Because I want to

About Me

It's just good online community etiquette!!! Look to see a person's status is and why they are a community member before you start hitting on them!! I'm happily married and here for Friends & Networking.Pardon the obvious ...Now for those who want to know about me, here's a bit:I'm married to a fabulous man, am a proud stepmother, have wonderful parents and some very special friends all of whom I love very much!I'm the Marketing Director at Maximum R.O.I. We offer business coaching for any department (sales team/call center/management/etc.) within any company/industry. We can help your company increase the bottom line.
I'm still creating and making things happen as time permits.My partners and I in Esprit de Corps, our dance troup, are itching to develop/write/produce/perform another show. We have done 3 performances at the Lizard Lounge It has been 3 years since we produced and performed Cirque du Soiled in the Carnal Carnival with a menagerie of great artists & performers, July 2004. before that, we did Vivir/Morir as an opening act for the Fetish Ball Nov 2003 our 1st show was Amelioration, August 2003. (photos for all three events can be found on the corresponding dates here )As of May '07, we are at the drawing board. One of our members will be moving away so we are more motivated than ever to do another performance. It will be simply smashing to be sure.In life I have found that I must find my way by looking from the broad spectrum to find the focus in the center. There are so many interesting and wonderful things to explore. I explore in order to discover the gems that refract the light and shine onto my path. I just have to take care not to be too distracted by their brilliance and loose site of the trail I'm blazing toward the center. And then there are the damp, murky depths where I must go spelunking to cast light upon.Oh and the many reaches in between! ... now that I've explained the broadness from which I draw my precision ... it should all make sense now ... or more confusion ... or caused a scurry ..."Change Your Mind. Nothing ever stays the same" Gary Numan ...
