practicing guitar, women, haikus, speaking my truth, long walks, going to target and window shopping, lyrics, semiotics, makin moves, being a whole person and taking up space, pictures, misbehaving, planting seeds and watching them grow, claiming my power, livin out and loud, doin me for a change, giving life, brownies, words, feminism, live music, red wine and hard cider, locating the fear, raising the stakes, lettin my light shine without judgement or qualification and hopin you'll do the same, the victorians, vampires, talkin trash, exchangin smiles, keepin my feet on solid ground, cute furry little things, findin mahself in a good song, getting free and hopefully takin you with me...

About me: i'm playful, goofy (in a good way) and i luv to laugh from my belly. i'm a people watcher, a storyteller, a night owl and a songstress blazing my path. i luv the smell of fresh laundry, babies and pine needles. as of late, i am constantly amazed by my own power and the power of the universe -- and i want to stay present and in that space. i'm about sharin what i can, my family, learnin from the people around me, challengin myself, pushing my growing edge and trying to live each day as if it were on purpose.
i'm a songstress an storyteller who was raised on old school R&B, soul, blues and worksongs. my art/words/music is dedicated to sharing the significance of these uniquely american art forms and exploring my experience as a lesbian, feminist coloredgrrl.
Who I'd like to meet: everyday, beautifully complicated peeps that i can laugh and philosophize with, people who are about something...anything really. just BE ABOUT IT and do you...passion (especially for life) is such a beautiful thing.
do you know me like the back of your hand or what?!?! yes yes chile, i do have a way with words, its just so hard to get them down and out... ya dig? anywho, i'm hanging in there like a one-armed chimpanzee but i'm still here. i won't let circumstance get me down ;-) hope you are well miss rella!
