Since I was 12, I've kept a list of those I'd like to meet, chat with, and get to know. I've met most of them now, but there are always new ones added. It is how they think and what they feel, then what they do with that... this is what fires my soul. Below is an example of one that is a friend here and I hope to meet in person one day. I just like what makes her tick. So, if you'd like to send negative feedback on my movies/shorts I do with Awesome Presence Productions... consider the video below first. It will all make sense then. :) Thanks, Sarah. Love ya!

In essence, it would be my great joy to meet people with warm hearts that do not judge and sweet minds full of extraordinary thoughts. There is always room to enjoy the most extraordinary minds alive.
I'd like to sit down with a great cup of Joe and pick the creative brains of many on my list and allow them to pick mine. This is my big thing in life as a writer. Some of the most inspiring times of my life came out of sitting with legends and less known entertainers, writers, and other artists, sipping coffee or wine, and talking about life, art, creativity, and love. We are in motion now to do that again. It has started with Kathleen Procter-Moore. These times of exchange are filmed, placed into DVD format, and sold to help support Valley Fever research, prevention and cure.
Writing is my positive addiction. It is why I came to MySpace. I talk and write for a living. It is the best job on earth for me! I was born to it.
Here, I hope to meet people reaching further than where they have been and like-minded individuals enjoying life and seeking deeper truth. I am creating a community within a community of artistic individuals, great thinkers, light workers, and other mental and spiritual explorers on the trail of the true human being. I want to meet people that shine so bright that I gotta wear shades!!!
Just as an aside, and I've learned the hard way... I do not do MySpace street fights and drama, and all should be aware of that. I'm a peaceful person and I don't do many forms of fighting. I'll walk away first, in love and with blessings, and hope that the angry person finds peace. In the words of John Lennon... all we are saying is give peace a chance. That goes for personal relationships, as well.
I love to meet people that know deep down that they are born to and for greatness and feel no need to apologize go to the back of the bus of consciousness. Brilliant minds send a thrill up my spine and have always been my best company ever. To them all, I am grateful.

Rebel Writer, Secrets of the Extraordinary Life ...,
You can say I am living proof that Lee's book works. I was compelled to write ("on the page") the exercises, way before this book came to being. I am one of a few who suggested she ought to write this book.
From the very beginning of our meetings, I began the journey to be the writer I am today. I wouldn't have published if it weren't for her persistent guidance that sensitive gentle encouraging push writers constantly crave & need. I am a proud writer to my SELF. I know what I am capable of doing and I am going to do it. Trash those rejections slips buddy.... I'm coming through! Thanks, Lee!" Katherine Borges, Author, "Bare Tree".
Ms. Borges also dedicated a poem to Lee Travathan in the book. It is called "Heroes". The video below is in honor of Ms. Borges and her willingness to open herself to extraordinary thinking, no matter how tough it got.
Ms. Borges is presently completing a book about their work together and how it changed her life.

Below is The Vegas Movie trailer. The DVD of the actual movie costs $10 US and can be ordered here. Just send me an email. We use it to help raise funds to support Valley Fever awareness and cure. Mac and I hope you enjoy it and get lots of giggles. The full length DVD is about 12 minutes of comedy... a celebration of life after surviving this horrible and difficult disease. Have a little fun on Mac and me. :)
Many thanks to Becca and Jacque for having fun with us. They are wonderful! xxx

Classical, Beatles, some rock, country, and gospel. Very big on indie work and my retired "rock star" husband, Mac, especially preforming "Real Man". Anytime, anyday, anywhere. Below is a little film montage dedicated to my hubby.

