I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm an unreasonable woman living in the realm of possibilities. I'm also a fierce thinker and debater but kind of heart and spirit. My integrity casts aside violence, extols freedom, and demands self-responsibility.
Some of my favorite things include reading cookbooks, studying history and politics, being an audiophile, taking care of my pets, sewing, plants, photography and relaxing.
