Odessa enjoys theatre, museums, concerts, writing poetry, singing,and dance(mainly observing). I've been performing most of my life-just not professionally. Finally, I mustered enough courage to pursue my passion by joining a dance/performing arts company. Now I have a haven, with an amiable bunch of bohemians that allow me to express myself through song, spoken word, comedy and drama; more importantly, participate in the enrichment of lives through entertainment. I support the local arts community by greeting theatre patrons as an usher.
My corny, inner child gets excited over trivia and board games. S-h-h- Don't tell anyone that I study the dictionary before a Scrabble match. Yes, I'm a sore loser. What else? Festivals, casinos, traveling, exotic foods,juke joints.
I'd like to meet:
Bonnie Raitt, Patti Labelle, Nicholas Cage, Pam Grier, Bill Clinton, Shakira, Donald Trump, Jamie Foxx, Hillary Clinton, Debbie Allen, Ellen DeGeneres and Natalie Cole at the same dinner party. Just Once.
Music:
I LOVE most music (closet DJ). The Seventies is my favorite musical decade ...my vibe is Funky Disco, Smooth Jazz, Broadway Tunes, Classic R&B or Soft Rock. My fantasy is to become the ultimate versatile artist: I want to take voice lessons from Phoebe Snow, learn piano from Alicia
Keyes, watch closely as Sheila E. plays the drums, practice a few dance steps with Debbie Allen, contemplate my next poem with advice from Maya Angelou, and for guitar instruction--I prefer Doria Roberts, of course, I'm a slow learner ;)
Movies:
Catch Me If You Can, Color Purple, Titanic, Purple Rain, Memoirs of a Geisha, Sparkle, The Bodyguard, National Treasure, Crooklyn, Brokedown Palace,Claudine
Television:
Law and Order- SVU fan (M. H. is hot). I'm too busy working in my corporate cubicle or enjoying life, so I don't tune in often. On TV Land, I like M*A*S*H*, I Love Lucy, The Andy Griffith Show and the Twilight Zone. I could survive watching just the local news, The Travel Channel, cooking shows, or The History Channel.
Books:
Most recently, I've read books about these artists: Ava Gardner, Billie Holliday, Quincy Jones, Cleo Laine, Ethel Waters, Pearl Bailey and Lena Horne. Non-Fiction books on different cultures are intriguing to me. Also, I'm drawn to the pagentry and tragedy of Russian History. Learning to lift my head from the pages to find excitement on my own block is my personal challenge! I'm working it out...
Heroes:
Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Mohammad Ali

You are The Moon
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.
