Thanks for stopping by! On this site you’ll find lots of links. I think that by looking at the ‘bookmarks’
on someone’s PC, you can learn a lot about them. Well, these are only a portion of mine and….this is Me! J Also on this site: Music list. Reading list. Word of the Day. ‘Did You Know?’
Keep checking back as All Things(in Life)are always always

Discovery is one of the coolest things
in this world…..along with LOVE. Hopefully you can find something new here that you can then incorporate into your
own life.
Remember….Every day……always seek the Divine….I
wish you Joy on your Journey!
Okay, so I know that at first glance, this site looks all sappy and metaphysical. Well...I guess it kind of is and it
only really reflects a portion of my personality. But, I guess it's that way with most things in life. Only parts are revealed
a bit at a time. I guess the biggest thing, the most important thing to remember is that life is totally strange. And
the Higher Powers have a totally crazy sense of humor. I'm pretty sure that they like to play pranks too! Hmmm...what
else? Life is cyclical, right? And everything that comes around, goes around.....kind of cool at times. Definitly not at others.
Laughing with my son is awesome and my cat smells good. Oh yeah, and I'm a wierdo!

Everywhere you go,
Everything you see,
And in Everyone you meet….
Always seek the Divine.

see, hear, feel it.

ABOUT ME
37 yr old woman.....son 15..... 2 cats, Mrs
P Panda & Wishbone. I am intelligent, interesting,
pretty, funny & curious (if i dont say so myself?)with a special connection to animals. i strive for peace &
beauty in the midst of what is often chaos. unfortunately, though, i create a lot of the chaos. i am definitely a work in
progress. i love guided meditations (i have a hard time keeping my mind still)& hearing my son laugh...especially when
i am the one making him laugh! my worst feeling is regret, regret, regret. it is so...unyeildingly ugly and can make me feel
desperate at times. i try to not dwell in it. i love to take pictures of my family, i love my family
and they all love me, sometimes...okay, so let me be totally honest now...they are all nuts and think the same of me! but
they do still love me...i'm pretty sure anyway. i have a creative spirit. I love Buddhist and Native American teachings and
philosophies. i love humans. we are so amazing, adaptable, flawed.
Hmmmm... Books books books. I love books. Surprises are the
best! Well, good ones anyway. Though I know that even the bad ones are some kind of blessing or learning experience. or something.
My dream job? It varies from day to day. Um..editing and writing for a publication...something kind of hip and educational,
working with handicapped or abused children, be an animal rescue worker...thats pretty much one of my favorite dream
jobs...The cool thing, though is that I know it's never too late to start anew. I used to want to be famous. Now
I am okay with working a humble job. As long as I can keep learning, exploring, creating, and hopefully making some sort of
positive impact on my immediate environment and those around me..then i dont have to have a spectacular type life. I
am okay with living more quietly now. i did not used to feel that way.
My latest favorite quote...
"You have to live a lesson to learn it"
Ani Difranco
This past year, a few people have been put into my life that
have helped me to realize that I am talented and special. Thank you to the Universe! Thank you that I can recognize these
gifts!
Anyway...I hope you can relate to and or enjoy my website!

MUSICMUSICMUSICMUSICMUSICMUSICMUSICMUSICMUSIC
Some of the music I like, in no particular order……Ani difranco, Bouncing souls, sinead oconnor,
no use for a name, the muffs, yo la tengo, 80’s music, OMD, depeche mode, prince and the revolution, prince solo, johnny
cash, Native American music….wooden flutes and drums, classical, instrumental, really the only kind of music that I
can say I don’t like at all is probably polka, oh and all that top 40 bullshit that people crank out every 5 minutes
just so they can then crank out a soft porn video
disguised as a ‘music video’….ok moving right along…..ten
foot pole, bracket, swinging utters, the cranberries, tilt, disturbed, rob zombie, white zombie ( I was lucky enough to see
him recently in a small venue……it
was so incredible!) voodoo glow skulls, erasure, old 80’s Madonna, bob Dylan, they might be giants, mr t experience,
some led zeppelin, le tigre, the queers, the unseen, dillinger four, the ramones, me first and the gimmee gimmees, lag wagon
(one of my favorites), sebadoh, archers of loaf, the dickies, men without hats, baby gopal, the
wedding present, the descendents, all, new order......and just a ton more.....it's difficult to actually sit and think of
all the music that i enjoy listening to....i'll simply have to keep adding more!
