In college I completed one hundred and twenty units. During that time, I not only studied voice, dance, and drama extensively, but also privately began writing music. I kept at it, and found that it was a dream of mine to compose. In my classes at college, I studied ballet, jazz dance, modern, and musical theatre as my focus. At home, I devoured my imagination in a dream scape of tunes in my head. There was one tune that would not leave me alone. That was the beginning of a long and treacherous road, that was filled with sacrifices. It was for the ability to possibly some day express the drive inside of me, and to hope that I may satisfy God.
As a little girl, I felt a calling to use my talents some day for the greater good. As time went by, I realized that the next step in peace, equality, justice, and love within humankind, is to accept the differences of different kinds of people. It started with Martin Luther King, women's rights, and the like. Now it is time for the acceptance to further to all who are different, as long as they harm none. This world is filled with hate and hypocrisy. The word peace is bantered about as a catch phrase. But within each person's four walls, and each person's heart, there lies the ability for love. Some still hate as prejudice, but also for things such as age, disability, size, music taste, color choices of clothing, gay, bi, or transgendered, what side of town one lives on, what class someone is, and for religion. It is time to stand up not only for the right to be different, and to believe differently, but also for the right to be accepted. Acceptance does not mean to agree. One may peacefully agree to disagree, and still choose to accept eachothers' way of being as their right. Everyone has the right to be recognized as equal, not only in the eyes of God, but also in the eyes of man. -Copyright Kat 2008-

"I believe that together we can create a dream of peace by accepting differences of and with all mankind. Let's take a stand. I believe in love. I believe we can find it in our hearts to breed a new kind of dogma, a new life of giving respect and honor to our fellow man. It is only right to be, free, in not only action, but also in peace of mind."-Copyright Kat 2008-

Winning a County wide essay contest when growing up, then later having won the Ritz Poetry Award in second place, came about because writing has always been in my soul. I have written an unpublished poetry book of one hundred and fifty poems. Also I am in the process of writing a semi autobiography. I hope to begin pursuing getting published within the next six to twelve months.
I am an imperfect girl who is a lady now. I'm very complex and easily misunderstood. I have been through hard times filled with tradgedy and pain. I was naiive and found myself lost and alone. I have made many mistakes that I would take back if I could. But I have always been trying to be the best that I can be. I have learned from my mistakes and have been healing within.

