Rhonda's Story
Life
Okay so most of you don't even remember me... I am Rhonda "Riley" Batchelor. I have been on a hiatus for the past 30 years or so. Yep the bad kid in town who just couldn't conform to the "World as we knew it". So I have made an effort in my life to see everything. Well try at least. I have to say life pulls out the worst and best in all of us, and to let you know I have become one of the best people I know.LOL Seriously now I have just recovered from many ups and downs in my life. My youngest son had committed suicide in July of 2004. I have tried to over come this tragedy by placing myself in a whole new direction, so I moved across country from Georgia to live in Washington once more. I went to stay with my aunt in Spokane. I then made another move 8 months later to NY. Talk about cross country traveling!
UPDATE: This past year on August 22, 2007 my oldest son (28) passed away after a year battle with leukemia.
I am now working on some independent film projects, and I am a cable television producer
I have lived all o...Expand for more
ver the U.S. and have enjoyed life as much as possible. I consider myself to be a Jane of all trades because I have done so much in my life thus far. From working with Ringling Bros. Circus, to bar tending, modeling, Massage therapist, Cosmetologist, construction, mechanics, interior design, florist, A Crafting specialist, event planner, and more. I have volunteered so much time to others and community I think there should be a retirement fund.LOL I learned that fund raising is a fun and exciting way to meet people and be inclusive to individuals that you would normally ignore.LOL WOW what a trip! This thing we call life. Oh and when I went to "discover who i am" I discovered "who I am not."
Also I decided a long time ago I don't care what someone might think of me, it is more important what I think about myself and project that instead of what someone wants me to be.
So in closing I hope that all of you that I went to school with will somehow find your joy in life, and if you have a moment drop me a line just to say Hi!
