Mama

I am here for Friends

About Me

Lordy Mercy! Well, I am just chilling...doing some organic baby farming. Got my two baby boys...beautiful and healthy. Got a veggie patch and herbs just right out my door. try www.dwell.com www.mothering.com www.bodyandsoulmag.com and National Parks: I subscribe to these mags or e-mags! I like to canoe on lakes most of all, no, well I've spent more time on rivers, well it's all good. I have boated (by raft or kayak) the Elkorn, ofcourse. The Ocoee, the Nantahala, the Tuckaseegee, the Chattooga (watch Deliverance), the French Broad. Laurel Lake, Lake Fontana, Lake Patoka (recently). I haven't boated the Dirty Bird (the Pigeon), or the Nolichucky. But, I am still young. I love talking to people about philosophy, spirituality, human rights, BABIES, and MAMAS. I love dancing. I love singing. I love traveling, and hope to resume doing so here soon. Although I have not stopped, I have been confined to the east and midwest the last three years. But, there's nothing like the Kentucky of my youth. Oh, I MISS the MOUNTAINS. They've always called my name. I am sad to be gone from them, although my spirit is still there. I love Pow Wows and ceremonies and I cry everytime I go and watch the elders dance. I love officiating Blessingways, but I get anxious beforehand everytime. I love writing.

My Interests

I am a SAHM (Work and Stay at home mom) I love being mama to my boys Wolfsion Elijah almost 3 years old (sounds like Wolf-sean, Cherokee for "kind Wolf" - Wayasion), and Shamus River, one years old, aka Hawk (Gaelic - Seamus). I like to read everything. I like to philosophize with my peeps. I love human rights, and I dislike lack thereof. I love being an advocate for women who want beautiful, unmedicated births, well any woman who gives birth the way she wants too. And I love advocating for women who breastfeed, anywhere, anytime! And yes, I use cloth diapers too. And when we don't use cloth, I use 7th Generation, cause they at least biodegrade. I love photography for the simple documenting of one's and others lives.

I'd like to meet:

Mahatma Ghandi, anyone who's living life and being humbled by it, any old joe or jane philosopher, anyone who has anything to say that isn't just chatter all the time...although I think I am pretty funny sometimes and I love cuttin' up! The Union ~ Boone, North Carolina ~ September 1, 2002

Music:

For the next Seven Generations: The Grandmothers Speak. Well, if I have to choose, I feel best when listening to reggae and bluegrass, and always something from the Dead. But I like The White Stripes, and some punk, Johhny and Willie, and gosh there's jazz and blues (Big Leg, Tight Skirt)... And ya know, I just discovered The Black Keys.
