Like anybody I'm not perfect, and I enjoy facing, learning, and healing myself to become the best person I can be during my journey through everything and nothing. I'm a Reiki Master/Practitioner so if you would like me to send you, your pet, or your plants energy healing, just ask and it will be given (free, of course)!!I don't belong to any one religion or faith, but I believe all things are one and everything we do or are is connected to everything else that exists, including chaos.I created and currently moderate the Maryland Faerie Festival myspace page.
