About Courtney

Where are you from?...
I was born in Chicago Heights IL

Where were you raised?...
I was raised in Crete IL by my adoptive parents.

What types of things are you into?...
Above all I love to help people in any way I can. I believe I was given gifts to do so.  I love art (obviously),crystal healing, nature, music of all genres, reading, learning, tattoos.

What inspires you?...
The unknown.  I have a fascination with anything unknown.  Metaphysical, astrological, extraterrestrial etc.  When I read and learn about the unknown and try to make sense of things, it comes as pictures in my head. Inspiration.

What types of things in life do you feel makes it special?...
Love. Giving. Hope.  I was blessed in this world with two sets of parents who have always shown me to love everyone and trust that the universe has a way of working everything out for the greater good. If everyone had hat kind of faith and hope I believe this world would be a much simpler and beautiful place to be.  Everyone has the ability to make life special. You just have to learn to look beyond all the nonsense.

What are some of your goals?...
Always to help people.  If, by some great miracle, I was very successful at this, the majority of my profits would be used to create art programs for kids.  The importance of creative expression has been put aside and given no emphasis in the school system.  I would love to teach the next generation the beauty of creative expression.  Give them an outlet. In my neighborhood, the kids have no outlet.  They turn to drugs and violence as their expression which leads to no where but pain for alot of families.

What make you so you?...
Good question.   I didnt meet  my biological parents until I was 18.  Then all of the sudden I knew why I was the way I was.  I wasnt anything like the folks who raised me. Not that there was anything wrong with them, I just never felt like I belonged.  When I met my biological mother, Iknew I had seen her face a million times in my dreams.  We are so alike its almost scary.  And my biological father didnt know I existed until I was 18. But when I got to know him I knew where certain personality traits came from as well.  It was like I fit. I belonged somewhere. Creativity, I believe, is a heretic gift.  I now have 4 beautiful and talented children of my own. I only hope that who I am is inspiration enough for them to follow their hearts and reach their own goals....hopefully before they get to be my age.
