Give me a coney!

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

About Me

Hello. I am Trisha. I grew up in Ferndale, Michigan (1st burb North of Detroit). I had a fantastic childhood with excellent parents. They made sure we had everything we needed. But they also raised me thinking the simple things in life were all we needed! I thank God for both of them every single day. My father passed away in 2002. RIP dad. My mom is the best. She is my friend as well as my hero. I have many, many good friends in Michigan that I miss so much. I love them all. I moved to California 5 years ago. I love living here. Totally different then Mich. No Coney Islands! No cider mills! But, now I have the ocean and near perfect weather (if you like constant 70's-80's every day). I go to the desert a lot. Love the heat. I am very spiritual. I don't judge others. Not my place! I am very open minded and think outside the box! I have the best boyfriend. We appreciate each other and have a very nurturing, peaceful, intelligent relationship. He "gets" me and visa versa. People think he's quiet! If they only knew!! Some of my passions are running, my motorcycle, cooking, reading spiritual or food related books (even cook books), sitting on the patio with a glass of wine and reflecting, camping, listening to music. My daughter is so important to me and I miss her so much now that she moved to Las Vegas. We are best friends. For anyone to know her is a privilege. She is amazing and will go so far in life. Be in the "NOW" Don't look to tomorrow when today hasn't yet finished. Each day is a gift to cherish. Don't rush it! Be well and be positive!
