| Introduction | To live is the rarest thing in the world, most people just exist. Quoting the genius of Oscar Wilde ~ I find much of his writing potent, yet simple. He is candid, which can be offending to some, but I like him! Ok, a little About Me: Gone skydiving, pretty amazing experience. I love music, poetry, dance, pilates, nature, long walks, jigsaw puzzles, fine wine, movies, my job. Love the sound of waterfalls. Love Europe and plan to travel there. Love Kisirean, our CI child. I like the way hot yoga makes me feel. Being w/awesome friends is hard to beat! I can be quirky & random, silly & fun, or serious & contemplative. There is a time for everything. At times,I tend to live too close to the edge... makes life...interesting! I like to be around people who can make me laugh & smile, not downer people with sour attitudes & grumpy hearts. I love the Lord! Without Him I can do nothing,I am nothing. I give thanks everyday for what He has done in my life & how He is always there. I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. Oh, and I have two amazing sons! They are the best thing that has ever happened to me...and I thank God for them everyday!! |
| Interests | Someday in this lifetime I plan to swim w/dolphins. I hope this happens sometime sooner than later. I adore animals, especially the wild ones. I enjoy being in nature and taking walks in the woods. Around the neighborhood I like them to be power walks, in the woods I just want to explore, listen to the noises and breathe in the air! Daydreaming is essential. I love to dance...learned ballet & modern dance, but modern dance was my forte and my love and that led me to yoga. I like to travel and hope to get to another continent in the next few years. Europe is high on my list. Instead of living vicariously thru someone else, I prefer to take on the adventures & experiences myself! Somethings though, realistically & financially, cannot be done, at least not at this time in my life (I am a mom & a wife, I cannot just jump on a plane or a train on a whim or go explore the world for a few months). This is why reading is a wonderful thing and where some things are better off living vicariously thru the authors and their stories. There are many things I haven't done yet tho, that I hope to be able to do before I leave planet Earth! |

Noah and the Whale - Blue Skies, Mumford and Sons - EVERYTHING they do, Metric Their CDs don't feature any of their acoustic, but wow, they do a fine job acoustically and I wish they would put out an acoustic album.
