I enjoy reading, drawing, singing and sewing

I love reading non-fiction novel and religious literature. Meditating on what I've reading is what I love to do. I am captivated by the stories easily true stories. When I am drawing I find myself in a quiet but calming place full of tranquility. Singing has been a lifelong hobby of mines. I've song in talent shows to singing in weddings. I started singing as a child as well as sewing. I love alternating clothes to making an evening grown. I find myself escaping any stressful situations and finding a calm place in my surroundings.
