Married 15 years this year to my second husband who is a wonderful "step" father to my children. A mother of an almost 20 yr old daughter (yes, I was a single teenaged mother, a 16 yr old and a 15 yr old which are both boys. I was the only female born Hastings family member until I was 21 years old. I love to go to the high school football games to watch my talented sons play. I also enjoy sitting in the heat all summer long cheering on my 15 year olds AAA baseball team work their magic. I am most proud of my daughters confidence and self-esteem, I have never met a female who has as much love for herself as she does. I enjoy being around kids of all ages and use to work in the Child Care Profession as a provider and assistant director of a liscened Child Care facility. I switched career paths and now I am a merchandiser and visit several stores daily, but my heart is still in the Child Care Industry. I would like to Own my own(or run)a Child Care Center one day. I am an organized, honest and loyal person. When I first meet someone I am quiet and do not like to talk much. But then after getting to know someone and becoming friends I will talk your ear off. The friends in my life today are the same ones that I met 30 years ago or the ones that I have met along my lifes journey. I enjoy writing about whatever comes to mind. I have over 50 journals in the top of my closet. I am not very fashionist. Just give me a pair of blue jeans, a t-shirt or polo shirt, and some athletic shoes and I am good to go. (I own 1 dress) I do not wear or have to wear make-up, and I hate to even put any on. (I was blessed with the "natural" beauty) I only drink alcholic beverages once in a blue-moon, I do smoke cigarettes and I can not stand it.(habits are hard to break) I do not have a favorite color, I could eat mexican food on a daily basis. I have an older brother who is the funniest ever, I have a step-brother who is younger than me and who I wish I had a relationship with and talked to more, I have a Cu-Sister who is one of a kind. I love to be on the computer and can get lost in looking random information up. I enjoy doing research, and I listen to just about anything that is playing on the stereo.
I lack interpersonal skills and communication skills. I would rather write a letter than speak in person. I have low self esteem and am not very confident. I began my career in the Child Care Profession when I was 16 and changed my career to Merchandising when I was 36.
My Philosophy
What Gives Me Hope
My children
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
What/who changed my life and why
My husband Ron because he has showed me unconditional love and he gave me the strength to change from who I was to who I have became.
I am only one; but still I am one. I may not be able to do everything, but still I can do something.

Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen. Robert Bresson
We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.
