I am a REAL cheeky redhead with a serious side as well. Yes, humor and honesty can be found in the same package! Life is way too short to be serious all the time. Be able to point and laugh which I actually do often. Perhaps that seems rude but life is what it is. I appreciate real people with real things to say. I want to make you laugh so hard you puddle, or take something so serious you will jump at the chance to change it. <br /> <em><strong>About me:</strong> </em>On-line I am known as Cheekyredhead...an alias I have used since the dawn of time.&nbsp; A few publishers know&nbsp;me as Cheeky Powell.&nbsp; I discovered that hiding behind an alias allows others to easily take credit for your work. I am proud of my&nbsp;work, will continue to use my alias, but will also acknowledge my creations, original ideas, articles, stories, and&nbsp;general goofy commentaries.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <em><strong>True confession:</strong></em> I am a &quot;Net-Wit&quot;&nbsp;flitting&nbsp;all around&nbsp;the internet, taking part in what I&nbsp;call &quot;mind squats&quot;&nbsp;and pretending to know exactly what I am doing.&nbsp; The truth is that we are all experts AND novices...exploring life and learning more every day.&nbsp; I&nbsp;love it here on divinecaroline.com so this is my primary residence.&nbsp; <br /> Cheekyredhead.wordpress.com&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and also&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cheekymindsquat.wordpress.com<br /> <br /> <em><strong><br /> <em><strong>Home Girl</strong></em><strong>: </strong>I am the mother of three very nosey teenagers, one of which is going to college with me.&nbsp; My husband is an angel here on earth, pampers me &amp; spoils me rotten.&nbsp; My favorite hobby is scuba diving &amp; riding my Trekke. I dance like nobody is watching--heck come dance with me if you want to!&nbsp; For every comment on one of my articles-- I do a happy dance!&nbsp; Seriously...make me dance people!<br /> <br /> <em><strong>Secret Activist:</strong></em><strong> </strong>A note about our oceans; choose a t-shirt instead of some little trinket with a dead creature's skeleton on it.&nbsp; A sea shell taken from the ocean is the death of a creature.&nbsp; Our lives depend on our oceans- it is the beginning of the circle of life as we now know it.&nbsp; If I hadn't seen the raping and pillaging of the ocean floor or myself I would never have believed it.&nbsp;I am the last person anyone would ever expect to become an&nbsp;activist or environmentalist.<br /> <br /> <em><strong>Odd stuff&nbsp;about an oddity--me:</strong></em>&nbsp;&nbsp;I danced on Soul Train, can touch my nose with my tongue, &amp; I love to paint.&nbsp; I am a proud United States Air Force Veteran.&nbsp;You will always find me surrounded either by family or the ocean.&nbsp; I like to make people laugh, think and smile. My goal in life is to foster change in education--making a difference instead of whining. I sincerely believe that problems are possibilities in disguise, they are the keys to the paradigm.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Good friends are like good wine, both require time.&nbsp;</strong><em><strong>&nbsp;I am here to give you some of mine.<br /> </strong></em><br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I welcome commentary--please share your thoughts.<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp;answer ALL my email personally.</p>
