About Me:
I am a divorced,retired 63yr old African-American Christian Mother of 3, 4 Grandchildren, and 2 Great Grandchildren. I have only been retired for 5 months after being laid off from my job in Oct of 2011. The competition for jobs when you near retirement age are far and few between. I volunteer at my Church 3 times a week doing data entry on our Church enrollment. I am in several ministries with my Church, Mass choir,Womens choir, Hospitality, and Greeters. The year 2012 Blessed year. GOD has been blessing me. I have a roof over my head, food, a 19yr old Toyota that is still running,but I would like to leave a legacy for my family. Everyone is struggling, and if I can make their lives better,then, that is my prayer.
Interests:
My interests are my church ministries. I like to read my Bible, cook, play computer games, and enjoy my grandchildren.

I attended a real estate seminar last year, and had to put this project on the back burner, due to, being laid off from my job, and forced into retirement. No one wanted to hire a 63 year old Grandmother. I now live on a fixed income that comes once a month. So, when I read this email, and did the research I got very excited about succeeding in 2013!!!! I am trusting GOD that this will be MY YEAR!! Thank You...Have A Blessed Day!!!
