It starts with civil and animal rights. Moves onto music & dance, raw food veganism (Raw food at DETROIT EVOLUTION LAB), Sashafarm animal sanctuary, Rumi, writing, astrology, oceans and wanderlust...I travel a lot, very involved with animal rescue/rights/and rehabilitation, teach and perform bellydance in the U.S. and Europe, am a working journalist, and doing what I can to leave a positive mark in this world...I'm still updating this.
Friends who offer positive new ideas - to move higher or deeper, anything but stagnant....Civil & Animal Rights activists, all the musicians/dancers/writers/artists, philosophers, and the goofey.
