Live life on purpose, or you will live life by accident.

About Me

I used to think I was a girl reinvented, until I realized that reinventing doesn’t stop. I’m relatively new to LA -- After a lifetime in NYC, I uprooted and replanted in September '05, and I’m lovin' my redesigned life. It took a lot of courage to start over, but it came together seamlessly, and I'm feeling happy, healthy and alive. It hasn't always been smooth sailing for me and there were certainly some points along the way when I felt like a shiny, silver pinball, getting flung in every direction. These days I feel like I designed the machine. I'm a bi-coastally admitted lawyer, an artist, a yogi, compassionate, affectionate, clever, independent, a bit clairvoyant, easy on the eyes, and funny. (And modest, of course!) I look very young, though I often feel wise. I live life with awareness, and I am amazed by all the coincidences, themes, and recurring people. The longer I live, the more I appreciate the impact of my attitude and outlook, and see that my intentions create my reality. My career is important to me, and so is my creative side. I love to paint, to cook, to host, and to write down the stories of my life. I believe that like attracts like, and that the more positively my energy vibrates, the more positivity I attract in others, circumstance and fortune. My path has had varied terrain, but every bump has made me realize that no door leads to happiness or unhappiness, and that both enter in when you ask them to.

My Interests

Yoga, painting, tennis, hiking, softball, traveling, backgammon, scrabble, the beach, and quality time with people I love.

I'd like to meet:

Heroes:

My mama. She spent 40 days in a Mississippi prison in the 1960s for ordering a cup of coffee in a "black" coffee shop during a freedom ride. That was her inspiration for becoming a lawyer, and then later a judge.
