Born, raised, and still living in the same city, JJ believes in the closeness for family and community.  Sticking close to her Boston roots JJ believes she could not live where there wasn't an ocean - the place she finds her serenity.  With a great love of music, poetry, painting, and photography JJ continues to explore her creative side through all forms of art. 
 
A single Mom of two daughters who worked for many years in the Special Education field until taking on her most recent adventure as a public servant.  It's not unusual to see JJ at a rock concert one night and chairing a committee meeting the next. 
 
"It's just finding the time to do all the things I would like to do" JJ says, "Is a challenge for me now a days." 

Still taking it One Day At A Time JJ continues to create, cultivate, and challenge herself daily all the while SEEING YOU.

I SEE YOU

Central Africa’s customary greeting “I SEE YOU” is a brilliant recognition of the individual.  The standard American greeting “How are you?” is often said without regard to a true answer.  Saying “I SEE YOU” means you recognize another as a person, as an equal, as a fellow human being, and as a friend.

TOUCH

You touch me
I recoil
My skin
crawls
My mind
is not there
My soul
has left
My body
tense

You touch me
I gag
My lungs
pull air
My ears
can't hear
My eyes
wide shut
My skin
shreds

You touch me
I disappear

THE MAN
 
To the man in the white, grey, black and blue
It really doesn't matter
Because I can't have you
I often wonder how life would be
If we were together - you and me
Imagine
Just think
My head on your chest
Listening as I have in the past
To the smartest man in the cast
Of characters we have become
The circus the game
They are one in the same
And laugh
And think
And get inside my head
You'd make me feel good about myself
Confidence Peace Security
Are they things you bring to me
Then you would place your hands on my face
Plant a kiss on my lips and say
"I love you JJ" before you go away
But that's O.K. because you were never there
To the man in the white, grey, black and blue
Because I never can really have you.

MY GIRLS

Sometimes
I do underestimate you
I am sorry

Sometimes
I do over react
I am sorry

Sometimes
I do not understand
I'm sorry

Sometimes
I do embarrass you
I am sorry

Sometimes
I do not have the explanation
I am sorry

But
Always
I love you.
