Hometown

my roots are in on the farm

Places I've been

but I never got to live the life I was born to... was adopted and raised in the Big (cr)Apple and I am soooooo not a city girl... I crave wide open spaces, the smell of the earth, the shade of the tree, the bubbling of the brook... someday, someday... a goal is a dream with a deadline and my goal is to return to my roots in some way, shape or form

Work

• Howie the Harp Advocacy Center, Director of Training & Education - 2005 to 2007

More about me

one way to get to know someone is to know a bit about what makes their heart smile, what makes their blood race... reading a good book does that for me... The Kite Runner transported me into a world I otherwise wouldn't have access to; listening to music I love swells my heart and infuses me with a sense of wellness - my passion at the moment is an Italian by the name of Eros Ramazzotti http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZGJUDZWDUU... check him out... check out the size of the crowd... he is the master of his instruments - his voice and his guitar... regardless of the size of the cloud looming over my head sometimes, his music can fix it... let me know what you think of him :)
