Bleeding Heart Liberal

About Me


I am a single mom to the most amazing 5 year old to walk the earth (no, no bias here;). Wow.. I never knew love like this existed. She moves me beyond words. She makes me laugh and cry, she wears me out and hypes me up, she reminds me everyday of the beauty that surrounds me. She inspires me to fight the good fight; to continue the struggle for her rights and mine; ensure her future and that of the world.My sense of humor blends a mix of sarcasm and cynacism, I go easy on few. I've learned that the best way to deal with life is to laugh at it. If you can't laugh at yourself and the hand you are dealt you're in real trouble. It would be sad indeed to die old, bitter, and unfulfilled.I play guitar, working on the new Pink/Indigo Girls tune Dear Mr. President right now, also love The Beatles/John Prine/Buffett with a margarita close by is ideal.. on the deck of a catch, or at least a day sailor docked or tied off in some isolated tropical cove surrounded by great friends would be the extreme dream! (and yes, for the record I can sail it) I am out spoken, but also know when to keep my mouth shut. I am informed but recognize when I need to listen. I am forever a student, and a teacher. I am a story teller, a song singer, a gift bringer.

My Interests

Politics, Liberalism, Progressives, US Constitution, 5 year olds (mine in particular but I like all of them;), Air America Radio, Randi Rhodes, Mike Malloy, Rachel Maddow, Russ Feingold, resource conservation, peace, bringing our troops home NOW, cats, fish and flowers.
I Am

I'd like to meet:


Like minded progressives working to retake our hijacked country from the Bush crime family and hold accountable those responsible for high crimes against humanity. To join in my fight, that is, to fight to good fight. To work together to rebuild a broken system and return honesty, integrity, tranparency and accountability to government. To grassroots our asses back into the majority and then kick some repiglican ASS!What I'm Looking For:
The little things:10 minutes of quiet time. Letting the sun hit my face. Making someone I love laugh. Tickling my munchkin. Snow days. A pedicure. The smell of dirt when I garden. Watching the birds. Good Bourbon. Ice in the ice tray. Breathing ocean air. Chocolate and peanut butter. Watching my daughter play her guitar. Fresh Egyptian cotton bed sheets; extra fabric softener. Wild flowers. Making love to someone who makes me laugh. Picnics. Tinkering at my guitar. A full moon. Making someone I don't know smile. A beach sunrise. Stories with my daughter. That look she has when she really 'gets' it. Christmas morning. Sleeping in on Saturdays. Getting up early on Sundays, because I want to. An empty laundry basket. Cold nights with heavy blankets. A non-fattening Caramel Machiato. A new Presidential Cabinet (and President), okay, that ain't so little. Thunder Storms. Winning Lotto numbers. Transporters (Where is Scottie when you need him?!?!) A good nights sleep. Black pants with no cat hair on them. The perfect pair of jeans.
