About Me


Addicted to this idea that something is ABOUT to happen IS happening to me. That whatever it is, is just around the corner (the thing that's going to totally consume me.) Frequents driving ranges, kicks ass at mini-golf (but has never gone to a golf course)..... and i (unnecessarily) overuse parenthesis. Trust in the Infinite... Have Faith in the Outcome... Be Open to Receive! oh yea, I run an eBay vintage store, love me deux check it out: click.
I've been supporting myself through my one girl operation for over a year. I'm a lucky lil' bird :)
I get a kick out of her...

My Interests

Feist - Mushaboom

Add to My Profile | More Videos "You have to live spherically - in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm - and things will come your way." - Federico Fellini Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y "How do I get love? I have it. I must drop my definitions of love. Love is not saying nice things to people or smiling or doing good deeds. Love is love. Don't strive for love, be it.I love because I love. -Prather Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y i reeeeally reeeeally like popcorn for breakfast, coffee, hardwood floors, law & order (dun-dun!), road trips, vintage slips, yoga and pilates, lee and eve lithographs, gig pity kitties and puppies, personal growth, organic living, metaphysics and philosophy, religious science (not to be mistaken for scientology), cold weather, miles and coltrane, starting over, british accents, iron chef, old buildings... ...new york city, vintage gunne sax, old bottles, garlic (lots and lots of it), ebay, summer rain, bowie, readymade mag, that 70's show, boots (all year round), piaggio scooters, albert einstein, red wine, pineapple gummi bears, and rubber duckies. i reeeeally reeeeally don't like being tickled. Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing. -Ernest Hemingway Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y
My Soul I will be what I will be--but I am now what I am, and here is where I will spend my energy. I need all my energy to be what I am today. Today I will work in rhythm with myself and not with what I "should be." And to work in rhythm with myself I must keep tuned in to myself. Today I don't want to live for, I want to live." -Hugh Prather "I am nobody's disciple. I don't belong to any belief system. I love people from all over the world and I never compare them. They are all unique: a Zarathustra is a Zarathustra, a Mahavira is a Mahavira, a Buddha is a Buddha, a Jesus is a Jesus, a Moses is a Moses... they are so unique that you should not make one of them a criterion that everybody else has to fit with. " -Osho Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y "If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It's very important to be aware of them every time they come up." -Deepak Chopra Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." - from "Conclusion" to Walden by Henry David Thoreau "Let us first be as simple and well as Nature ourselves, dispel the clouds which hang over our brows, and take up a little life into our pores. Do not stay to be an overseer of the poor, but endeavor to become one of the worthies of the world." - from "Economy" in Walden by Henry David Thoreau “You may say that I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one, I hope someday you'll join us, And the world will live as one.” – John Lennon ‘Imagine’ Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y No matter what happens always keep your childhood innocence. It's the most important thing...

questions to ask yourself, regularly
