Yoga,fitness, sushi, wines, art-especially the French Impressionists, museums, FUN, nature, hiking, laughing, painting, drawing, smiling, being happy just being ME and driving the new Tucson

I'd like to meet:

Love to meet interesting people with a story to tell; Someone who has BEEN THERE and GETS IT; Anyone who is interested in HONESTY AND TRUTH. Anyone who is willing to lay it on the line with out the nonsense; I tend to gravitate to spiritual artistic types...kindred spirits. On the companion side: would love to meet a man with a sense of presence-who knows EXACTLY who he is; a man with soul & depth; a man with a sense of humor; a man who will explore with me; take leaps of faith with me; laugh hard with me; man with great hands!!

Music:

Anything new! Anything fresh. Kudos to 107.1 The Peak and WFUV for turning me on to some great stuff! Been listening to Keane, Aqualung, Jon McLaughlin, The Fray; Tori Amos; Augustana; The Killers; Guster; Pete Yorn; U2; KT Tunstall

Movies:

A Walk in The Wind--yes, Keanu is not an Oscar caliber actor but he was soooo good in that movie; Practical Magic--what woman doesn't love when Aidan Quinn says "I wished for you too"??? Recently loved-- A Good Year; Little Miss Sunshine; The Illusionist; Inconvenient Truth; Trust The Man, Peaceful Warrior

Television:

Grey's Anatomy; House; American Idol (guilty pleasure) Project Runway; Top Chef; Reruns of Friends still make me laugh; Gene Simmons Family Jewels is just priceless. Is anyone is watching Damages on FX!!???

Books:

Celestine Prophecy had a major impact on my life; recently saw the movie adaption and although it was not very good it reminded me of what is important.Eat Mangoes Naked--Sark

Heroes:

My sons. They are the spirit that carries me through. Both have been through a lot in their little lives and they are my inspiration for my perserverance. Like most amazing things, its easy to miss and easy to mistakefor when things are really great it just means everything's in its place.Aimee Mann--"I've Had It"

My Blog
