About me:

FINISHING TOUCHES: A Professional Writing/Editing, and Production organization. I have published numerous articles, short stories, poems, and Op-Ed articles over the years. I am currently working on several modern mythological screenplays with my partner, Goran S. Jonasson, Studio Vandarnus Hus, and shooting scenes for the video production of the first play, which we hope to release on DVD by the end of this year. I am also writing a satirical novel, whose main characters are an Elizabethan Ghost and contemporary writer. The story is power-packed with an ancient mystery, devious characters, a primordial to modern-day conspiracy, archeological proof, and politics.

Who I'd like to meet:

People from around the world with similar or different interests. I have enjoyed meeting people from different walks of life, as I've learned so much about myself from this experience. I believe we inhibit our learning and growth as individuals by not getting to know others who may differ from ourselves. My CLOSEST and BEST friends are from Cuba, Myanmar, Sweden, Africa, Haiti, France, Ireland, and the United States. I 'also' have friends from Asia, South Asia, etc. Had I not been open, I would have lost out on the life-long bond of great friendships.

Interests

  • General

    INTERESTS I have numerous interests, and have been blessed with many talents. I love writing, cinematography, photography, painting, designing, decorating, acting, promoting, and gourmet cooking, amongst numerous other things. I am a romantic at heart. I LOVE nature and enjoy walks on the beach, hikes in the woods, finding a secluded swim hole and taking a dip, candle lit dinners, picnics, dancing, a beautiful bouquet of flowers, yoga, and music that suits my mood. I also take great pleasure in going to the theatre or a concert, as well as reading and researching. I immensely enjoy good conversation, and am well versed on numerous subjects, and LOVE meeting people and making new friends. I also love the quiet times; sitting under the stars, watching a crackling fire, and just listening to the sounds of nature. I am an advocate for Human Rights and take seriously, ‘All people are created equal.’ Having worked with and befriended people from around the world at UNICEF, I can tell you first-hand that we ALL share the same emotions, have the same desires, even if our traditions differ. Aren’t we ALL a product of our milieu? I also support efforts in biodiversity, as I can see in my lifetime numerous changes that have influenced our ecology. The human race has ravaged the planet with their insatiable lust for wealth over the centuries, giving little consideration to the consequences to our planet. Many of our wars are caused by people rebelling to the rapaciousness of corrupt politicians and businesses, which have left their water and land devastated. IF we don’t begin to work together to find ways to improve biodiversity, people in our generation and moving forward will endure the ramifications. I am a religious person, and have extensively studied religions going back to very ancient times. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that there IS a superior being who I call GOD. Many of our most revered physicists, including Albert Einstein, have sought to prove the quintessence of ‘something’ greater than ourselves. As much as modern-day physicist, scientists, philosophers, archeologists, and anthropologists know…they still have not been able to figure out the cosmos, or how or exactly when human beings came into being.
  • Music

    Photobucket I like most types of music; classical, musicals, contemporary, new age, Indie, jazz, blues, rock, country, Celtic, experimental, etc., dependent upon my mood and surroundings.
  • Movies

    I love old movies as well as new movies; everything from romance, musicals, drama, action and adventure, and some horror and sci-fi.
  • Television

    NCIS, BONES, CSI Miami and New York, 24, Criminal Minds, Numbers, The Mentalist, Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Nature, Nova, and the History Channel to name a few.
  • Books

    I am an 'avid' reader and have read the works of the ancient Greeks, Romans, Persians, etc. I love history and all mythology spanning back to the 'most ancient' times. I love the classics, the poets, and modern-day authors like Arturo Perez-Reverte, Dan Brown, Kay Hooper, Lawrence Saunders, Susan Howach, and James Patterson to name just a very few. If I were to list all the authors I like and read...my page would be filled!
  • Heroes

    Those who have shown me LOVE in this world, and those who prove it 'still' exists!

    THE END OF LIFE IS NOT DEATH BUT INDIFFERENCE.

    WE ARE AFRAID OF DEATH, BUT MORE OFTEN WE ARE AFRAID OF LIFE.

    My aunt passed away yesterday and it made me think about life and death and what it is truly all about.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you
    and yours. I’m having the crew over
    here, but everyone is bringing dishes so it’s not all on me. My daughter took this darling pic of my two
    yr old grandbaby Colin. We still have
    some color here and there in the trees. But fall is winding down and winter soon
    be upon us.

    When
    you get down to it, we basically go back and forth between two basic
     emotions: love and fear. Fear can be healthy(fear of walking into
    traffic for instance) but most of the time, it's an
    unreal movie we are playing in our head. Fear prevents us from living our
    dreams, from taking chances, from living our lives the way would like to. Our fears
    hold us prisoner in jails of our own making. Only when we live through the eyes
    of love and not fear can we be truly authentic and true to ourselves.

    Today, I have a simple question for you. Please ponder it. And find a way to act on
    it. What risks would you take if you weren't afraid?
    Wishing
    you a wonderful week ahead,

    Love& Blessings Raine x

    Hi Mary,

    “I should get a normal life, but I don't really want one, so will stay who I am”
    (A quote by some daft fool setting up Paul Weston Arts! See links below.)

    Thank you so much for all your support and please feel free to enter my crazy new world!

    Hope you like the card and have a wonderful weekend.

    Peace love and happiness.

    “Dance”

    “The expression of love, grace an elegance
    A movement of intimacy, empowerment, romance
    Riding the crest of an ocean wave
    Gliding through the air on a breezy day
    My body on Earth my soul reaches away
    To Heaven.
    The religion of rhythm
    A moth to a candle
    A key to a slave of
    Pleasure and pain
    I take my first emancipated steps
    Freedom
    This is my chance.
    That’s where I go
    When I
    Dance.”

    It is not only about what I WANT, but also about what is meant to be and creates the least possible harm. 

    There is this story about a man - a roof tiler - who wanted to play so badly with his new computer, but had no time. He was told to only wish for it strongly enough, so the energy of his thoughts would create it. BOUM! He did as he was told - fell from the roof, broke his legs and had to go to the hospital and then immediately had all the time to play computer games ....
