I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

About me: I simply love life and music, and I enjoy spending time with people who share this same "passion." My philosophy is that there are no guarantees for tomorrow, so it's important that I make a difference in the lives of others while I can. I am a deep thinker, and enjoy meeting other positive thinkers, and new people who inspire me, and challenge me to grow (and I for them.)I am a spirtual seeker, I am a true Pisces, I am a lover of art and things of beauty, I can "see" things in people that other's cannot easily "see," I do not just "listen" to the music - I can "see" it as well, I am the oldest dtr of 3 girls, my father's name "really is" "Burley", I am a country girl @ heart, it takes very little to make me happy, I can dress up with the best of them & I am stubborn enough to get down & dirty and (at least) try to do what any man can do. I am a world traveler, I have lived the corporate world as a technical & legal writer and a computer analyst, I have a black cat and a pomeranian, I grew up in the country riding horses, I used to sing "show tunes" while I rode, I was the field commander in h.s., a basketball cheerleader, a school TV news anchor, performed in plays sang in choirs, and played instruments. If asked the question, beach or mtns? Definitely the mountains! Work on the land or play?Definitely work on the land until it hurts. My greatest life lesson? "RADICAL ACCEPTANCE"...
