About Me


More Care2 Stickies Here!
Peace Rally, Washington DC 01/27/07
Definition, Aquarius(air sign):
Aquarius waterbearers are fun loving and gifted with a dash of genius. They are seekers of truth, unbiased and open-minded. Aquarians are terrific communicator, neither conceited nor vain. They respect others' views and need to be needed. Rulled by Uranus, they are idealists with big dreams and causes to persue. Aquarians are lovers not fighters. Their bond is their word.
I am an Aquarian, old hippie with the BEST friends in the WORLD! Many of whom you will find listed here on MySpace. I hope each of you know how important you are to me and how much I love you ALL!
Staying in touch with old friends is very important to me. There is one friend I have known since we were 5 years old. He lives nearby. I keep tabs on others via emails or the occasional lengthy phone call.
My home is in a Historical (hysterical) district in Greensboro, NC. I owe it all to the love and support of the world's best Mother. Why she puts up with me is beyond my comprehension. I rent out two apartments in the house and after spending 33 months living with the world grumpiest old goat, I am grateful to live alone in the third apartment.
Since the Dude-ectomy, life has been grand. The universe has provided me with terrific new friends and the right amount of magic to transform what was a mere existence, into real joy, real peace and real living. I am happy to say my inner child is also still alive a well.
Men in my life should live by what I call the three C's of communication, co-operation and consideration. They listen, encourage, support, be spontaneous and also have an active inner child. most of all, they should quickly embrace all my friends and be the kind of person that has never met a stranger.
In my free time make art out of all sorts of materials, mostly copper. You will find pictures of some recent work in slides just below.

My Interests

Interests you ask?

Well............there are many. I am an ordained minister (you can call me Reverend Mother Yoda), Reiki Master Teacher, and 2nd Level Resonance Healer. Aromatherapy, herbs, nutrients, gemstones and most forms of alternative medicine interest me. I am studying to be a theta healing and hypnotherapy too.

But creating is my passion. I love to make things from anything. I work with copper and stained glass to make fun stuff for the home and garden as well as fancy decorative stuff too. The world is constantly providing me with new materials for art projects. I sew, knit, play guitar a little, and paint sometimes. You should come do your Christmas shopping at my house in Nov. We have a blast visiting and partying in the back yard during the show.

I'd like to meet:

The people I would most like to meet are Oprah and Maya Angelou. Richard Brautigan might have been interesting to meet too but he is long since gone so I read his books instead. When it comes to learning, there are lots of people that I would like to study with...perhaps one of them is you?

Music:

Although it is hard to say what style I like best, I can say I have a limited appreciation for rap, hip-hop,Pop, heavy metal, country and opera. There are exceptions to most rules however and I do have an open mind or at least try to keep it open.
Punk Rock and Alternative Music stuff from the 80's is great sometimes, especially when I work at the computer. I also enjoy meditative,new age and world music.

Some of my favorites are Van Morrison, Patty Symth, Joe Jackson, Grateful Dead, Annie Lennox, The Smiths, Psychedelic Furs, Poi Dog Pondering, Blues Traveler, Bela Fleck, Alaman Bros., Santana, awh heck....I guess when I get down to it, I really like most music......you play it and I will listen...... at least till I can't take it anymore. It's a mood thing ya know.

Movies:

I'm cheap when it come to spending $$ on movies. I'll wait till they are on TV.

I went to see "Water" last summer. Good flick! Classics are great too like Citizen Kane, Singing in the Rain, African Queen, Cleopatra, and Ben Hur. SciFI and fantasy films are awesome too. X-Men, Star Wars series, Lord of the Rings, Braveheart. Then there are the action flicks like James Bond and Die Hard.

Television:

Keifer Southerland's 24 is totally awesome. Being an info junkie, I like the History channel, Discovery, Nat. Geographic. etc. I am not much for sitcoms or the comedy channel and please don't give me the golf channel. I do keep up with the CBS Soaps but don't watch them daily.If I only had a brain that could concentrate, I would read all the time. I really love books but cant focus on the content is all.

Books:

The book on "Hippies" Christina got me for Christmas. Anything by: Richard Brautigan, Tom Robbins, Kurt Vonnegut, Doulas Adams. I have a large reference library of herbal and natural healing books, Reiki and energy healing books, art and craft books, cookbooks I seldom use.

Heroes:

My mom. She's not crazy like some moms are. She's the best!
