My Interests

Speaking of life- other things I love are connecting with people in respect, integrity and childlike innocence and fun. I love being with my son and watching him grow into his own gorgeous self. I love being outdoors! Yes, as well as eating alive I love to breath alive, speak alive and be a witness to the beauty of life. I love running on the beach, challenging myself mentally, physically and spiritually, through invigorating yoga of body, mind and soul. Oh, and very important, I love to laugh, listen, cry and most of all just be present to wherever it is that I'm at in any given moment.

I'd like to meet:

Other beautiful, respectful spirits, who choose life, love, abundance, peace,and integrity. People who want to refine the world through every moment into it's greatest potential. Beings of optimism, awareness, self respect and self love. Those who greet success in every aspect of their life with open arms. People who want to come together and be fearless in facing the challenges we're presented with and overcome in truth and honor for all of creation.

Music:

I love a variety of music the most important thing to me about it is two things, One-positive lyrics and two-that it moves my body to dance or my soul to sing. Favorites include Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Shimshai, Michael Franti, Bluegrass, Diva Primal, The Waifs, Krishna Das, Jimmy Buffet, Drumming, and soooooo much more.

The Secret is my most recent favorite. I also love any movie that makes me feel in love with life and glad to be alive. I'm a sucker for romance, comedy and dancing movies. Ix-nay on the Iolence-vay.
