About Me

Originally from N.J. and have been living in Florida for 8 years now. Love it here. I am a case manager and work for a transitional living facility for women recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. Very rewarding but it's also easy to get burned out. I have a home-based business that I keep running for the extra money. It's not where my heart is though. My heart is in music. I have sung all my life and am a songwriter as well. I will be going into the studio to record my first demo and of course it will be on myspace when it's done! I have 2 sisters, 2 nieces, a nephew, and my parents who are still married that live in N.J. I love them so much and try to visit at least a couple times a year. Spirituality is very important to me and I constantly strive to be a better person. I've learned you can't keep what you have without giving it away. Actually I've learned a lot since I moved to Florida 8 years ago. Balance is so very important to me. Not great at it all the time but it gets easier and easier as time goes by to balance things in my life. Work, play, having time to spend with those I love, and time for what I'm passionate about(singing,songwriting,music) are some of the things that are important to me. I try to meditate at least once a day. For me things go so much smoother and I am more serene when I do this. I'd have to say that I'm a very passionate person and have always been a romantic at heart.I believe that we're all here to love one another and that's what life is about.
You Should Be a Musician
You have a rare combinations of talents: an ear for music, nimble fingers, and the willpower to practice.
You could master almost any instrument you choose to play (if you haven't already!) What Sort of Artist Should You Be?

You inspire each person to be an idealist and passionate, and you make each moment memorable

No doubt you are the one others have dreamed of... your biggest challenge is finding *your* dream lover. What Kind of Seducer Are You? fantasy layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com MyHotComments

My Interests

Love watching the sunrise. I love the ocean and being on the beach and especially love bringing Chloe my five pound Chihuahua to the doggy beach. I like jet skiing although I haven't been in a while and love movies-renting or going out. Watching live music whether at a bar/club or going to a concert. I like spending time once in a while at a coffee house(absolutely LOVE coffee). I also love candles and have them lit all the time.

I'd like to meet:

Most important-I'm not interested in dating anyone who does drugs-even pot. Friend wise looking to meet people that share the same interests as me, especially music:)

Music:

Where to begin. My heart will always belong to rock(classic, alternative, pop, hard), but I love all kinds of music. It depends what mood I'm in. One day you might find Mozart in my CD player and another day it could Nickelback or Godsmack. Seriously! I love Melissa Ethridge and Bon Jovi(2 of my biggest influences.)I like a lot of female artists probably because I am a singer/songwriter myself.Chrisina Agulera, Aretha Franklin, Pink, Alanis Morisette, Pat Benatar,Sass Jordan,Mariah Carey to name a few. I even like the 80's hair bands(please don't hold it against me)like Motley Crew, Trixter,Poisen. Country, dance, and even disco. I think one of the tightest and most talented Rock bands is Aerosmith and totally respect them as musicians and recovering drug addicts. I grew up listening to Def Leppard and Journey. My first concert was Journey!I try to be as open minded as possible with music and other things in my life. Let's see, New Age music like Yanni and others.

Movies:

Love scary movies. Now I'm not talking gorey. I mean SCARY. It's so hard to find a good scary movie though. I'm a woman so of course I like romances. I like comedies, thrillers, not too much into the cop/detective movies. I also like movies that have the arts in them. I hate a sad ending-I'm definitely like a kid-have to have my happy ending.

Television:

Don't watch a lot of T.V. but when I do... Never watched it when it was on HBO but for some reason I find myself watching Sex in The City re-runs(hmm...)When I feel strong enough I'll watch Intervention but always wind up crying because it is such an intense show and so touching to watch families try to save a loved one's life. I LOVE "Deal or No Deal" and the O.C.

Books:

I love reading books on spiritual developement and self-help. I usually have a couple books going at one time. Mostly non-fiction although I just got done reading a couple of Mitch Albums books-Tuesdays With Morey and The 5 People You Meet in Heaven.

Heroes:

Melissa Ehridge, Jon Bon Jovi(he donated $1 million dollars to the Oprah Winfrey Angels Network not to mention his positive messages in his songs that keep me going), Jesus(I don't go to church and am not part of an organized religeon but am a very spiritual person and respect his teachings), Emmet Fox(this man was amazing. It blows me away how far ahead of his time he was).
