I am here for Friends

About Me

Lucky, Lucky, Lucky Me! I am blessed every day by having family, friends and my darling cat, Mena. I am lucky, lucky, lucky to live in an apartment I adore next to the water and to live in one of the most beautiful spots on the planet, the Bay Area in California. My drive to work takes less than ten minutes and there's a Starbucks on the way! Lucky, lucky, lucky!

My Interests

Kate Earl

I just finished reading Twilight.
WoW!
What a ride!!
Now reading New Moon, the second book in the series!

Jo Rowling!

Harry Potter!

Jane Austen!

The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, everything by Tolkien, books on artists that I admire, mysteries, fantasy, a good thriller, biographies if they are well-documented. I get very grumpy if I don't have something good to read every day. If I'm not reading, I'm listening to music. I can't paint without music on.

YOGA & MEDITATION

I'd like to meet:

Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness The Dalai Lama; Professor Dumbledore; Sarah McLachlan; Dido Armstrong; Snatam Kaur; Ang Lee; Clint Eastwood; Morgan Freeman; Jackson Pollack; all my Groovy Friends here on MySpace; anyone with an open, loving heart! :~)



Music:

Adore Snatam Kaur, Sarah McLachlan, Dido Armstrong.

Jazz is a favorite and I'm really lucky to live close to Yoshi's.

My MySpace music discoveries. WooHoo!!!

ROSE REITER
I love this CD and listen to it every day. It just keeps getting more and more magical the more I get to know the songs better.

CHRISTINA LUX
Christina's newest CD is simply fabulous! Great lyrics, great vocals, great music!

Christina also generously gives some of the proceeds from the sale of her CD to an organization called "Stop The Silence," who is working to stop child sexual abuse.

KATE EARL
Kate has a lovely voice and her songs are from the heart!

SNATAM KAUR
My favorite kirtan singer since 2001. Recently attended one of her Peace Tour concerts. Two hours surrounded by divine music, love, joy, harmony, peace and tranquility. A magical evening!


Movies:

I love movies almost as much as I love music. I'm partial to good dramas. I like comedy, but it has to be really good (love My Cousin Vinny, Trading Places, The Princess Bride, Four Weddings And A Funeral).
Some favorites: all the Harry Potter movies; Sense and Sensibility; Becoming Jane; The Politician's Wife; The Shawshank Redemption; Iron Jawed Angels; Crash; Anne of Green Gables; Pride and Prejudice; Emma; Chocolat; Vanity Fair; Babette's Feast; Mostly Martha; The Girl in the Cafe; The Queen; Notting Hill; Brokeback Mountain; The English Patient; Lost in Translation; Bagdad Cafe; Girl with a Pearl Earring; Million Dollar Baby; The Heat of the Sun.

Television:

No time for TV!

Books:


I love to read. I'm still trying to get through The Great Treatise On The Stages Of The Path To Enlightenment, by Tsong-kha-pa.

Heroes:

Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
A truly kind, selfless and loving soul.
Audrey Hepburn; Nelson Mandela; Jimmy Carter; Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.; Maya Angelou; all the brave men and women in the Oakland Police Department; all the so called "ordinary" people who smile in passing and are kind and generous and welcoming to friends and strangers alike - thankfully, the Bay Area is full of them.

My Blog

I Got NEW MUSIC . . WooHoo!!!

Ask and you shall receive! I wanted new music. I got new music! I'm smiling BIG!! ;~) Thanks to my Friends and, in the case of Emmanuel Jal, the Associated Press!   Silje Hagen www.myspace.com/s...
