Learning new cultures, live music scene, speaking engagements especially with children. I'm very active with Muscular Dystrophy Association, American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, and now a board member with Mexi-carte Art Musuem and New Milestones Foundation in Austin Texas. New Milestones is a non-profit organization that partners with Austin Travis County Mental Health Mental Retardation. Our goal is to eradicate stigmas on mental illness and help folks with substance abuse.Other interests: listening to mariachis, hugs, eating pizza, watching the moon, spa days, a child's laughter, thunderstorms and sunsets in El Paso, Anthony Kiedis, mom's enchiladas, making someone smile, my plants, my boyfriend's soothing voice and his guitar picking on the couch, Austin Java latte's, dancing like no one's watching, going for red bull runs with my friend Jenny. My dad's unconditional love. My mom's strength. My sister's inner beauty. My brother's survival spirit.
