About Me

That’s me just a few years ago, showing off the fish I caught at a family fishing trip and picnic. This is one of my favorite past times. I love fishing!

Me, now.

 

 

I’m editing this area About Me, just for Bird from Everyone Has a Story!  LOL!  Where do I start though?  You see, I’ve given my name at the bottom of each of my poems that I’ve posted.  So if you don’t know by now my name is Bonita, which means Beautiful in Spanish, then you haven’t read my poetry.  I’m finally a stay at home mom, after working from the age of 12 to the age of 49.  I have worked many jobs in my life, but the greatest portion was spent working as a theater tech, stage manager, and various other positions in the Entertainment/Theater field.  I’ve also worked in the food industry, education field, and owned my own novelty store for a short time.  I’m an avid fiber crafter, doing everything from crocheting to sewing, quilting, knitting, along with any other crafting I can find to do.  I even sold my creations in my store, craft fairs and craft stores.  I love to write, and have had some poetry published along the way, as well as some of my scripts performed in front of an audience.  I’m the proud (at times…lol) mother of 2 natural daughter, 3 adopted daughter, and 2 stepsons.  I also am a proud grandmother (all the time) of 4 grandsons and 1 granddaughter…so far.  I am the proud wife of a retired military guy…”Go Navy!”  But I have to say…”Go Marines” for my stepson, and “Go Air Force” too… for my dad, brothers and brother-in-laws who all are serving or have served proudly!  Yes…I’m a military brat, wife, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, stepmother!  I’ve lived over a half a century.  I play guitar, and sing, and in fact have a degree in Music/Vocal Performance with a minor in Drama.  I consider myself a “Jill of all Trades” because there is not much I haven’t done or can’t do…hmmm except fix my computer.  That I leave to my genius of a husband.   I don’t know what else to say…except the most important thing about me…I’m a Sinner saved by Grace!  Yes, I’m a Christian in love with the Lord Jesus Christ, who sacrificed his life for my sins on the cross, who forgave me, and has always loved me despite the way I am!

There you go, Bird…I’m no longer a mystery to you…lol!

Yes, I was a child once, and my mother had to force me into dresses! This is from my early elementary years down in Mississippi!

This is just for Bird…lol. From my time working theater and being a “Biker Chick”…lol! Sorry for the low cut, my daughter and I were at the beach, when she found a place on the pier where they did photos. She made me get mine done because it was the first day she had ever seen me smile. Wish I hadn’t been in the bathing suit, cover up and shorts when she decided to do it though…lol.
