About Me

MyGen Profile Generator I am an outspoken individual that will fight to the end for what I believe in and hold dear. I am blessed with a thoughtful, loving, and gifted husband who motivates me daily (by example) to express love and compassion for my fellow man. I am determined to leave the world a better place than I found it.Live music is an outrageous gift; I admire and respect talented performers. Creativity should be promoted and nurtured by all. I love to have fun and appreciate great live music...and damn I love to dance. I prefer to surround myself with folks from a wide range of backgrounds with diverse talents. Variety is the spice of life. Daily yoga practice has thoroughly enhanced every aspect of my life.

My Interests

Great live music, good food, yoga (LOTS of it!), wine, dancing, a good story, poetry, short stories over novels, laughing uncontrollably, campfires, hiking, and anything outdoors. I am currently addicted to Bikram and not looking for a cure.

I'd like to meet:

Nelson Mandela, Kofi Anon, Bill Clinton, Ben Harper, Tom Waits, Bono
