About me:
I’m just a girl (in her 4th decade – can that even be true?!), who’s tryin to do some good stuff, tryin to do some fun stuff, tryin to get it right… I’m an author, artist, dreamer, and believer.
My days:
Most days are filled teaching “Process Art” via creative art journaling, abstract painting, and creativity workshops to others. I use life coaching throughout everything I do, but I still reserve a couple of spots a week for one-on-one coaching. When I find a speck of spare time, I play with the cats, laugh with the hubs, write this blog and other articles, occasionally make it into a published book, take creative photos, and make lots of wonderfully-messy artsy-creative stuff (you should see my studio).
Who I’d like to meet:
Jesus/Yeshua: face-to-face. But not because I’m ready to be dead, I’m enjoying my life here on Earth; but because I’ve got unanswered questions, and I hear He’s got all the answers… Yeshua, what a beautiful name, what a beautiful love.
Tori Amos: amazing musician, I’m in awe at the combination of her words and keys, I want to sit and have tea with her.
Anne Lamott: her writing sends me over the edge. If there was ever a writer I’ve related to, it’s her.
Mary Magdelane: I think she would have been a really good person to know, bet she’s got amazing experiences.
Long lost friends: lost over stupid STUPID stuff.
The Angels Around Me: bet my angels have some really good stories that would make me fall off my chair. Those angels must have some SERIOUSLY Soiled Wings.
The girl God had in mind when He thought me up…
General Interests:
I’m interested in things that are good for my soul: Helping Others, Playing Piano, Cooking, ATS/Ghawazee Dancing, Eating and Drinking Scrumptious Things, Writing (words and music), Making Things/Creating, Obsessively Organizing (not so sure this is good for my soul – I just do it to take my mind off more important things). And lastly spending time with my wonderful husband and our fur-babies (bengal cats: Zita and Zonkah)…
Music I Love:
I love music of all kinds (even some country yet I swore off that type of music long ago). Best Music right now in no particular order: Tori Amos, Noe Venable, Bach, Patty Griffin, Amy Grant, Bic Runga, Live (R.I.P.), Kate Bush, Sting, Beethovan, Shivaree, James Taylor, 2nd Chapter Of Acts, Isobel Campbell, Gypsy Soul, Ani DiFranco, Clannad, Sarah Brightman, Journey (with Steve Perry), Morcheeba, Yiruma, Libera, Flyleaf, Zero 7, Steven Halpern… and almost all alt/folk music sinks deep into my soul.
Movies that Rock: While there are many worth seeing, I’ll keep it simple:
Xanadu (1980)
Dune (1984)
Sound of Music
Old Kung Fu movies (with awesomely terrible english voice overs)
Must See TV:
House, Office, The Soup, New Girl (Zooey!), Cupcake Wars, and Good Eats…
Also most any movie and short film on Sundance or Independent Film Channel
Impressive Books:
In my childhood there are a couple of books that really stand out and are worth the read again and again: The Juniper Tree, Little Pilgrims Progress, Benjamin the True, Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, any Frog & Toad book and books by Shel Silverstein.
I love books. I love the smell of books – and no I just can’t see myself switching over to an electronic reader. I know, I know it will go that way – but for now I treasure paper books. You can see what I’m consuming over at Shelfari which contains most of my library.
Authors that rock my world: Hafiz, Anne Lamott, Shel Silverstein, Neil Gaiman, Brennan Manning, Sue Monk Kid, Dave Barry, Don Miller, Shauna Niequist, Lisa See, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, and others.
My Heroes:
My husband, the Wind, my inner voice and Jesus…
