About Me

I'm easily amused.

I hope to one day learn Arabic and become a proficient "belly" dancer.

I am a holistic nurse and a Reiki Master practitioner. I have been a student of Tai Chi since 1997 and hope to one day learn Kali Escrima (Philippean martial art.)

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interested in/practicing holistic health and/or Complimentary medicine. Anyone who loves REAL music (if you have to ask what that means, then you don't qualify *smile*)

Music:

I listen to all types/genres of music, including Appalachian Reggae! Don't laugh - it's wonderful music! I've even been known to belt out a Patsy Cline tune every now and again!

Movies:

Anything that makes me laugh! Alfred Hitchcock movies, The Great Escape, and The Magnificent Seven.

Television:

My current favorites include: Monk, Psych, Heroes, Law and Order, Law and Order: CI, 24, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad!, King of the Hill, Stargate: Atlantis, Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Medium.Mind you, I don't watch a great deal of T.V., but I have many video tapes waiting to be viewed - lol!!!

Books:

Anything by Octavia Butler, anything by Kahlil Gibran, the entire Dark Tower series by Stephen King, The Stand, Dune, the entire Bunnicula series, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, This Present Darkness, Piercing the Darkness, The Complete Jesus, The Purpose Driven Life, Radical Acceptance, anything by Pema Chodron, especially Comfortable With Uncertainty. As you can see, my tastes in books are as ecclectic as my tastes in music :o) This list does not include my favorite professional journals or texts.

Heroes:

My grandmother, God rest her soul. All survivors of sexual abuse who are now thriving and living life defiantly! Anyone courageous enough to be an active & involved parent.

Sometimes Good-Byes Really Suck

Good-byes are difficult enough, but when they happen at oh-dark-thirty, that doesn't help. The alarm going off at four am came waaaaay too early, and certainly helped kick my anxiety into gear. Why an...
