Music is my life. No matter what shit comes my way, I can always find a song to cheer me up or get me going. It's more powerfull than any drug!
My spirituality (in it's many forms) also gives me the fire to keep challenging myself!
Others - vintage cartoons, Scrabble (bring it on!), duckpin (and regular) bowling, playing pool, thrift stores, singing, makin' jewelry, craft shows, traveling, writing, swimming, classic video games, LP's, creativity, time spent with bright souls, meditation, midnight movies, the moon, good pens, Myrtle Beach, fairies, collecting old zines, chasing my dreams...

Heroes:
My husband Jay - always loving and kind, he truly swept me off my feet! He is my rock, my companion, and just gets me like no other man could. I am proud to be his wife and look forward to many years of happiness together.
My Mother - the embodiment of love and life. She passed onto me the thirst for knowledge that grows with each season. She is the light and beauty of my life. A mother, confidant, and a great friend to me and countless others. She has the most beautiful voice and supports me in so many ways.
My Father - served in the Army, attended college, tells wondrous stores of his life, and has always been supportive of my artistic vision and accomplishments. He lives a hard live with severe disability, but his mind remains strong and loving despite the pain and suffering he endures.
My grandparents - though they have passed, I feel them watching over me, and I only hope that they are proud. Both lived lives of hardship and pain. My grandpa's love of nature and my grandma's beautiful mind have helped me in realizing that anything is possible.
Tracy - you know why - but I just wanted to thank you once again for always being a constant source of love and laughter!
and also - Mel Blanc & Tom Robbins - two extremely talented people who have given this world great works for all to enjoy!
