I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

If you haven't already noticed I have two passions. One is EMS/Fire/Police and the other is what I consider(to each his own)good music. Since being on Myspace I've met some great folks in Public Safety and some very talented up and coming muscians so I'd like to dedicate my page to networking among Public Safety folks and promoting new artists. Since I am meeting new folks all the time my "Top 40" will be changing as new friends are added with the exception of a few.That having been said a little more about me. I have been in the "people business" most of my life. I have a background in Substance Abuse Counseling both in private rehabs and the NYS Dept.of Corrections. I have served as a disaster worker with the Red Cross on several national disasters. I worked in the Emergency Room at Woodstock '99 and the past five years served as a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician. Life is a wonderful, sometimes mysterious, adventure and these are some of my fondest experiences; having two wonderful daughters, my daughters' weddings, working with prisoners and addicts, volunteering, spending time alone with nature, attending Ramones concerts, road tripping through Texas and Lousianna, attending Mardi Gras, and working the ER at Woodstock '99. Now I'm looking forward to my next adventure whatever it may be!

Sarah is a staunch advocate of preserving North American wildlife in its purest form.Sarah devotes her time, energy and resources to provide care and rehabilitation for injured and orphaned wildlife and other animals.Her goal is to successfully return the animal back to its native environment.Some birds are not releasable but are kept in captivity if Sarah can provide a quality life for them. These birds become ambassadors for their species and help to educate and inspire people to appreciate these wonderful creatures.Plan your summer and fall events by booking a Bird of Prey Education program. Learn about these magnificent creatures that soar the skies, break the silence of the night and maneuver like a fighter pilot, up close and personal. It’s fun and educational for the entire family. Break out of the mundane; Bird of Prey programs are great for corporate and private picnics, parties, festivals, cub scouts, camp events, schools and more. If you are interested in booking or would like more information on the Bird of Prey Program please contact Sarah McDaniel at [email protected] How to Donate to 'Sarah's Love Wildlife Fund': email Sarah McDaniel: [email protected] out Dianna's video...the owl is Fortuna and Sarah is the handler.

Music:

My greatest passion is music. It reflects the feelings and attitudes of the times. I believe music is one of the greatest historical accounts we possess. And it makes ya feel good too...unless you are working in the ER at WOODSTOCK "99 but that's another story!

Movies:

Young Frankenstein, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Rocky Horror, all the Muppet movies, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Shrek 1&2, Pirates of the Carribean 1&2, MIB 1&2, all the Harry Potter movies, all the Thin Man movies, classic B&W and musicals.

Television:

That's easy...Law and Order, Law and Order CI, Law and Order SVU, Scrubs, House, and Turner Classic Movies.

Books:

The One that matters.

Heroes:

I'd have to say my two daughters.

Poetic musings

Every now and then I get inspired to write poetry but usually just keep it to myself.  Today I feel inspired to share :0)  The Child Heart From nothing to everything from everything ...
