| Introduction | I am a single mother of a 9 year old adopted son from Guatemala. I used to do a lot of other things;TV producer, on-line education producer, White House Travel Office coordinator..but I went back to school, got a master's and now work as an art therapist with adults, families and kids. I love my family and friends, good conversation, being outdoors, finding and experiencing wonderful places in the world and keeping an on-going dialogue with my spiritual self. |
| Interests | Film, attending arts events, making art, skiing, hiking, traveling, reading, watching Dancing With The Stars, dancing, eating out with good friends, eating in with good friends, playing with my son, talking with my far-flung family and friends on the phone. |
| Favorite movies | "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?","The Station Agent", "Pay It Forward", "Moonstruck", "An Affair To Remember", "Being John Malkovich", "En Vie une Rose", "Spirited Away", "Good Will Hunting", "Schindler's List". |
| Favorite music | Right now it is listening to all things hip-hop, as a result of my 9 year old being in charge of the radio. I like female vocalists of all kinds, Emmy Lou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Cheryl Crow, Etta James, Dixie Chicks, Alicia Keys. I I am a sucker for James Taylor and love Lyle Lovett and Willie Nelson but also Paul McCartney. |
| Favorite books | What I am reading right now, "Eat, Pray, Love". Anything by Pema Chodron and Ken Follet's "The Pillars of the Earth" as well as Sidney Poitier's latest "Measure of a Man". I liked "Buying The Night Flight" by Georgie Ann Geyer for the freedom and guts to work crazy and as a kid I loved Margaret Nenry's "Sea Star" Orphan of Chincoteague..cried for days. |