And then there are those that are courageous enough to live their dreams later in life... and don't let things get in their way. They can start where others end. Not too much seems to stop Mr. Costner. That boy CAN sing! Whoa! :)
And let us not forget those on the way to stardom. When people ask me if there is a God, if figure only they can decide that for themselves... however, to me, there is no doubt, especially when I look around and see how we are used as an instrument for His expression. Watch this little 4 year old below rock out and answer to yourself.
I am blessed by many creative spirits and vision centered souls. The video below is in honor of a dear friend, Julian Lennon. I love his soul and so love to see him shine in the world. I always knew he would.
Here's to you, Jules. Remember, I've got those "special" shades just for people like you! Standing by you. Thanks for being there for me. Yep... you rock!
After nearly 30 years in entertainment and the arts, I meet new talents every day that shake me inside, and continue to be loyal to GrooveLily, Neil Finn, Los Lonely Boys, James Taylor, Kate Taylor, and the entire Taylor family, Shawn Colvin, Sarah McLachlan, Todd Beeson, Julian Lennon, Tori Beaumont, Kathleen Procter-Moore, Gari Glaysher, Rexford, and all of my friends at Pinewood Studios in the UK.
I hope you will enjoy the video below with Kate Taylor. Let it put a smile on your face. I deeply admire Kate's soul.
Again, thank you very much Lee! You're support means so much to me!
Tori xox :D

Artists that I enjoy, you will find on my friends list. Take a listen and say hello. Only artists that I have personal connection with and to end up on my top 40. So note, I must have contact with you in order to fully support you.
I love the music that is the voices of loving people in my life. I soak it in and breathe it out with a smile. When my children and grandchildren are not near me, I remember the sounds of their voices. It brings me peace.

MYSPACE.COM/LEETRAVATHAN1 This is where I interview artists.
Just check on the Travathan link above to go to my USA/UK Official Music and Fansite or click on the first pix icon in my top 40. One of the past features is my friend, Rexford, of Ben's Angels. A man with an amazing story! You gotta go! You'll find his blog chat in the blog section. Just see all blogs. It will come up for you.

Angeli Nel Cielo forms the theme music for the film, Ben's Angels. Here, Gari Glaysher performs the opera version.
I also hope you will enjoy my dear friend, Kathleen, and visit her site. I am so moved by her presence! You will love her duet with Gari Glaysher, too! They are both true blessings in my life everyday.
Anything that moves my soul and makes me think deeper thoughts outside of the ordinary. Most films with a deep message... films that make me think of what is possible. Big on indie work. I admire some things Costner (perhaps the most under-appreciated actor and director of our time), Depp, or Gibson, but I am open to experience life as a movie. However, a well-done and insightful film thrills me.
The whole "movie star" thing... ah, I don't get it. People do jobs, express their craft, etc... Hollywood created movie stars to sell films. My "movie star" friends and clients have always been just that, friends, buddies. Their privacy and mine are paramount to me. I'm more impressed with the character of a person than the gods in the box office, which are not real to me, anyway.

Enjoy Gari here, and the song, Sarabande, from Phantom of the Opera.

Not big on tv, but I'm a bit hooked on HGTV because I have a big white box of a house and need all the help that I can get. The indie channel gets my attention when I am tired and need to see something good that matters.
We don't get enough pages here to properly answer that one. My home is being turned into a giant library and art museum as you read this. I consider my own works friends. All three in the Rebel Writer series have been taken off the market to update text and put on new covers, but hackers are selling them in mass. I'm not too worried... There are new "babies" in gestation. I still find new and used books on about 150 websites. Just google my name + author.
Love books on writing for film, gardening, decor, psychology and philosophy and quantum physics. Reading is my bridge into unlimited universes and one of the greatest joys of my life. I was born to be a writer.
I am also featured in Keith Leon's new book, Who Do You Think You Are? and you can see more about it in the video below. Enjoy!

The Door To Progress
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it
when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
~Albert Einstein ~
Anyone who can stand in that opposition and remain graceful has my vote. I have learned much from MLK and JFK, Jesus and Gandhi. And countless others that I encounter on a regular basis that are unsung and extraordinary. Perhaps you will be one of the heroes I meet along the way.
A SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL MY REBEL FRIENDS **** MAY WE ALWAYS REMEMBER THESE IMPORTANT WORDS AND MAY WE FOREVER HAVE THE COURAGE TO LIVE BY THEM. WE ARE NOT ALONE... THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF US. WE DO CHANGE THE WORLD. ONE REBEL AT A TIME!
So... in honor of you all...
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.â€â€˜Think Different’
