  • Music

    I love music I love listening to it. I love creating it. I was classically trained on the cello, and studied music theory in college. I once performed some of the background music you may have heard in radio and television commercials, and have performed on stage in clubs and auditoriums.

    Michigan Womyn's Music Festival See You in August!

    WANT TO BUY: Cello and/or Double Bass
  • Movies

    Eclectic I prefer indie and foreign films. Hollywood's predictable cookie cutter themes don't generally pique my interest.
  • Television

    Kill Your Television Demand media accountability. Oppose mega-media consolidation. Support local and independent media (and watch the L Word with friends).

  • Books

    e-'klek-tik Social anthropology, environmental science ... books that lead me to a greater understanding of social political constructs in the U.S. and the world. I read more non-fiction, than fiction.

    Recommended reading: The Omnivores Dilemma; World Changing: a Users Guide for the 21st Century; Bitter Harvest; and Lunch Lessons: Changing The Way We Feed Our Children; The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008 by Paul Krugman.

    Currently reading: The Perception Experiment; and I am re-reading "A Course in Miracles"
  • Heroes

    Family: Children I deeply honor, respect, love, and admire who my adult children have chosen to be in this life. While matriculating at Johns Hopkins University, Jenny tutored inner-city girls, and also founded a non-profit corporation that endeavors to relieve the plight of Chinese orphan girls. She graduated from Johns Hopkins distinguishing herself with high honors in two Majors. Jenny has since received three Masters Degrees. She is regularly heard on NPR, and completed her special report on Nicaragua which was broadcast on NPR and other networks. Jenny's (multilingual) voice is exclusively featured in a cultural walking tour of Germany audio series. Chris is pursuing his first Masters Degree which will be in Comparative Religion. Both are wonderful passionate young adults working to make this world a better place.

    Blessed are the Peacemakers I have the utmost respect for people who have changed the world through non-violent activism. It is more difficult to create change non-violently. Sometimes it takes longer to happen. But in the end, it is the most enduring and rewarding for all.

    Kiva

    Believe Honor, support, and become environmentalists, vegetarians, and a positive creative change-maker dedicated to the restoration of a healthy and sustainable planet Earth.

    Protect & Respect Life The human appetite for animal flesh is a driving force behind virtually every major category of environmental damage now threatening the human future: deforestation, erosion, fresh water scarcity, air and water pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, social injustice, the destabilization of communities, and the spread of disease. World Watch

    The average meat eater is responsible for the deaths of some 2,400 animals during his or her lifetime. Animals raised for food endure great suffering in their housing, transport, feeding and slaughter. J Motavalli, So You're an Environmentalist; Why Are You Still Eating Meat?

    Nothing will benefit health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. Albert Einstein

    Live Aloha! The Aloha Spirit is the coordination of mind and heart within each person. It brings each person to the Self. Each person must think and emote good feelings to others. In the contemplation and presence of the life force, Aloha:

    * Akahai, meaning kindness to be expressed with tenderness;
    * Lôkahi, meaning unity, to be expressed with harmony;
    * 'Olu'olu, meaning agreeable, to be expressed with pleasantness;
    * Ha'aha'a, meaning humility, to be expressed with modesty;
    * Ahonui, meaning patience, to be expressed with perseverance.

    These are traits of character that express the charm, warmth and sincerity of Hawaii's people. It was the working philosophy of native Hawaiians and was presented as a gift to the people of Hawaii.
    Aloha is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation.
    Aloha means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return.
    Aloha is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence.
    Aloha means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable.
    ..

    Virgo/Libra For the astrologically inclined, note below that it states I am a Libra. I was born at zero-degrees Libra, which places my birth in the middle of the cusp between Virgo and Libra.

    Aloha kekahi i kekahi

About me:

My friends would probably describe me as a smiling faced - community - human-rights - social/political - feminist - LGBTQ - environmental - global commons - animal-advocating - fair trade - organic - vegetarian activist! My life, career, and passions have centered around music, illustrative photography, media production (and other forms of communication).


My Personality Assessment
Assessment by Helen Fisher Ph.D.

You are a highly spontaneous person who always likes to try new things. Novel and unpredictable situations don't bother you; instead you find them challenging and exciting.

You tend to be focused and resourceful and you are able to juggle a lot of projects at the same time; as a result you are sometimes a whirlwind of activity.

You have a firm grip on reality and enjoy living in the present tense. But you have a keen imagination that enables you to lift off from time and space to be remarkably creative.

You are humorous. You are able to laugh at yourself, and you like entertaining others.

You have a deep sense of compassion. You can show genuine insight into the needs of others; you are good at listening and talking; and you express a genuine desire to be helpful.

Yet you are easy-going. Your tolerance for others and their beliefs, your lack of prejudice, your ability to compromise and your occasional antics make you popular with others and a great companion.

*Factoid: There are far fewer Explorers (8 percent) than any other type—a frequency that correlates with the distribution of a specific genetic variant in the dopamine system associated with novelty seeking and risk taking. Builders predominate (42 percent of the population). Builders are the best personality type match for me in a companion, with the Negotiator being next best.


..

Who I'd like to meet:

Thoughtful considerate people are appreciated and warmly welcomed. Good natured humor is essential to a life well lived; share a laugh or at least a smile with me as you pass by. My ideal companion possesses intellect, passion, kindness, compassion, is loving, a best friend, has world experience, she knows herself (and is grateful to be who she is); she embodies humor, honesty, creativity, fun, and she enjoys an active lifestyle that includes going outside to play (hike, bike, kayak, backpack, ski...)

Attention Bands! I am receiving many requests from bands to become a MySpace "friend". My passion is womyn's music/entertainment (i.e. mostly women with whom I am acquainted). If you are a women's group (all or primarily women), you are welcome to contact me. I promise to listen to your music and write you back. If you are an all boy band, or I do not personally know you, I may choose to pass on adding you as a "friend" at this time. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Worth Considering
 

I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame that heals our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and to each other. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Behind every great woman, is another woman. May we always be that woman. ~M'Lynn Hartwell

If we don't change direction soon, we'll end up where we're going. ~Irwin Corey

Practice being gentle, respectful and loving toward the life force in all things. Remind yourself that your efforts do make a difference, even if you think they are miniscule in comparison to the magnitude of the problem. ~Wayne Dyer

I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among people. ~Lao Tzu

Never take someone for granted, because you might wake up one day and realize that you've lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones. ~J. S. Robinson

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. ~Marianne Williamson

What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal. ~Albert Pine

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave ~Mahatma Gandhi

The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page ~St. Augustine

Life is a long lesson in humility. ~James M. Barrie

Each moment is a place you've never been ~Mark Strand
