I have so many interests I don't know where to begin. I have to say first and foremost my friends and family. My closest friends go way back from my late teens. We were actually in a late 60's early 70's rock band and still to this day get together to play's (see photos in my pics). Since my first degree was in music with classical/fingerstyle guitar being my major, I just love playing my guitar.My friends and colleagues are awesome people. They are their for me through thick and thin. Most recently, I'm participating in a meditation group which is held at my office.Next would be work. If I were independently wealthy, I would do it without charge. I receive the greatest reward in improving and changing the lives of others. It doesn't get much better than that. I also, love to dance, esp. ballroom dancing. I've taken lessons off and on over the years. Music has always been a major part of my life (my previous career). As previously indicated my first degree was in music where I studied classical guitar and eventually went on to build them. I love to cook. I've known to make some palatable and healthy entree but not so palatable ones as well. :-) To no surprise, I like to read, attend lectures (I'm lecture junky as you can see in my biography on my website), love musicals, concerts, nature walks, ocean, mountains, travel, cycling, skiing and especially socializing. I also have an interest in psychology(which I hold a BA)and spirituality. I'm sure there are several that I've left out but those are the main ones.
I'd like to meet:
I am always up to meet interesting people for friendship and networking. I met one woman on a dating site who implied, she did not want to date me, but wanted to be my patient. And that's exactly what happened. Eventually, things turned out best for the both of us. Over time she did become interested me but then I met someone else. As they say timing is everything. LOLAlso, I am always open to meet new colleagues for the purpose of networking, friendship or just sharing common interests. If you are a clinician in a similar field, i.e., Physician, nurse practitioner, psychologist, chiropractor, naturopath, massage therapist, etc. I would love to chat with you. Life is about making new friends and building and maintaining quality relationships!
Music:
Classic rock, jazz, blues and classical
Movies:
I love a good movie. My mind draws a blank at the moment but I do enjoy romantic comedies, suspense, comedies. Most movies except don't like lots of violence (though sex is ok:-) or sci-fi. Braveheart comes to mind. I recently saw an awesome documentary called Mad Hot Ballroom. This was an amazing movie about NY inner city children learning to dance in order to win a ballroom dance competition. I also love My Cousin Vinnie. Must of seen it four times now. :-) What the bleep, Mind Walk. If I think of more I'll add them later.
Television:
I don't watch tv as much as I used to. Who's got the time? When I do watch it, I like an occasional good movie, Fox (though I gets my blood boiling:-), CNN. political commentary, I did enjoy Dancing with the Stars or anything to do with ballroom dancing. If you are old enough I was also addicted to Northern Exposure.
Books:
You would be bored with the books I read. Most are on Functional Medicine, stress physiology, nutrition, naturopathy, neurobiology and the brain, inflammation and autoimmune disease, psychology, the mind/body connection such as Molecules of Emotion. Etc., Etc.
Heroes:
My heroes are my parents. My mom has been deceased for 13 years. She was the matriarch that kept the family together. She was a selfless woman that could not do enough for you. Everyone loved and respected her. The moment she passed my oldest sister turned to me and said, "Ma loved you best". A little resentment there. :-) I wrote and read her eulogy. There was not a dry eye in the church.My dad passed 12/13/06. I was quite upset, however his funeral service actually turned into a celebration of his life. My dad lived a full and happy life. He fought for his country in WWII stationed in Italy, in the Alps. He studied voice professionally prior to the war and would sing for the troops. I set up two large displays of photos of him in the war, singing and dancing with my mother. I wrote and read his eulogy, which I wasn't sure I would make it through it without breaking down. I entitled it, "He did it the right way."My parents were married for over 50 years and had the loving relationship every couple aspires to. I really miss them! ............................................................
