In the spirit of Love

I was talking to my mother today about life and relationships. She told me that she didn't understand why I wouldn't date a Christian. I explained to her that it wasn't because I didn't respect their beliefs, because I think everyone is different and has the right to believe whatever they want.

A realization

I have been struggling lately with deciding upon how much of the truth that I want to know. And by truth I mean the corruption in the world. I got caught up for a moment in conspiracy theories and although I believe them to be true, I was giving them far too much attention. The important thing is not knowing the problems. There are far too many problems, and there are certainly more to come.

About Me

Bio

I am a sweet, happy girl. I am known for two things: Always having a smile on my face and dancing whenever I hear music(and sometimes it's only in my head!).

I am goofy, silly, light-hearted and easygoing, but you might not see that upon first meeting because I can be quite bashful.

I like to laugh and laugh a lot. I laugh when I am in an uncomfortable situation, or if things just went terribly wrong for myself. I have strong emotions and I figure I can either laugh or cry and I'd rather laugh.

I am very passionate and love to learn. Whatever I am interested in, I move at full force until something else catches my attention, and off I go toward it instad. I have associate degrees in illustration and graphic design(as well as a couple of others, lol), but and I am returning to community college after a four year break to pursue yet another artistic endeavor, commercial music. This one I am super excited about. I will be getting certified in Pro Tools, and learning how to record, mix and compose music. I have no idea what kind of career I am going to end up doing with this, but I know it will be amazing. Music is so powerful to me and a huge part of my life. Somehow, weather it is my own or someone elses, I want to put happy positive music into the world, and thus spread happy positive vibes outside my normal reach.

I have an amazing son who has taught me more about life than any other teacher I have had. He has also brought me more joy than I thought possible.

I have been a single mom since the day he was born and believe it or not, I wouldn't have it any other way. He is a reflection of his environment, and his environment is completely peaceful and happy because I have no one to argue with. lol. And I have help from my mother and grandmother, so I always have enough energy and patience for him.

To whomever is reading this, thank you for taking a moment to see what I am about.

With a smile,

Chantel

Skills and talents
I am a quick learner and good at following directions. I think I could be good at anything that I wish to be, but my interests tend to be artistic. I am constantly into something new, but right now I am into cooking, knitting, hula hooping, and making collages. I also enjoy, drawing, painting, writing, digital design, ballroom dance, sewing, embroidery, and all sorts of random crafts. And I am currently learning how to play piano and make digital music.
