I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


I'm a published author and occasionally, I hop across the desk and moonlight as an editor. I'm also a web designer and programmer, I develop online courses, and I teach at Virtual University...and, a long time ago, I often appeared in stories about the "World's Top 20 Psychics Predict" in The Star and other tabloids. I had to take a break from that (it's a long story), and computers have been a pleasant escape these past few years. I'm happily married, and I live 90 miles north of Santa Barbara, California.

My Interests


My interests include writing (nonfiction, fiction, scripts), web design and programming, teaching, day trading (stock market); anything involving the Psychic, telepathy, empathy, premonitions, predictions, mind over matter, New Age and Aquarian Age teachings, the power of positive thinking, meditation, I Ching, divination, astrology, numerology, herbs, natural healing, dreams, astral projection, auras, reincarnation, past life recall, Karma and other Universal Laws, Holistics, Satori (sudden enlightenment), ancient religions and rituals, Egyptian, Roman, Greek and Chaldean mystery schools, Sufism, Buddhism, Wicca, Zoroastrianism. I am a Science of Life Practitioner, and I have been active in psychic circle work for a very long time.

I'd like to meet:


Great thinkers and writers of ancient times such as Socrates, Galileo, Marcus Aurelius...but they've all gone on to a better place so maybe I'll meet them later.
