Life's not a dress rehearsal.

About Me

To My L.A. Family:

Each of you, in your own unique way, is a constant inspiration to me, and I'm so grateful you're in my life----- even from afar. Time and distance do not diminish our bond, or my love.
I'm committed to "being here now," each day putting down little baby roots to bloom where I'm planted.... as much as I miss the comfort of your presence and the warmth of your embrace.
Know that I hold you in my heart, always. I would not be the same without you, nor would the world.

All my love, Ivy

The fashion show is back:

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

The unspeakably amazing souls who grace my life. Case in point:

dancing like no one's watching, music, birth, mother earth, unconditional love and her infinite modes of expression, nonviolent communication, random epiphanies, psychoneuroimmunology, dreams, Central Park, creating space to breathe while flying lightning speed

I'd like to meet:

Fear, and watch him shrink into oblivion.

Music:

Equal opportunity: the vulgar, the classy, the mainstream, the revolutionary. I credit a few angels---you know who you are---for bringing me up to speed with the stuff that rocks my world and keeps me (semi) sane.

Movies:

Earthlings, narrated by Joaquin Phoenix

Books:

Anything by my extraordinary Momma Kate Hovey, author of: Ancient Voices, Voices of the Trojan War, and Arachne Speaks. Currently reading: The Art of Living, by Epictetus

Heroes:

My gorgeous sister Ellie, the most stunning creature on this planet of earth. Yes, this would be my baby girl who recently informed me----via text message---that she got a nose ring. Guess she gotta grow up sometime!

Wings of Desire

People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterwards repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from Reality than before. Your desir...

That's the Secret?

While I don't necessarily espouse all the following views, I found this perspective to be poignant, thought-provoking, and eloquently stated. It's a Letter to the editor, from "Whole Life Times" Janua...
