About Me


How do I put this nicely? If you are interested in anything other than friendship or networking, seriously, don't bother me. I am in a very happy monogomous relationship.
At 40 I have a wonderful life and couldn't be prouder of my 19 year old son. I'm playing and writing music like crazy. Just started working towards haveing a graphics buisness and eventualy would like to open a community art center. In the last couple of years my art has taken a back seat to my music, but that's fine because for most of my life music (my absolute bliss)has taken a back seat to everything. I have also gone back to writing some fiction and poetry agian. That's good too because I have a book to finish that I started 8 years ago.
I am a kenetic ball of creativity waiting to explode with ideas most of the time. So I do sketch a lot to keep myself focused on what I am acctually working on. Unfortunatly, without encouragement I will find myself wandering to another project and eventually have five differant ones going at once. Starting is easy, finishing is hard. Music is the only thing I have ever focused on so intently that I finish everything I start and am very productively creative about.
Spirituality is very important to me. I'm not traditionaly Religious, however, I still believe in the basics and practice Amercan Indian and Celtic Nature based beliefs. I don't flash my beliefs in public much. I'm kinda low key about that. I have found that most folks really don't care HOW I'm spiritual, but they can tell that I am. If and when it ever comes up, they may be suprised I'm outside the box, but by then they know me well enough that they respect it.
I love the outdoors and nature. Gardening is a passion only because it so beautifully connects me to the earth and the life cycle. Concrete sucks the life out of me. Now that I live out of the city and in an area where there are 70% more trees than buildings, I am a very happy girl. Gotta have water around too. Lake, river, creek, or pond, it makes no differance. For the first time I live 100 yards away from a lake. I'm lovin' it!
Filling the void between parenthood and grandparent hood, is my cat Puck. Check out the photos to see the most addorable cat in the Universe. He's a Russian Blue with a little bit of ally cat thrown in. Prize winning show cat Mamma got out while in heat and this beautiful, very loving little heart breaker was the result. I was lucky enough to rescue him from the "You-Know-What" So I'm just hangin out in Ohio with my hunky fisherman and playing music.

Don't fence me in! You're an independent spirit that won't be tied down. What Breed of Puppy Are You?

My Interests



adopt your own virtual pet!

Music is right at the top for me. Photography, digital art, jewelry design, drawing, painting, and variouse other crafts are the ussual diversions. What really gets my creative juices flowin' is sculpting with clay.
But bar none, singing and writing music is and always will be my soul food.
This little earth mother likes to get dirty in the garden too. In fact the new moon nearest my birthday is always the signal to start those seeds for planting in spring.
I also do a form of Native American Tarot. People tell me I'm fairly accurate. I've only been doing readings for myself lately. Not a lot of interest in it where I live now (that I'm aware of)

In Memory of Pywakitt- my best bud and inner bitch

"You lookin' at me?" Raven- also no longer with us.

Puck- my disgustingly cute, empty nest, spoiled rotten, problem child. I adore him.

The beautiful and talented Tinkerbear
This was a toss up between Creativity and Love.
What Faerie represents your soul?
Faerie of Creativity-- You are the Faerie of creativity. You are unique, talented, and an individual. As an artist you create things from your mind. Whether you write, draw, sing, or play music you are creating art that will last through the ages, forever preserving your name and making you the closest to immortal any human can ever be. Beautiful, quiet, and mystical you are an enigma to others who simply cannot figure you out. You live for mystery and the unknown and are perfectly happy spending long amounts of time alone working on your masterpiece. Different from others, sometimes you think that you don't fit in or that you are better or worse than others somehow.

Heroes:

The Formothers of my lineage are all my heroins. My Grandmother Marion and Great Grandmothers Kaye and Bernice are closest and dearest to me. As each one left this world they became even closer to me. Kaye left this world befor I met her and Marion said she saw her mother's spirit always around me. My mother for never giving up. My sister Mary for showing me the way. Elizabeth Renfroe Forbes who, over 100 years ago, married against her father's will and helped her husband build a buisness. Today that family buisness still helps sustain a thriving economy in a rural Missouri town in the face of the Wal-Mart across the highway. Others are: A certain Indian princess, who's true life story is much greater and more couragious than the fictitious story of her thats' potrayed in books and movies. Oprah because of her commitment to shareing her wealth and success and always give back to her community. Also because she shows us women that no matter how successful we are, we can always look at how to improve ourselves and that we will always need your sisters. The passengers of Flight 93 are all my heroes (my love and a tear for each one).
