Savoring Samsara

About Me

The lessons just keep coming and it is my intetion to stay up with the power of my stream *smile*. My favorite to dos: reading, yoga, hiking with my dogs, traveling and especially taking road trips. I take at least three 5,000+ mile road trips a year, that's a lot of thinking time...good for the soul.I split my time between Santa Fe, NM and San Diego, and, yes...I am that girl from The Apprentice. I have 4 big pound rescue mutts who are awesome (most recent addition is Eddie, got him over Thanksgiving), and if you want way too much information about me check out www.AndreaLake.com. I also throw fire torches, use to pay the rent that way when I was a kid.

My Interests

Worldwide off the beaten path Travel, Reading, Yoga, and creating new Business Models.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who loves what they do & is driven in their own field.

Music:

So time to redo the music, I am completely obsessed with Rodrigo y Gabriela right now, don't waste another minute. Go download them immediately. Also settling in with old faithful Ray LaMontagne, AND I completely love the radio show This American Life (does that count under music?).

Movies:

Hmmm..what now? I really liked Kung Fu Panda, little kid movies, learn from the masters, they mostly have more fun than the grown ups, eh?

Television:

I'm traveling all summer, so no TV, but I will be recording all of the new season of TapouT *smile*.

Books:

Ask and It Is Given by Jerry & Esther Hicks, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand are my two favorite books. And my secret hidden talent? I read the Harry Potter Books out loud with different voices for all the characters...quite a privilege to hear...much to the delight of my friend's children.

Heroes:

My Parents: a military man & a waitress who made good on the American dream.
