About Me

Belly Dancer who is hoping to transform the world? Or is that Executive Coach who belly dances to reduce stress and because it's my way to justify the pretty costumes? Or both? Deep thoughts and a love for pretty shoes? I guess that would make me a GIRL?
But don't let the sparklies fool you - I have been everything from a sales girl to a caterer to the Controller for a litigation support company. I have two college degrees and am working on two more! Have traveled all over world and want to travel more. Have an amazing son (if I could only talk him into getting out of Ninja mode and learning to the dumbek!) So, as you can see, I am so much more than meets the eye!
And they wonder why I can't find have a husband!

I'd like to meet:

Yee Gods and Little Fishes! This could be a long list!
Adrian Paul because he's yummy. But also because the man not only has a brain, he can dance! That is a combo too good to miss! I think Margarita's and a good debate about Shakesphere would be jsut the ticket to an interesting evening;
The Reda's. Because I have pledged to be ready to teach men how to belly dance when we move to London in 2 years;
Clive Barker. The man has an amazing mind;
Johann Seb. Bach (Hey, no one said they had to be living!) Because he was amazing composer, a fantastic member of the communicty and an incredible husband and father. We could all learn from him;
Belly dancers, musicians, writers, people who are interesting.
Okay, that's not as long as I thought it would be. But I have met many of the people I have always wanted to meet: The Dali Lama, Norman Vincent Peale, a couple of presidents. Lots of writers;
More later;

Music:

Middle Eastern, Alternative, New Age, Big Band, Jazz, Some Pop Rock (depends on the song / band) Fusion, and some SCA / Punk.

Heroes:

My son

Getting moved from the nose bleed section to the Pit simply because the belly dancer can't stay in her seat when there is music playing. . . Need I say more? {{{HUGS}}}
