Live Each Day With Passion & Conviction

About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

.. ..I am basically the girl next door type, coming from a small town, but now living in the big city of Toronto. I have always been very independent, had an entrepreneurial spirit and am very ambitious. I do however, stop to appreciate the things that matter in life, in particular the small day to day things that can have so much meaning and can change the direction that I take in my journey through life. I think its important each day to take a look at where you are going, what you want to do and reflect on where you can make positive change in general or within yourself.I enjoy the entertainment world, in particular acting, singing and dancing. I have worked in the insurance/legal profession for almost 20 years and would like to tap further into the creative side to me. I am also currently writing songs to embark on a music venture of my own, which has always been a dream of mine.
Your Birth Month is May
Unique and creative, you seek your own path in life.
You love change and are able to adapt to any situation.
Your soul reflects: Sweetness, joy, and a complete life.
Your gemstone: Emerald
Your flower: Lily of the Valley
Your colors: Yellow, red, and green What Does Your Birth Month Mean?I have a brother that I love, have so much respect for and am so proud of. He has been an incredible support to me, in particular the last few years despite the challenges that have faced both of us within our lives. I have a step-daughter who is 17 that I adore, she really is and always will be my little angel, regardless of her age. I own two dogs that mean the world to me, without them, my life certainly would have been less joyful, I don't know what I would have done without them.
You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?I also do a lot of charitable work surrounding HIV/AIDS, in particular heterosexual transmission of HIV/AIDS. I am the founder of an HIV/AIDS organization called The Canadian Heterosexual Link. I am targeting and focusing on youth more than anything with my work, but will help anyone. We have a major epidemic here in Canada alone that is far from over and I intend to do what I can do to change that. In the future, I may put together fundraisers involving the music industry to help raise money for HIV/AIDS. If anyone has questions about HIV/AIDS, please send me a message and I will respond.I wish everyone reading this all the best.
Your Theme Song is Beautiful Day by U2
"Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away"
You see the beauty in life, especially in ordinary everyday moments.
And if you're feeling down, even that seems a little beautiful too. What's Your Theme Song?

My Interests

I enjoy everything to do with music, especially singing. I also enjoy going to movies, dancing, swimming, taking long walks, nature, my dogs and getting to know friendly and good people.I believe in giving back to the community and doing things for others, some of the best times and memories of my life have stemmed from these experiences :)

This song really touches me especially after I saw and heard him live and singing it with many of his family members around me just after his step-mom passed away too. The tears flowed from many in the audience but he sang it beautifully. This song is on his new CD called "Angel Down". He has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard and originally started out in Toronto, but now lives in New Jersey. Love ya Baz, always will!Wherever you will go - The Calling

SIGOURNEY IS MISSING

..Sigourney is one of Canada's Missing Children. She went missing from Toronto in May of 1993. She also happens to be the beautiful daughter of someone who means the world to me.Please take a look at the profile below to see if you may have seen her abductor (her mother) anywhere. The more people that know, the better. Sigi belongs at home with her father, brother and the rest of her family. Its been far too long.There will be more on my official website soon, if anyone wants to post this on their MySpace site to help spread the word, please let me know, we need to all work together to find her to bring her home. If you have any information or questions, please contact me. ..



..********************************************** .. Don't ever be afraid to say "I LOVE YOU", you may never get another chance again. The person that exists right in front of you, that understands you the most, may slip away from you forever.....

Music:

I am currently writing songs toward the making of my own CD in the near future. You are never too old to go after your dream...

This is my music promotional site that I get lost in all the time. Its a very busy site and I have a hard time keeping up. I am endeavouring to try to be in touch with my personal friends more in 2008 because all of you are simply fantastic!

MEG-A MUSIC TORONTO & INDIECAN MUSIC WORK TOGETHER. IF YOU WANT TO HEAR AN AMAZING ONE HOUR RADIO SHOW FEATURING CANADIAN INDEPENDENT MUSICIANS, PLEASE VISIT:
Please add this site, this gentleman is doing great things to help find Missing Children.Check out my music promotional site Meg-a Music Toronto (Top Friends or above), Josh is sensational and you can read about what I think of him on there.

Trinity Road is another great band from Toronto that touches the emotional side to me. These guys are all great people to know, Jeremy's voice is incredible.Antonio is 18 and he is AMAZING!!! An inspiration to anyone who reads his history and background with music at a VERY young age, performing in public at least by the age of 9, but playing since he was 2 feet tall.
Chantelle is one special musician at the age of 18, she can sing beautifully. She is also a sweetheart of a person, a shining star being discovered and deservedly so.Check the band Revolver out soon to be on my Top Friends, if you want to see a great performance and a great band, just attend one of their shows.
