Love is the only key to every lock! We may forget we have it, but we never loose it!!

About Me

I am a Usui and Karuna® Reiki Master. For more information check out my website loveandlightreiki.com
Reiki *** Reiki *** Reiki ***
For a quick look at a project that I am honored to be involved with, check out Zulu's Fine Art . And yes, those are my eyes!
I love me.
I love my family.
I love my friends.
I love my cat.

I love my life.
I am a grateful alcoholic...
Life can be wonderful, happy, joyous, free, exhilrating, confusing, hard, raw and uncomfortable. Change and challenge don't need to go hand in hand. All change does not need to be a challenge. Just as challenges do not need to mean change. The only difference in the spelling is "l.l.e. love lost everywhere" if love is lost everywhere it's a challenge and not just change.

From "Me an Alcoholic?"
"After talking with him for a time, I heard myself saying, 'Doc, I think I'm an alcoholic.'
'Yes,' he said, surprisingly, 'you are.'
'Then why in God's name haven't you told me so during all these years?'
'Two reasons,' he said. 'First, I couldn't be sure. The line between a heavy drinker and an alcoholic is not always clear. It wasn't until just lately that, in your case, I could draw it. Second, you wouldn't have believed me even if I had told you.'"

My Interests

Reiki *** Reiki *** Reiki *** Living life live, meditation, reiki, yoga, laughter, family, tattoos, The Home Depot - can you smell the sawdust from here? I like to use tools. Am I any good? Well, no where near my dad! Sobriety must be included somewhere here, as mine is really important to me. Lucid dreaming, the astral plane. I'm part English and crack stupid, stupid, stupid jokes... and love it! I can't get enough of them and they make me laugh till I cry, out loud, in public. I know. I know. And I can't, nor do I want to do a damn thing about it. Curling up next to a fire is great. However falling asleep to the sound of rain delights me. Oh yeah, I like making cards for people.

I'd like to meet:

Grateful People!!! People that laugh and understand it's importance in our lives. Souls who understand healing comes from within. I want to share the experiences I'm living with someone. People that express their emotions and gratitude. People striving to live life in the positive!

Anyone that strives for progress not perfection!!!

Music:

Om ~~~ Om ~~~ Om ~~~ I Love it! My style, poetic, blues, country and soul with jazz and oldies in the background. I would guess that is what I sound like when I sing. The only theme song I've ever had is: Tell It Like It Is by Aaron Neville. In the past I've played the Gipsy Kings for everyone. James Brown is still the man . I love Kenny Rogers, Etta James and Ann Murray. While I do like a lot of different styles, Country Music resonates in my soul. I have an open mind/heart to lyrics/music and hear the part of me that is in the music. Putting John Denver and Placido Domingo together to sing 'Perhaps Love' is divine. Some other favorites are Harry "Nilsson Schmilsson", Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Jewel, Carlos Santana, Barbara Streisand, Billy Joel, B.M.G., Mr. Neil Diamond, Fiona Apple, Journey, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Billie Holiday, Elle (the lady) Fitzgerald, Nate King Cole, Ozzy, meditation music.... the list does go on but I'll quit boring you now. I would like some day to have a copy of every rendition of my favorite song (Amazing Grace) and sing the national anthem at a ball game!!!
I'm on Jimmy Kimmel = watching the Twilight Singers!!!

Movies:

Oddly enough, I prefer to watch movies alone. Way of the Peaceful Warrior Home made movies rock over all others, Rudy, Always, Crash, 8mm, The Princess Bride, Radio, Harry Potter, Lord of the Ring, Shrek, Somewhere in Time, Boondock Saints, Must Love Dogs, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Forest Gump, The Incredebiles, Monsters Inc., Off The Map....

Television:

Wow... D.V.R. I'm in trouble.
It's better enjoyed with a best friend, just like life!

Books:

Currently reading from the following authors, Deepack Chopra, OSHO, Dan Millman, Eckhart Tolle, Neal Donald Walsch. The Big Book of A.A. Anything and everything that makes you go "hmmmm"

Heroes:
