Laughing... learning...people...my girls...art and fashion...seeing the world...movies and music...books...clubbing/dancing...the why behind what we do...being an inspiration to my daughters...becoming a smashing success in my own eyes...finding others on my wavelength...the key to happiness...improving myself everyday...
Creative people. Thinkers. People with good souls. Old souls. People with direction. People with an offbeat sense of humor. I want to meet people who open my eyes in some way. Or make me laugh really, really hard. It would be fabulous to find old friends I've lost along the way...and make new ones...

Anyone with the courage to fearlessly pursue their dreams... My late great-aunt, Hella Broeske Shattuck, an amazing artist and creative spirit who left her legacy from Minnesota to California-- a free spirit in every sense of the word. My Aunt Mary, a fabulous artist and poet. My mom, the kindest person I have ever met, and Momma Nancy, who lived life with strength, gentleness, a deep sense of family, and boundless spirituality and conviction.
