Let me tell you a little about me... world travel, fine French food, white chocolate, champagne with peaches, caipirinhas - these are some of the many things I enjoy. I am stylish and elegant but am not self-absorbed.
I love bubble baths and anything with a jasmine aroma. Good manners are important. I believe in miracles and angels the way some people believe in fairy tales. I am funny and silly but am not a clown. I am a fan of pin-up girls and Josephine Baker.
I am a warm, spontaneous, smiling, sociable person. I am open-minded, capable and confident; a warrior and adventurer who never rushes to judgment. I have a fertile imagination. I'm an astute observer of words and people. I work hard to realize my dreams and to make every day better.
You own yourself and can be whatever your heart desires. No one can take that way. Every person has his or her own beauty and talent. I love to meet new people and listen to their life story.... especially intelligent, artistic, Bohemians -- creative people with good taste!
There's is a free spirit inside me - a bit of a Gypsy with a positive, well-balanced energy, a gift, no doubt, from the Tropics!
I love long walks on the beach... fresh coconut juice, watching the sun rise and set... Boats! Napping on a hammock; gazing into the blue sky, the full moon and stars.
I love my friends. I am blessed with good people in my life - good souls who will do anything for me and for whom I will do anything to help. These are my angel friends whom I shall always cherish. It is a wonderful feeling being loved and loving back those whom I care so much about.
Who I'd like to meet:
People who share similar interests and have a passion for art and life. Those with a unique sense of style. A combination of intelligence, talent, creativity and dynamic personality. Fun to be around. Open-minded. Confident. Well-read. Humanistic.
Special thanks to those friends who have introduced me to other great people on My Space. I also thank those who have included me on their Top Friends list. I feel honored and privileged! I read everybody's profile and listen to the music posted by musician friends, who can read my words of support on the their pages.
My heart-felt thanks to you all.
PLEASE NOTE: Friend Requests Sent Without Even A Message Will Be Ignored. I usually have a read or listen to people who request... I really don't like it all of those who just add and request without caring about a request of FRIENDSHIP really is at all...
A BIG THANK YOU:
I want to thank all of my talented friends for decorating my comments section with beautiful words of support and kindness – and for sharing their awesome artworks, photographs and videos.
I also thank the humanitarian organizations. I have not met you all but you mean a great deal to me and I am forever grateful for your support. People with compassion of the heart to fight for freedom and equality... I value those who help to make the world a better place. I feel so honored and privileged in to be part of your circle of friends...
I receive a lots of messages from around the world – so many that it is impossible to respond to them all. I ask that you please be patient in knowing that I am doing my best to keep in touch with everyone – with my existing friends and with those who will become my friends.
If you want to know more about me please just read the About Me section or General on my page. There I answered most of the asked questions. You are welcome to read my blogs, where I express my thoughts and true feelings!!! I thank those of you who subscribe to my blogs and for your positives feedback... It makes me feel happy knowing that my words are meaningful to others and can help them feel better about themselves and the world. *** (^_^) ***

The Power of Impressions
If you are not being moved, touched during the day than how will the spirit awaken...
Yesterday, we were having very unseasonable warm tropical rainy weather here in Southern Oregon, mixed with a touch of winter. It felt very nice… pleasant. I did not have to think about it. You can say there was no me and that which I was enjoying. We were One.
The same principle that awakens nature and gives it life force also lives inside you and me. It is this connection if we give it our attention that changes our relationship for I come to realize that we are in this together.
It is when we are divided that conflict occurs and stops any impressions from coming in. It would be like the Earth telling the rain not today. I want to be barren. It sounds ludicrous but that is exactly what we do when we get negative.
Would it not make sense, instead of getting negative, that we have at our disposal the Beauty the Earth has to offer? All we have to do is look out the window and notice how nature is more vital than my anxious thoughts and feelings. It is better to have a relationship with our environment, that which is real and tangible than to live in a world of dreams.
It is when a person gets tired of going over the same old path and decides to take a different road. In spite of what it may cost them and so turn inward and listen to that small part that is the Heart of our Creator and little by little we begin to awaken to a whole new Understanding.
Thought has its place as far as learning a skill or remembering our next meeting but as far as having a relationship with the Devine only the Heart is capable because it represents in the physical plane our internal clock always beating second to second and reminding us to live in the Present moment. The only place anything true and good can be discovered.
