Are YOU willing to let us see inside of WHO you are?
I am an open book. I tweet/talk publicly about myself, family, likes and dislikes. (ok, so I grumble about my dislikes, but still!)
I’m happy, silly, joyful, serious, concerned and whine in the cuuutest suuuthern axxcent ever. I enjoy the little things that make life big and am completely serious…..when necessary.
I have a list of a “few” things about me on my blog. (ok..so it’s NOT a few…it’s actually over 40…and I could add more..just sayin. I should update the picture over there though, as it is from 2006. I have added a few more wrinkles and some gray hair.) I love letting people get to know me because I LOVE getting to know people. All kinds of people, from far and near and all back grounds.
Having said all that – to say – I love social media and the reach it gives me. I love that I have friends (YES friends!) that live in Africa, Australia, Scotland, Canada etc and have never met them personally – but I feel as though I’ve known them for such a long time. I love the friendships that I’ve developed. I love learning about these wonderful people. I want to share some of them with you.
I hope you’ll click on the links and learn more about them. These lists can be found on their personal blogs. I have loved reading them, learning more about them and becoming their friend. I hope that you will too.

What a wonderful bring-people-together idea you have here! I am so honored and joyful to have been a part of this. BIG smile on my face reading this and reading about your friends…and SO looking forward to connecting with more of them and reading their lists! As I like to say, I do SO hate to be “listless” 😉 Thank you again, Sweetness & Light, for inviting me to contribute. You are a true joy to know! ((HUUGGGGS)) Gina
I’m like you, an open book! When I first ‘got online’ I had many people say I shouldn’t do that but I just feel people are more open and trusting if they feel they know YOU a bit. It has opened a world of doors, opportunities, and blessings for me over the years.
@Gina Thank you for stepping up to the demand…errr..umm..challenge. *grins* I was soo glad when you said yes and even more glad when Michael suggested i ask you. I LOVE your list and am so glad to get to know you more.
@Faith Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting. That is why my list is called keeping it real. I want to be real – truthful, even when I’m being a complete whinybrat. I love learning about others. I truly think every blogger should have a page like that. When you do yours, let me know and I’ll add you here too. Ummm..you are going to do one…right? hmmm?
{{{HUGS}} yall~!!you are fantabulous!!
About two months ago God brought up the verse in John where Jesus said I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE, HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME WILL LIVE EVEN THOUGH HE DIES. aND i HAD a dream where Jesus was in a white robe and about to show to me his wounded side. I wonder if God is getting me ready to die. I have insulin dedpendant diabetes and congestive heart failure and many here in Toledo treat me with hate.then I had a nervous breakdown from 1986.
awwwww thank ye funny honey sunny bunny with tons of money 🙂 i looooooove you!!!!
