I am a musician, writer, amateur photographer/videographer, and lover of LIFE! I’m all about indie music/films/books and conservation/preserving nature and wildlife. The Earth ROCKS! So do YOU! :)
Who Am I? 13 Things….
1. My absolute favorite food is palm hearts OMG. Close ties for second are all the following: asparagus, brussels sprouts, avocados, artichokes, spinach, kimchi, ginger-miso dressing, baba ghanoush, hummus, pistachios, cashews…yeah I love food. I’ve been a vegetarian for over 20 years and a vegan for 2.
2. I think one of the saddest things in life is knowing that someone got the love knocked out of them somehow. Because without it….what are we doing here?
3. I have never broken a bone, never been admitted to a hospital (treated, not admitted). Still can’t figure that one out. Maybe I’m immortal. Eh…nah….lots of guardian angels?
4. I have been fortunate enough to play music on many stages including Hard Rock, House of Blues, festivals and dive bars alike. However, my favorite musical activity is recording. I love to create, record, and see what comes out!
5. When I was 27 I wrecked my bike – skidded under a car, got major road rash and knocked my lower 3 lumbar vertebrae out of place. Lucky to be alive, and even luckier to walk (limp) away from it, albeit a bloody mess. And I’ll always have those 2 herniated discs between, and am very happy to be able to be outdoors, explore, and stay ACTIVE!
6. I have so many ghost encounters that they would probably all seem made up. Plenty of witnesses too. Want me to read you a bedtime story?
7. I suck at video games. I suck at guitar hero. I suck at bowling and darts. I do very little of the above. I do however have a penchant for indie music and films, exploring, sports, nature, wildlife, roller coasters, and funny stuff. Life is funny. I like life!
8. I beat the 2nd place female arm wrestler of the southeast U.S…..as a spectator, after the meet – no trophy there, ha. But that earned me an invitation to compete in the nationals, where I ‘wrestled’ my way up to getting beaten by the 7-time world champ in about 5 seconds flat! (I’m kinda proud of that, 5 seconds is a long time in the context of it.) That event was quite an experience.
9. I sleep with the blanket my grandmother made me every night. Aww, I miss her. But I won’t be taking it on this trip with me, it’s staying home this time 
10. I quit smoking on August 25, 2002 – WOOHOO! Best thing I ever did.
11. I am impatient, funny, driven, organized, and focused, even though I love to have a good time! No ADHD here – that’s just an excuse to get other people to do your dirty work.
12. I can’t swim but I sure wish I could – I love water. But I have eustachian tube issues – so many ear infections, so much pain…not worth it, even though I would love to. I love being on or near oceans, lakes, ponds, and rivers.
13. My favorite instrument to listen to is the cello. Sometimes stops me in my tracks. Beyond beautiful.
Thanks for letting me share a bit of myself with you
Just peeking in on today’s adventure!
