guess I will start by answering some questions.. what qualifies me to help people?

I honestly don't think that I am qualified at all, all I can offer you is a sincere and unbiased point of view. I usually think of the saying "Do unto others as they do onto you", treat others as you wish to be treated.

I have gone through a really long and rocky path to find my prince charming (I have yet to find him...) but I keep thinking that it will happen one of these days and everytime I meet someone I just get a little bit closer, even though I usually get hurt in the process but a friend once told me, "think that when you get hurt, it'll be that much better once you find the love of your life".

Perhaps, my best advice is to always find the positive in EVERYTHING, keep your head up and learn from you mistakes. :)
