About Me

"ANYONE CAN ATTEND YOGA, KABBALAH CLASSES, CHURCH, LECTURES BY THE DALAI LAMA, YADA YADA YADA- BUT CAN YOU BE PRESENT FOR YOUR LIFE AND LIVE WITH HOW YOU TREAT OTHER PEOPLE?? -Tori Amos I AM HERE. I AM HERE TO BE OPEN TO THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES + ADVENTURES + LESSONS. I AM HERE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT. I AM HERE TO HEAL, TO ALIGN MYSELF INSIDE AND OUT, WORK EVERY DAY TO BE THE BEST PERSON I CAN BE.**************************************** I BELIEVE IN PEACE IN THE FACE OF AGGRESSION. EACH TIME MY FACE IS SLAPPED I AM LEARNING TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK. DON'T GET ME WRONG, IT DOESN'T MEAN MY FIST DOESN'T CLENCH, BUT I AM GROWING ALL THE TIME IN MY COMPASSION. I BELIEVE AS A MOTHER THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE LESSONS I CAN TEACH MY CHILDREN.***************************************** I AM A DEEPLY SPIRITUAL PERSON. I BELIEVE IN THE GODDESS, IN HONORING MOTHER EARTH AND GRANFATHER SKY. THEIR HOLY UNION IS WHAT GIVES US THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN. I BELIEVE IN WORKING TOWARDS LIVING A LIFE THAT HOLDS IN RESPECT FOR THAT DELICATE BALANCE AND WALKS LIGHTER AND LIGHTER ON OUR PATH. I DRAW FROM MY CORE, MY SOUL CONNECTION TO MY ANCESTORS AND TO MY HERITAGE. I WISH TO BRING MORE AND MORE CEROMONY TO MY FAMILY'S LIFE. I EMBRACE MANY RELIGIONS. I LOVE MEDITATION AND YOGA, I NEED MORE QUIET IN MY LIFE AND HOPE TO INCLUDE THIS MORE. I AM INTRIGUED BY THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST, BUT I THINK HE WAS A GREAT PROPHET YET HUMAN, AND LOVED HIS WIFE MARY MAGDELYNE, AND THEIR CHILD(REN). I THINK PEOPLE WHO KILL BECAUSE OF THESE DIFFERENCES IN BELIEFS DO THE GREATEST DISHONOR TO THOSE THEY SUPPOSEDLY WORSHIP.********************************* ***********************************************************I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Hopeless romanticism, being in love with love, raising my beautiful daughters, listening to-writing-performing music, penning raw poetry, attending births, "anyway you like it as long as it's good" sex, delicious moan-inducing food, all things organic, Fair Trade, politics, social justice, good true loyal friends, movie rental junkie, things that make me laugh until I pee, traveling dirty and low budget as possible and seeing where it gets me, Big Mama Earth, absolutely anything outdoors. Getting into heated debates with intellectually stimulating people, sustainable living, dancing at clubs and challenging fools to dance-offs once i'm good and liquered up, partying till dawn whenever i can, painting mixed media that i hardly let anyone see, fighting to make up passionately, continuously meeting new and different people that are the real thing...

I'd like to meet:

ONE CHECKED OFF THE LIST... ***********************************************************A NYONE WHO IS KIND. ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SIT AND SHARE AND BE REAL. ANYONE BRAVE ENOUGH TO PUT DOWN THEIR ARMOR. ANYONE LOOKING TO HEAL OR WHO BRINGS HEALING. ANYONE WHO CAN LOVE WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. AND ANYONE WHO CAN GET ME BEHIND THE WHEEL OF AN OSCAR MAYER WEINER MOBILE. *********************************************** ************************************************************ ****** Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

Can the Real Ones please stand up?

As I move along in my process (yes Saturn returns, yes 2nd baby) I find myself more and more aware of the human limitations we all face, some more restrictive than others. Whether that be an inability...
