I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Healing-Spirituality-Truth-Creation-Movement-Art. Love to dance, sing, act, write and listen to poetry. I love to travel! I love food way too much!! I would say Indian and Thai are my two favorites but I can throw down on just about anything. My favorite color is green. I have many associates but my circle of close friends is small and tight. I appreciate spending time with loved ones. I am an only child (with half siblings I hope to meet one day soon) but I know that I am blessed to have a world full of spiritual brothers and sisters all over the globe. I am also a massage therapist and I am really good at it. I am studying at an awesome school which teaches a massage technique based on Tai Chi and mind/body healing. So if anyone is in need of some TLC, hit a sista up!! The most important thing to know about me is that I am a baha'i. The Baha'i faith is my continuing guiding light and inspiration and has deeply shaped who I am and how I think about the world. If you don't know about it, ask me or check out www.bahai.org. We are in need of so much positive change and healing, and I am constantly praying for our planet and trying to be a spark of light, an inspiring dance, a smile, profound poem, a prayer.....for this physical world we live in. ..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5

My Interests

The Baha'i faith, being present to family and friends, the performing arts, particularly, different forms of dance. Yoga. Spoken Word. Lime in my water and my coke. Making people laugh. Black soap. Shea butter. Falling asleep to the rain. Traveling around the world. So far, I have been to Alaska, Israel, Turkey, Bulgaria, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Italy, Namibia, Mexico, Cuba, and Senegal. Most importantly, I am interested in serving and loving humanity in whatever ways I can. Here is a video of me and some friends dancing in Senegal at Germaine Acogny's school, l'Ecole des sables. ..

Freedom is not a matter of place. It is a condition. I was thankful for the prison, and the lack of liberty was very pleasing to me, for those days were passed in the path of service, under the utmost...
