My Interests

MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC! Love to sing it, play it, listen to it, dance to it, watch it, feel it, taste it! .....................TRAVELING! Anywhere & everywhere! I'm a gypsy by nature. ....so much to see & so little time. SEEKING! To remember who we REALLY are ....that is the journey.

I'd like to meet:

I have friends from all walks of life and they all bring something to the table ...........so I'm down to meet anyone. However, at the moment I am trying to surround myself with positive people who are moving forward in their life. Currently, I am in the research/development phase of starting up a recycling business. Any suggestions, pertininent information or contacts would be greatly appreciated. I also handle the promotions & marketing for D'vine Bistro & Wine Bar in Chandler. Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding events, promotional opportunities, catering, etc...P.S. Believe it or not (I know the "friends" list is a bit ridiculous) I only add people I know or respect, musicians, DJ's, & artists (for networking or just because they're the shit!)......or....... just really down-to-earth people! I think this site CAN be a powerful networking tool if used in the right context .............WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!!!! .................
