About Me


“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience."
~ Teilhard de Chardin
Calm and easy-going on the outside, a wickedly good sense of humor on the inside. Family and friends are the center of my life, they are both anchor and sail and I love spending time with them. Alone time is important as well and I tend to spend it on creative pursuits; writing, drawing, reading, daydreaming and shoe shopping ~ which is vital to the creative process :-).
I think that a life spent helping others is a life well spent. Whether friend or stranger I'm more than happy to give, not simply possessions, but of myself. Winston Churchill stated it beautifully, "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give."
This doesn't begin to cover all the facets and layers, but the rest can be discovered through time and friendship. :-)
“It's no accident many accuse me of conducting public affairs with my heart instead of my head. Well, what if I do? Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart, don't know how to laugh either."
~ Golda Meir
“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
~ Confucius
"Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
~ Saint Francis of Assisi
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced."
~ James Baldwin
“Character is doing the right thing when no one is watching."
~ J C Watt Marlene
"Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent." ~Victor Hugo

My Interests


Writing, Reading...I love words and a well turned phrase. Photography and Drawing. Motorcyles, don't own one, just like riding on them...the sensation of speed and freedom! The outdoors. Natural and holistic health. Cooking... and the list goes on...

I love the ocean! So what am I doing surrounded by nothing but hundreds of miles of land? :-)

I'd like to meet:

I'm always open to meeting people and making new friends. I'd love to connect with anyone who is into the creative side of life to talk, learn, laugh and share.


"And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."

~Kahlil Gibran

Music:


I listen to a variety of styles, genres and artists, and appreciate them all. It would take pages to list all of my favorites, but here's a start... Enya, Don Henley, Sting, Stevie Wonder, Coldplay, Stevies Nicks, U2, Sarah McLachlan, Evanescence, Vangelis, Joss Stone, Annie Lennox, Moody Blues, Santana, Eric Clapton, Maroon 5, Loreena McKennit, Dave Matthews Band, Eagles, Avril Lavigne, Aerosmith, Lenny Kravitz, Prince...

Movies:


Not so much into the mindless, blow 'em up, endless car chase kind of action movie, or horror movies, apart from those, my taste is pretty wide and varied. The Shawshank Redemption, Schindler's List, Memento, Red Corner, Sleepless in Seattle, Excalibur, Fargo, Zero Effect, The Hunt for Red October, Last Samurai, Ever After, Gandhi, The Russia House, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Above the Law, Heat, Blade Runner, Last of the Mohicans, By the Sword, Pirates of the Carribean (love Johnny Depp), A Simple Twist of Fate, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (just about any Steve Martin comedy), The Bishop's Wife, Miracle on 34th Street (the original version), Raiders of the Lost Ark...

Television:


Don't watch much TV but there are two shows that have me hooked. Lost and Grey's Anatomy. :-)

Books:


So many books...so little time :-). I'm always reading at least one book and sometimes two or three at a time. I read a variety of non-fiction and then there's the escape to the world of let's pretend. Again, a partial list because there are so many. Nelson DeMille, Ernest Hemmingway, Dave Duncan, Dick Francis, H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Terry Brooks, Shakespeare, Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game), Marion Zimmer Bradley (The Mists of Avalon), Deborah Crombie, Robert Ludlum, Dr. Seuss, Roger Zelazny...

Heroes:


My parents. Those who protect and care for others. Those who persist against any and all odds.

A child's world should be a place of security where they're lovingly protected and given the freedom and opportunity to grow, develop and receive the best possible start in life! Unfortunately, not all children live in such a world. The following friends at My Space are giving help and hope to countless children. I encourage you to visit their pages to learn about what they're doing and how you can help!
