I am most interested in people and lately, life in general has been quite a discovery. I am really interested in Rastafari and reggae music, people and cultures, families and individuals. I have recently become intereseted in mountain biking. I really love the reggae festivals that take place, mostly in California, during the summer. I wait all year to attend a 3-4 day show and it is the best time ever! I love the unity, the people, the message, the vibes and the one love baby! I love spending time with Erik, Shawn and our dogs. A perfect day is sitting by the lake's shore, swimming with the dogs and enjoying the outdoors. I love my family and friends and spending time with them.

I relate a lot of things in my life to music and below are some of my favorite musical quotes:
*"Did you kiss your queen today?
And did you hug your youths today?
To let them know you overstand.
And did you pray today?
And did you bless the brand new day?"
- Luciano**"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds"
- Bob Marley**"Your body's just a vehicle
Transporting your soul
And what's inside the people
Is beauty to behold"
- Damian Marley quoting his father*I love the music and lyrics of Ben Harper. They really touch my soul and I can relate my life to his songs in so many ways.
