Artemisia / Diana

I want a pink elephant named Jengo, a potbelly pig named Bacon and a bulldog named Fluffy.

About Me

I'm an accountant on the CPA slow-track that likes to salsa and hustle (no, it's not a *uckin' line dance) with the hubby of 15 years. My three adult children live on their own. I'm also a Reiki Master and believe in the power of positive spiritual energy and meditation. I enjoy adventure travel , hiking , dressing up like a pirate at renaissance faires , sewing and too much coffee for my own good.
