I always have trouble finding a way to sum up who I am & fit it into these little boxes....little boxes made of ticky tacky....I am a mama, a creative soul who likes to make something out of nothing or anything I can get my hands on......art in any form, expression in general is important to me. There are so many amazing people out there that I am in awe of. Life revolves around love for me. Love, connecting,communing, and exploring. Exploring your soul to find out who you are & exploring my soul, finding out who I am, which is ever changing. I hope to never stop questioning, learning, and raising my bar. The things I love most in life are my amazing daughter who I had at 19 and am so proud of every day, just talking with her, she is filled with positive energy & makes me laugh so much. Watching her dance & hearing her sing....she gives me chills...not because she is my daughter either...as a person she just amazes me & makes me want to be a better human being. My fiance & best friend David Luna who is also one of the most awe inspiring, original artists I have ever encountered....I just want to eat his brains....it is fun being with someone who dreams in cartoons & who is a forever child like me. I love to write poetry, lyrics and vocal melodies, all three of us do photography, I LOVE people. Meeting them, hearing their stories, & connecting & relating to them. I have found in my life that a lot of people come to me for advice or for a pep talk. That makes me very proud because I know I have been through a great deal in life, but if my experiences can help others in any way than I am on the right path in my own healing. I adore learning, I regret being unable to finish college & self teach whenever I have time. Some subjects I am very interested in are Anthropology, Theology, Journalism, Psychology, Marine Biology, Holistic healing is a dream...(Reiki, herbs, nutritional healing, Accupressure, Kinesiology, massage, Ayurvedic medicine), Sustainable living, and in my wildest dreams I travel & get to experience Archeological digs, photograph wild animals, and learn to survive in the wilderness. I love way too many things.if that is possible...some are.....owls, fae, faeries,mystical creatures, flutes, pianos,anything renaissance and medieval, (I make head pieces, wings, and fairy/princess costumes to die for if I do say so...wink...I'm a major movie buff, Fashion....styles like burlesque, anything to do with the ole time circus/Carnivale, tokyo street style, gothic Lolita, steampunk anything, 60s, 20s, 40s are my fave, playing dress up is the best. We joke that my daughter & I have D.U.D & R.S.S. (Dress up disorder & Rock Star Syndrome), I loved owning a vintage shop for 8 years, clothing is just another art medium I can use to express my madness (hee hee),reading, thrifting, gomi hunting, singing, dancing, doing theatrical hair & make up, cooking, antiques, exploring anything old, creepy, or abandoned, Victorian homes are my favorite and I also dream of renovating a very old church, (like NYC Limelight) into a home, collecting paranormal evidence of which I have a quite a lot already & want to start a team called Spirit World Paranormal or SWP & am currently building a web site & saving for better equipment, making jewelry, trees that bloom, japanese customs, meditation, swimming, deep belly laughter.....till u pee or cry, our beautiful mother earth, exploring nature, yoga, magic, decorating, MUSIC, fashion, my furry four legged or feathered family:), animal nutrition, just walking, making candles, gardening, meditating and lucid dreaming. I love waking early enough to watch the sun rise and to enjoy all the birds I am lucky enough to have in my yard. I can't pass flowers without smelling them. I love the full moon beaming down, electrical storms, the sunshine kissing my face..I am a huge nap advocate..naps can fix anything..napping in a sunbeam or a moonbeam is heaven. I collect fiesta ware, and bottles of al colors n shapes. My faves are glass medicine bottles from the 1800s. I collect beach glass & shells too. I am good at forgiving and do not hold grudges, I use sarcasm as a defense mechanism, I am learning to say no....finally! I am allergic to stress,(for real). If I am not careful stress can easily turn me into a negative bitch, sometimes I care about justice too much and become way too righteous for anybody's good, I can't stand gossip or drama. I can't get turned on unless you probe my cerebrum. I fight depression once in awhile for different reasons...I try NOT to think about them but sometimes it gets me really down when I watch the news, if it rains for too long....I love warm rain u can puddle dance in, but too many days without sun make me sick, when I am reminded that there is a serious lack of effort in the smile exchange out there....I give out a lot but don't feel requited...as a matter of fact it seems the stink face is taking the place of smiles and that just breaks my heart, when I feel like a complete alien...like am I the only person who doesn't beep and give the finger to someone that I pulled out in front of? I just say sorry and wave red faced....? Maybe it is the place where I live but I certainly feel like a sore thumb sticking out sometimes. OBVIOUSLY I can't say anything 20 words or less...never could...no apologies. I think in pictures, and am bad at math, but do book keeping well???? I prefer a pencil and calculator to Quick Books because I guess I enjoy doing certain things the hard way. I wish we all still took time to write letters & post them. There is too much instant gratification in our world & I dream about us going back to the days when patience was truly a virtue and we had a chance of learning it.
