  • Republicans - Christians? Not so sure...

    By Nikkie, on Fri Sep 26, 2008 8:56am PDT

    I consider myself to be open minded.  I don't care what color someone is, how much money they make, whether they are a Christian or not (I am a Christian and MY Bible says that it is not upon us to judge each other), or any other details that seem to be hard for many folks.

About This Author

I am 31 and the proud mother of the most amazing and beautiful person I have ever met. We are of Portuguese, Cherokee Indian and Irish decent, which we embrace whole-heartedly. Together, Alexia and I take life by the horns and live life to its fullest. She is 15 (if you do the math you'll notice that I was just a kid when I had her), and I have learned who I am as a woman by being her mom. That's a gift I will forever be grateful to her for... I'm happy to be dating an amazing man who I like to call Mr. Yummy. We've known each other since before puberty which is kind of cool and I'm really just loving the whole experience. He's beyond sexy and has a tender side to him that just slays me. I am blessed with a job I love, I am the operations support manager for a great company. I am halfway finished with my BS in interior design and cannot wait until I finish. I plan to start a design firm in southern OR and I am going to specialize in Feng Shui which is a philosophy that creates balance and promotes positive energy. I love my life and the people in it, and feel blessed each and every day. No matter what happens, I always manage to land on my feet and I thank God for always throwing me a safety net. Through Him, anything is possible and it's with that knowledge that I embrace life for the beautiful and crazy journey it is. I believe that happiness is a choice, life is a gift, and to understand that is the roadmap to bliss. I hope your journeys take you there!
