To be born again, first you have to die

About Me

Surviving the past three years of losing my mother due to cancer, my cat (my baby) that I had for 17 years, the end of a 6-year relationship, my house, estrangement from my brother, and parting from my job of 21 1/2 years. I currently live with my wonderful "hanai" family until I decide where I will and can finally "hang my hat" permanently.

I've been a proud whole-blood donor since February 1991, and am now a very proud platelet donor. This is because my mother died of cancer, and because I'm also supporting my ex-husband and now-best-friend who is battling cancer as well. I so admire his courage and positive outlook, as well as my mother's bravery during her illness and final days.
I really enjoy taking nature photography with the convenience of my camera phone, whether it be at my current home, or whenever I'm out and about on this beautiful island of ours. You may view my current photos on my slideshow, and feel free to comment if you like. I also love to laugh, and make people laugh as well. Laughter is really the best medicine and sanity-saver, especially when you're going through life's many challenges.
I joined MySpace to have fun with my family and friends, and to make new friends as well. I do NOT play games so "players" no need to bother applying. I will not accept friends who send me comments I find offensive or just turn me off, and if you're already my "friend", I will delete you. NO bozos, dummies, clingers, baggage-carriers, or bed-buddy wannabes please!A Lil About Me...

I'd like to meet:

One day, if ever, I would like to meet "the one" who is sensitive, intelligent (brains definitely matter), has a sense of humor, can make me cry joyous tears, and who reciprocates the love and affection I give; one who sees the beauty within me, and not just the outside package. Someone who is also my best friend, lover, companion, support, and doesn't mind me acting a little silly and crazy once in a while, and would join me :) Humor definitely keeps me sane, and will always bring me smiles and laughter whenever I'm down or in an intense mood. Someone who doesn't run away at the first sign of disagreement and challenges, and absolutely no past ex-wife or ex-girlfriend baggage please...been there, done that, no more!I'd also love to meet Brad Delp once I reach heaven...where he's singing his heart out to God and all his angels.............

Music:

Mostly 60's thru 80's classic rock & pop. I like acoustics and ambient chill music, smooth jazz, and R&B. Boston is my favorite all-time rock & roll band with Brad Delp, the best male vocalist ever. I occasionally listen to Enya's music when I'm stressed and need alone-time to relax and chill. Otherwise, it's rock & roll baby!

"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." [Berthold Auerbach]..

..
THE BEST BAND EVER, AND MAN WITH THE GOLDEN VOICE...BRAD DELP...REST IN PEACE...
............................
"MORE THAN A FEELING"

"A MAN I'LL NEVER BE"

"AMANDA"

"HIGHER POWER" (SET TO MOVIE "GHOSTRIDER")

"HITCH A RIDE" - TRIBUTE VIDEO TO BRAD DELP

......................

Movies:

Some of my favorites are: Under the Tuscan Sun, The Bridges of Madison County, The Notebook, Scent of a Woman, A Few Good Men, The Shawshank Redemption, Titanic, Forrest Gump, Erin Brockovich, Immediate Family. I just LOVE THE MOVIES, especially on the big screen. Dramas, romantic comedies, "chick-flicks", and adventures are usually my choices; ones with strong and inspiring characters, and ones that make me cry.

"Life is a B Movie: it's stupid and it's strange, it's a directionless story, the dialogue is lame, but in the 'he said she said' sometimes there's some poetry, if you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally." [Ani Difranco]
............

Television:

I'm mostly on MySpace, but when I do watch TV, I like American Idol, Project Runway, Top Chef and Y&R. I generally like the Discovery Channels, Bravo, TLC, VH-1, and The Food Network.

"Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home." [David Frost]
..........

Books:

"Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus"; "Life on the Other Side"; "The Prophet", "For One More Day", "The Five People You Meet In Heaven".

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers." [Charles W. Eliot]..
........

Heroes:

My beloved mother; my sister, three brothers and all who serve(d) in the military who fight for our freedom; my co-donors at the blood bank, and people who help others less fortunate than us. The best gift you can give is the gift of life.

"What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal." [Albert Pike]....................
