About Me

Fun, witty, crazy, cool, spontaneous, neurotic, intellectual, passionate, creative, spiritual, former podcaster, occasional insomniac who writes, paints (when the mood strikes), watches bad TV, reads everything from Jane Austen to Us Weekly and is trying to figure out this crazy world including when I'll find my soul mate, what I did before the DVR was invented and where I want my next vacation to be! ALICE MARIE: angels nearFrom a rockin' "It's Amazing" to the gratitude-filled anthem called "More," GoGirls Music says Angels Near is "one beautiful song after another complete with a stunning voice sure to please any music fan."

My Interests

Traveling, writing, reading, podcasting, entertaining, going to concerts, watching movies, roaming around NYC, people watching, attempting to diet and workout and anything else that comes my way to distract me from my goals and ambitions!
