It is better to pursue your own dream imperfectly than it is to pursue someone else's dream perfectl

About Me


Pandora Radio is genius!
Curious & compassionate; I love the ocean, a great steak & Atlantic shrimp, the smell of lavender, singing in the car, dancing (sometimes in the car), and intelligent men with depth of soul.
Artist-photographer, writer, mom, friend; a creative, intelligent & sensual woman.
See my portrait photography at: Trish McCormick on Model Mayhem

Our love is like a well in the wilderness where time watches over the wandering lightning. Our sleep is a secret tunnel that leads to the scent of apples carried on the wind. When I hold you, I hold everything that is - swans, volcanoes, river rocks, maple trees drinking in the fragrance of the moon, bread that the fire adores. In your life, I see everything that lives. ~ Pablo Neruda

Many of the people on my friend list are young people, 19 and under. The first one is my son, who is the Light of my life. The others are his friends and teens I've met through the Manaia Youth Empowerment Programs who are all very special to me. I've learned a lot from them about being real.
Just a thought - if you don't accept the teenagers in your life for who they are, they may never show you who they are, and you'll miss out on knowing a lot of beautiful people.
