MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN SONJA'S LIFE
GOD, MY FAMILY, OUR TROOPS, WATCHING MY CHILDREN GO OFF INTO THE WORLD WITH GOOD MORALS, VALUES, A DREAM TO FOLLOW AND THE KNOWLEDGE THEY CAN AND WILL SUCCEED…even if that dream changes several times...:)
REMEMBERING TO BE THANKFUL FOR....HEALTH. LOVE, HONESTY AND KINDNESS. APPRECIATION FOR AS MUCH OR LITTLE THAT YOU HAVE....NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS.
TO BRING A MOMENT OF JOY TO SOMEONE'S DAY...EVERYDAY.

THE NOTEBOOK, STEP-MOM, HOPE FLOATS, THE GUARDIAN, LIAR-LIAR, COLD MOUNTAIN, 8 SECONDS, THE PERSUIT OF HAPPINESS …AMONG A FEW OF THE
STUPIDIST MOVIES ? NOTE! THE ONLY THING I LIKE ABOUT THESE MOVIES IS THE LAUGHTER IT BRINGS FROM THE MEN IN OUR HOME ! JOE DIRT, SUPER TROOPERS, RENO 911 & MULLETVILLE ! (GOOD GRIEF)
SONJA’S FAVORITE BOOKS:
The BIBLE (Psalms & The Gospel), THE SERIES OF SMALL BOOKS ..."letters Home ‘Original Civil War Soldier’s Letters and Photographs"
SONJA’S HOT BUTTONS
HAVING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN FOOD OR MEDICATION FOR A SICK CHILD OR FAMILY MEMBER
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, LACK OF GOOD HEALTH CARE BECAUSE SOMEONE CAN'T AFFORD IT, AMERICAN FLAG BURNERS, DEAD BEAT DAD'S (OR IF THE SHOE FITS..MOM'S)... PEOPLE WHO MAKE FUN OF THE MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY DISABLED. THE LACK OF BETTER EDUCATION FOR OUR CHILDREN, THE LACK OF BETTER FUNDING FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIRFIGHTERS AND DRUG TASK FORCES.
SONJA’S PET PEEVES
FINDING EMPTY CONTAINERS IN THE FRIDGE OR CUPBOARDS. STEPPING IN DOG DOO, :) A MESSY HOUSE, NAME CALLING, THE WORDS, “OOH, I DON’T LIKE THAT” WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD, (THAT'S SOMEONE WHO'S NEVER HAD TO GO WITHOUT)...STEALING, LYING, GOSSIP AND DISLOYALTY.
SONJA’S PASSIONS
THE NEED FOR A CHARITIES TO HELP CHILDREN WHO FALL BETWEEN THE ‘CRACKS’ BECAUSE OF RARE ILLNESSES OR CONDITIONS…THEY ARE NOT OUT THERE LIKE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE.... MUSIC THAT MOVES PEOPLE …TOUCHES THEIR HEARTS AND AT TIMES, EVEN CHANGES A LIFE IF EVEN FOR A MOMENT.. THE NEED FOR EVERY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL TO HAVE A PARENT'S/FAMILY WING. WHERE FAMILIES CAN STAY AND NOT HAVE TO LEAVE THEIR CHILD.
