Music,vocals...writing... Art...everything. I write as well poetry, stories and shorts. I love camping and nature...just the sounds of nature I could listen to all day. As for my writing.. well I do tons of it all the time really. Much of it is stacked in piles and file cabinets all around here. As for my art.. that too is all over the place here... I draw to help calm myself from the stress of life you know. I love climbing and just taking in all the majesty of the wilderness.. not being able to hear cars roaring down highways and the noise of people clattering is something I truly love.
Mark Twain, Einstien, George Clooney(hehe), Ralph Fiennes(HUGE FAN of his). Just original thinkers... people with heart and soul and that really care about the fellow man. People without some agenda to every person they meet or will meet. Just real honest people... sadly for me.. I have found this to be a hard thing to come by.....

Heros... hmmm.. my father (rest in peace daddy), Christopher Reeves (for pushing to help others even in his own time of need and because my daddy also fell to the same fate), Alice Walker (for being outspoken as a female writer and being able to write from her soul), My Granny (for being a strong woman, yet fragile in her ways, always being tolerant and open to all people), My kids (cause they have given me more love for life than I will ever be able to describe and they are my true reason for being), and finally Mrs. Nora (my third grade teacher, she was the only person in my childhood that took the time to really teach me and help me grow some confidence when I had none, thank you!) Also, human beings ... we have come a long way..lol
