About Me


"Be the change you want to see in the world" ~ Ghandi
Music, writing, exploring the unknown (internal, universal), volunteering and my two little boys are my greatest passions. My life is a strange balancing act between Mommy, Tech Geek (aka software Product Manager), Amazon Goddess, Promoter, Nocturnal Creature, Eternal Student and Basic Freak of Nature.
Music is what fills me and nourishes my soul. I am very blessed to have many talented people in my life. Brightest of which is Peter DiStefano .
Peter is an amazing man and such an inspiration! He introduced me to CHLA (Children's Hospital LA) and The Art of Elysium where we volunteer our time and his talent to bring a little music and sunshine to children in the hospital. Peter and I also have worked with the ABC Trust - benefitting Brazil's orphaned, sick and lost children. The Trust was founded by Jimena and Jimmy Page.
Outside of music, my soul seeks guidance and light from volunteer work. In addition to The Art of Elysium and the ABC Trust, I also volunteer with the YMCA/ARK program in OC, working with kids in foster care from abused homes.
Another obsession is Art and Creativity for Healing in Laguna Niguel. They offer art classes and seminars to adults, teens and children suffering from abuse, illness, grief or stress, helping them to express and process their feelings using color and motion on canvas.
Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile
Albert Einstein

As for the ID: I love Art, dancing, Goth clubs, velvet, sci-fi, deep-dark-bass lines, philosophy, chocolate, hot tea and conversation, jasmine, roadtrips, the ocean, silence, chaos, B-movies, old horror films, Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi, Marlene Dietrich, pinstripes, astronomy, long walks on short piers, peanutbutter and jelly, cooking, baking, playing SnuggleBunny, writing (prose, lyrics, fiction), learning - though I can't sit still in a classroom environment. I'm a vegetarian but don't try to convert the carnies in my life (meat-eaters or circus folk ;).
Things I could do without: 'Dubya', inaction, masked intentions, narrow minds, okra.
You scored as Dante Alighieri. According to you most of humanity will spend at least some of their afterlife in hell. You have a high likelihood of being exiled, but anyone as bloody fucking romantic as you deserves what they get. You have an exceptional moral code, overshadowed by the fact that you yourself cannot uphold it.Your existence bears a definite irony, although of fairly Christian morality, many pagans, satanists, communists, and intellectuals admire you and your works for all the wrong reasons.Also, the brighest star in your sky is never going to be your lover...It takes a lot of grief to be the cartographer of hell.

What Pseudo Historical Figure Best Suits You?
created with QuizFarm.com
You Are Edward From "Edward Scissorhands."
You are very shy and often misunderstood. Innocent, sweet, and artistic, you like to pass your days by daydreaming and expressing yourself through the arts. You are a truly unique individual. Unfortunately, you are quite lonely, and few people truly understand you.
Take The Johnny Depp Quiz!
You Are the Swedish Chef

"Bork! Bork! Bork!"
You're happy and energetic - with borderline manic tendencies.
No one really gets you. And frankly, you don't even get you.
But, you sure can whip up a great chocolate mousse

My Interests

What are you goddess of?
You are the Goddess of Night. You are much differant than the Goddess of Darkness, you are beautiful and full of passion and life, but you often stay locked inside yourself. Chances are that you're a poet or other artist, and create beautiful works. Some people are drawn to you and others perceive you as a freak, but don't listen to what others have to say, just listen to yourself. You have a passion for words and chances are you love Shakespere and the like. You want to surround yourself with people who accept but often feel like nobody likes you, but remember that's not true, and you have a lot to offer, just believe in yourself. As for love, you are either too trusting or you trust no one. Guys are stupid, unless you find one that will see you for who you really are and not how others percieve you. You tend to either one extreme or the other, hardley ever in the middle. Just listen to yourself and you will go far. Rock On
