i don't want the world; i only want what i deserve

About Me

this is me...on the verge of turning 41.
live in nyc - native new yorker and nice jewish girl.
love dogs. i think i may have been one in a former life.
practice and teach yoga at one of New York's premiere yoga studios (Yoga Works).
I have my own music and entertainment marketing company. I'm in a committed relationship and have the best girlfriend in the whole wide world.
trying to live life in the present moment and hoping to share that with everyone i come in contact with - especially my jewish mother who never lets me forget the past.
