I thought a new thought today..

About Me


Go to ImageShack® to Create your own Slideshow
Well maybe i'm crazy to put up this page since I'm already spending too much time keeping up with our band page (The Long Goodbyes at www.myspace.com/theloooooooonggoodbyes ) but here goes anyway. I have made so many friends here that I thought it would be nice to have my own space far from the "Buy Our CD" now banner (although it sure would be nice if you did go and buy our CD!) In no particular order I am a mother, singer, artist, wife, teacher, peace advocate, passionate cook, empathic listener, voracious reader, life long learner..... I love to work with kids and run a programme which helps give children the tools to be self-confident, optimistic, resourceful, creative and compassionate...primarily through the visual arts...you can find out more at www.artzspark.com.au I also teach art to adults! Another passion is travelling and I have great dreams of one day organising painting holidays to Mexico which is my favourite place in the world (besides home!!) I am a totally illogical being, always do things the hard way until someone shows me the easy way, love to dream big dreams and then make them happen!Love the shift that is happening to merge the human understanding of spirituality and quantum physics... Love faces, all faces, self-expression, humanity.....I think I'll have to come back and write some more later....
