I am an energetic and outgoing force of nature who also likes to kick back and go with the flow. I am an exceptionally driven person as well and once I've set my mind on something there is no putting a stop to me. Because I am involved in Theatre and have a degree in Drama, I try and keep all real-life drama to an ultimate minimum. I don't cause commotions, I simply am one. As any true dichotomy, I am very light-hearted and soft-spoken, however, I have a dark sense of humor that compliments my inner desire to "tell it like it is." This sometimes gets me into trouble -- but it's nothing I can't handle. ;) I can also be very caring and wise. I have the courage to stand up for what I feel is right and I do my best to create change for the better.
I keep myself busy acting, dancing, and singing on stage. I'm also re-training myself to play the piano and sight read music. I often will take classes in my time off to continue my training...learning and developing does not end with a degree or a diploma. The Stage isn't just a place of performance to me ... it is a place of Drama and Magic. Creating good Theatre is a true craft of invoking and expressing human emotions. The theatrical process from choosing a script to the final close and strike is a very spiritual process for me; and in many ways the theatre was my first teacher of life.
I am a Neo-Pagan and only slightly out of the broom closet. Surprise! That's right, we exist in the real world...and there are many of us! Let's just get this out of the way: I'm not a Witch from the storybooks, Harry Potter or the movies. I don't have "Charmed" superpowers, and I don't dance naked by the full moon...oh, wait--yes I do. Pay no attention to that last one there. To put it very simply: I believe in the great power and energies of Life and the Earth.
I read as often as possible. I read everything I can get my hands on, and that's really saying something because my business is books. I believe that it is important to continue growing and learning throughout life. A lesson can be taken from even the most mundane situations. I like live performance of any kind so I spend a lot of time going to plays, concerts and different shows around town. Somedays I do tend to live the life of a hermit. I like to read, garden, and make clothes & jewelry. I frequent the new age and health shops in the downtown area, and I love bookstores and the Seattle Library! I meditate often and love to train (musically and physically) in my spare time. But you will find that I am rarely at home. I can be spotted in down town Seattle playing it up in the kareoke bars, or perhaps taking mr phluph (my cat) on walks to local parks. I am often heard humming under my breath and am more often caught singing at the top of my lungs when i think that no one is pay attention. I stand and speak with confidence and laugh loudly. I walk with grace and have a bounce in my step. I am not easily embarrassed and you would never use the word shy describe me. However, I have to know and love you well before I let you know the life beneath my jade skin.
