About Me


My name “Karrie” is Old French for “melody” or “song.” That couldn’t be more perfect, since music has always been a big part of my life and I love to sing. I also enjoy writing as well as capturing the beauty of life through photography. If you want to know more about me, I am a big cat lover. I also love to travel and explore the world whenever I can. One of my biggest dreams is to go to Italy. I love learning about different cultures. I love to smile and laugh and have fun. I love to dance in the rain. I love sunsets and find myself always taking pictures of them wherever I go. I have been faced with cancer and am still going through challenges, but I still live life to the fullest.

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 difficultYou 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?

My Interests

I love music and am an opera buff. I love to sing, write and do photography. I am a big scrapbooker. I like to do basically anything that involves creativity. I love being on the internet because there is so much to learn and do! I love butterflies, which are are very inspirational to me. And of course I love taking care of my 4-legged kids. ;)

I'd like to meet:

David Blaine...I seriously want to meet this guy!! :) I also always enjoy meeting new people, old friends and singers. Send me a message and let's talk!

Music:

My heart is in classical and opera, though I also enjoy a lot of other things, like pop/rock. Some of my favorite singers are Cecilia Bartoli, Renee Fleming, Marcelo Alvarez, the great Placido Domingo and Josh Groban. I also like Vanessa Carlton and Michelle Branch, and am a big Elton John fan.

Movies:

I love all kinds of movies (except horror movies, though I do like thrillers...) Some of my favorite movies are Amadeus, Spirited Away, A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, The Phantom of the Opera and I also love Disney.

Television:


I like to watch all sorts of things, from new and old sitcoms to reality tv shows, Judge Judy, Doctor G., Live from the Met, shows on the Disney channel and cartoons like Spongebob. I also am a big Animal Planet watcher. I watch whatever I think is fun or interesting. It's a nice way to wind down and night and help with reducing the stresses in life.

Books:

I love Harry Potter and anything interesting. Have any suggestions for a good book? I am always looking for a new good read.

Heroes:

Bats in the belfry... well, sorta