It has always been a goal of mine, to effectively utilize all of my diverse talents, to develop a few more, and to use them for the greater good. As a small child, at four years old, I knew that I wanted to dance. I was told that I would need to wait to learn, until I was eighteen years of age. As I grew up, it became obvious that I loved drama. I definitely wanted to be an actress. I had a knack for writing, and fashion design. As singing was the only thing which I was allowed to do, I sang. I sang in as many choirs, receiving many awards, as I possibly could. At age eighteen, I won a statewide solo voice contest and was given a medal, a certificate, and a scholarship to the California State Summer School of the Arts. I also was awarded a gold medal for being part of the best highschool choir out of the United States of America. It made me aware that singing was something I felt I was meant to do. I also dreamt of composing music. I therefore, went to college to learn how to sing, dance, act, and learn. In the process I also studied philosophy, fine arts, P.E., and sustainable community. Over time, I realized that my main goal was to help promote the acceptance of all different types of people, through anything that I do professionally. I have been an actor, a journalist, a dance teacher, and a personal assistant executive. Presently, I am writing two books. The first is a poetry book. The second is a semi-autobiography. I am also in my final year of private voice study, that is in preparation, for becoming a singer.
In addition, my education and experience includes five years of college dance classes, six years of body conditioning courses, ten plays and musicals, including two of which were traveling shows, ATP (Actors Training Program), and modeling for a hair advertisement campaign.
Just as we seek liberty, freedom, and justice for all, so too should we allow ourselves and eachother the will to follow our dreams. Dreams are made out of choices. Wherein lies the possibilities, which may be born from various belief structures. Through acceptance of eachothers' differences, we may agree to disagree. In following love, through respect of opposing view points one on one with each other, nation to nation, religion to religion, we as a people can give democracy to ourselves and each other. When not respecting each other's choice to be any different than ourselves, we deny the innate freedom to believe and to strive in our own paths, negating what America stands for. In giving one may receive. Love is peaceful and never violent. Differences and freedom of choice should be respected only when non violent and peaceful. -Copyright Kat 2007, 2008-
What do I love? I love trains, things that glitter, the suns' rays on my skin, the stars in a beautiful dark blue sky, trees silhouette next to the moon (in my line of sight), (ever so much) letters, writing them and receiving them, shoes, singing, dancing, hugging, Bar-B-Q chicken, Chinese food with sweet and sour sauce, Tai food, Tai tea, coffee in the morning, antique dolls, unique dolls, learning about different cultures, reading about science, reading classic literature, being in the library, bookstores, the smell of coffee, the smell of a book, hiking, cats with personality, compliments that are earnest and sincere, rubies-honestly, victorian style costumes and furniture, a rare glass of champagne, creating performance art to my best ability, whenever I can do well enough to not feel the need to criticise myself, phone calls from friends, good china, my Dock Martins, my Pink Converse, the saxaphone, the blues, being able to technically understand how singers are doing what they do when I hear them, God, my cat Blondie, my Mom, my dear freinds, my step sister, achieving a good challenge, the tunes in my head, a few memories, and being alive.
Huge dreams can seem impossible to reach. Find the small dreams. As each one is accomplished, they will pave the way to the bigger dreams.
When one reaches the top, a person can be unhappy still. Because it is ones' life other than success, where happiness is found. Finding joy and fullness in day to day moments, friendships, and family, is something that can be built along the way. Then when one reaches success, they will not find that they are truly empty handed. A full life is where the heart is. It is not in things, status, or money, but in what is underneath all of that. When it is all stripped away, it is what is left. Money can be the icing on the cake. But what really matters is love, truth, friendship with ones own soul, peace inside and out, and where the heart is. Small dreams... -Copyright Kat 2007, 2008-
I dream to publish a C.D. within the next year or two (ASAP). Also I'd like to promote accepting the differences of different kinds of people, therefore peace on earth.

I really love MySpace! I read all of my mail with love. I'm sorry if I don't answer all of your comments/letters, or if I take a long time to write back. It's not personal. I am busy writing two books, studying music, putting together a C.D., and trying to create peace. I don't get much free time for myself. But I love to talk to my friends! The best time to catch me is around 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sometimes I will write bulletins or blogs updating what is going on with me and my projects. I cherish you all so much! Thank you! xoxo

Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice. They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideas. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH. ~unknown~

The greatest achievement is selflessness. The greatest worth is self-mastery. The greatest quality is seeking to serve others. The greatest precept is continual awareness. The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything. The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways. The greatest magic is transmuting the passions. The greatest generosity is non-attachment. The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. The greatest patience is humility. The greatest effort is not concerned with results. The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go. The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances. Atisha
This existance of ours is as transient as autumn clouds. To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky. Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain.
Buddha
Peace and Love to you always~ Have a beautiful weekend Kat~Barbara
"All the peace and happiness of the whole globe, the peace and happiness of societies, the peace and happiness of family, the peace and happiness in the individual persons' life, and the peace and happiness of even the animals and so forth, all depends on having loving kindness toward each other."

About this page: I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D
Hello Kat, My Easter trip was great! There is nothing like spending such a special day with family and friends! :) I am so sorry to hear that you are having health problems! I hope that the doctors find out what's wrong soon! Swimming is great and it's even better if it is done in the ocean! My mom has been having problems with her leg and she has been to many doctors and they have all told her to swim in the ocean because it is more therputic, so since summer is just beginning, she is planning on going to the beach as often as possible! It would be fantastic if you could visit Greece some day! You would love it hear especially this time of year! Your hair must look very pretty now that you have layered it! It was so nice hearing from you! I hope you have a great weekend! :)

Kat, Hello! I am sorry it took a while for me to get back to you. I think once you have a back problem it will continue to rear it's ugly head.

I hope you are doing wonderful and enjoying the spring weather!! Love and Hugs, Laura
