About Me

I am "Mama" to the most amazing baby boy from Guatemala. I am so grateful for everything in my life, especially my friends, who are my chosen family. I believe in peace, love and forgiveness. If you piss me off, which is hard to do, you'll know it right away. I don't carry grudges, it takes too much energy. I have no enemies that I know of. I speak enough Spanish to be dangerous. My legal drugs of choice are music and dancing, especially on road trips. I am very political and believe that if you don't like the state of the country/world, GET INVOLVED. YOU CAN'T BITCH IF YOU DON'T VOTE!

My Interests

Listening/singing/dancing to music, yoga, travel, art/literature, politics, making this a peaceful planet.
