About Me

Heureux les fêlés, car ils peuvent laisser passer la lumière. . .I was born in America, but I'm really a French girl, so. . . I moved to Paris, France May 2007. It was my dream and then the dream owned me and I surrendered completely. I love you french people, I love this language and natural way of being. Okay there's a lot of great things about American culture, but overall the French are doing it better. My humble opinion.

My Interests

* French writing *dreams* body language* acoustic guitar* Greek Mythology* pantheism* I Ching* symbolism* meditation* chakras* ashrams* secrets* Agape Spiritual Center in LA - Michael Beckwith* Bodhi Tree* French anything --- Paris everything * India* Budhism* Taoism* going to basketball, baseball, and hockey games* trees* kindred spirits* extra salt on my margarita* bloody mary sundays* vodka* thick rich beer* mmkay ALL booze* the psyche* Medeival philosophy* Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir* yoga - Bikrams* sweaty cardio* movie commentaries* Rat Pack* Blackjack* feng shui* the theater -Favs are Rent, Chicaco, and Caroline or Change* smaller theater groups* zodiac* synergy* coincidences/synchronicity *flirting* electricity between people (that's what god is)* transcending addictions* overcoming denial* messages from the Universe* all paths to god* BMW Z8* Rose McGowan is the most gorgeous woman* red, purple, & gold* Trader Joe's* eating with my fingers* Greg Maddux* giving gifts for no reason* generosity* the reliable and enduring* five oclock shadows* men in suits* being passionate about work* being dominated* meeting people's families* Craigslist* East Coast mentality - Boston/NY and the people who live there

I'd like to meet:

People who aren't afraid of themselves. People who laugh for no reason. People who change my perception and show me things I didn't see before. People who can shut their minds off and know when to turn it back on. People who make up their own words. People who call me out on my shit. Please tell me when I'm lying to myself. People who don't make me guess what they're thinking. People who know what their name means, or have somehow signified it for themselves. People who love the loving. Existential detectives. French people. Anybody who is still reading this. I wanted to meet Dane Cook, and then I met him, and now I have an amazing fabulous dreamy story about it. .People who live by this code- because I want to: "When you come to the edge of all the light you have, and must take a step into the darkness of the unknown, believe that one of two things will happen to you: either there will be something solid for you to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly." --Einstein

Music:

*Electronica* Ambient* Groove Salad - internet radio!* most songs played acoustic become better songs* still love Depeche Mode since I was 11 * Sigur Ros* Cold Play* Incubus* Dave Matthews* Ben Harper* Moby* Bjork* Radiohead* Flock of Seagulls* Beatles* Cirque du Soleil* soundtracks from Broadway* Sarah Brightman* Orb* David Bowie* The Police* Fleetwood Mac* Fugees* Lauren Hill* Jay-Z* Busta Rhymes* Outkast* Third Eye Blind* Jewel* Tori Amos* Martin Gore* I love *Dust in the Wind* Madonna* you can keep country* somebody PLEASE explain heavy metal to me, i feel like i'm missing out on something great and i just don't get it, like sushi.

Movies:

movies aren't just for watching, they are for participating, they are interactive *Amelie *Sin City* Nightmare Before Christmas* Stranger Than Fiction* Monty Python and the Holy Grail* The Machinist* Meaning of Life* Shawshank Redemption* Office Space* The Jerk* Fight Club* Kill Bills* The Secretary* Captain Corelli's Mandolin* Rent* King Pin* Boiler Room* Chicago* Swingers* Huckabees* Leaving Las Vegas* Zoolander *Mighty Wind* Artificial Intelligence* Pay It Forward-Haley Joel Osmen t is the most amazing actor and little human being* Legend of Baggervance* Truman Show* Before Sunset* What the Bleep Do We Know* Steve Martin and Nicolas Cage in any role. The paradigm of the Law of Attraction and *The Secret* but I was really disappointed in that film. I love French movies in which I can see my house. . .its easy since I live on by the Seine by the Grand Palais

I'm the one with my head in the book on the métro* I love words* language - a key to the Oneness* if you speak more than one language I'm impressed by you* "Autobiolography of a Yogi"* Eckhart Tolle* Neale Donald Walsch-all of the Conversations* Arnaud Desjardins* Orson Scott Card* Anne Rice* Thomas Moore* Douglas Adams* Richard Bach* Carl Sagan* Caroline Myss - Sacred Contracts* Gary Zukav* Deepak* Rollo May* I-Ching* Eva Pierrakos* my first French book - Le Petit Prince

Heroes:

Beatrix from Kill Bill Anybody who can do this: "Pour pardonner, laisse venir à l'intérieur de toi la personne tel qu'elle est, dans tout son horreur. Après, comme un sculpteur, comme un peintre, tu commences à la changer; la visage, le corps, l'attitude, etc. . . tu la fais comme tu voudrais qu'elle soit. Ensuite, toi-même, tu entres dans elle. Tu la mets comme un vêtement. Si tu fais cela a l'intérieur de toi, l'extérieur, elle va changer. C'est une sorte de méditation. Quand on fait un changement à l'intérieur de soi, les choses bougent à l'éxterieur. On n'est pas separé du monde." CURRENT MOON moon phase How to forgive = To forgive, allow the person to come inside you, exactly as they are in all their horror. Then, like a sculptor, like a painter, you will start to change them; their face, their body, their attitude, etc. You make them as you would have them be. Then, yourself, you enter into them, you put them on like a garment. If you do this within yourself, what is on the exterieur will change. It's a kind of meditation. When one makes an internal change, the external world will change, too. We are not separate from the world.J'honore cet endroit en toi, dans lequel demeure tout l'univers. J'honore cet endroit en toi qui est fait d'amour, de confiance, de lumière et de paix. Quand tu es dans cet endroit en toi, et je suis dans cet endroit en moi, nous ne formons qu'un seul. . .
