"I will not be just a tourist in the world of images, just watching images passing by which I cannot live in, make love to, possess as permanent sources of joy and ecstasy." -Anais Nin
About me...I'm just happy. I'm at a point in my journey where I am simply grateful to "be"!. Everything else is gravy! As I evolve spiritually I have discovered the beauty of living in the moment...every moment.
In no significant order...
I love to feel the sunshine on my skin
I pray...often...I don't subscribe to any particular dogma...my own spiritual practice is pretty eclectic...I simply recognize the presence and power of a God who loves me and everyone else just the way we are...I love my church, Unity Fellowship Church and our Bishop, Zachary G. Jones
I love the peace and stillness needed to create beautiful pottery-oh, and I enjoy making the pottery!
I enjoy a good, hearty laugh and flashing a sincere, joyful smile
I love color...the beautiful colors of stained glass, they are pieces of art in themselves, but I more enjoy cutting them up and creating stained glass mosaics
I am a proud bookworm, books are my joy!
I am a student of the planet and am looking to travel more
I'm a crafty sista who LOVES to knit...I love earthy, luxurious yarns married with funky patterns
I believe in the power of energy healing...cures are clinical, healing is really what we all need to live well
I am an activist, on small and larger scales...it all starts with someone simply standing up for what they believe is right
I love Love LOVE to dance...was a dancer from age 3 to 18 and love to sweat it up at the club erry now and then! Or take in a performance of various dance companies. I am a PROUD alum of the Venettes Cultural Workshop...and experience that has helped shaped me into the woman I am today.
I am an avid indie film consumer...I am a big supporter of independent media and indie artists...the power should always remain with the artist, not the industry
Music feeds my spirit...always listening to something that will make me think, make me cry, make me wanna hit the dance floor
This list is ever evolving...
