Finding my center, learning my purpose, seeking balance, writing poetry, camping, hiking, collecting heart shaped rocks, rustic lodges, all that is Autumn, long road trips, antique shopping, vintage jewelry, Roman, Greek, chapel & cathedral architecture, going to cars shows to get ideas on what to do with the hot rod, psychology & sociology (wanting to know what makes people tick). The occasional Mai Tai, Bloody Mary or white tequila shot with a beer chaser. Things that smell nice, I'm always in search of the perfect scented candle or a new perfumeA few issues that are important to me on a personal level: My mom was a schizophrenic if this disease affects you or someone you love check out www.schizophrenia.com, it has been a saving grace for me.Also fifty percent of women in the U.S. are living with verbal abuse & intimidation, that means five out of ten women YOU KNOW. If you or someone you know is ,please visit www.geocites.com/misogynon. Finally, "Sad but true: thousands of perfectly healthy, loving, homeless cats and kittens are put to sleep annually in the U.S. alone. Whether because of superstition, prejudice, or simply because they blend into the shadows in the back of the cage, black cats are statistically less likely to be adopted than more brightly colored felines."

Those who are present enough to see through the density of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments and definitions that block all true relationships. Those who provide soul nourishment, instead of sharing the junk food of the ego that leave us in the fog of our unconsciousness. Those who realize that the transformation of the human consciousness is no longer a luxury, but a necessity if we are not to destroy ourselves & everything else on this magnificent planet. Those who truly understand, that the time is now and we must be the change we want to see in the world.
