More about me

A mom of 3 (grown ups now ) and a grandma of one beautiful little boy. Reinventing my life once again but then such is life.  Wish me luck fellow travelers and I wish you the same.

Happy Trails, wherever your journey takes you.

PS even though I've changed my relationship status to "looking" once again, local guys only please.  I like where I live and I think you need regular contact to really get to know a person and that physical contacts tell you more than online or phone. (Plus are a LOT more fun!!!) Thanks, Su-Z

Activities

Doing massage therapy, lots of reading, esp. now as I've gone back to school for a Master's in Psychology (with a concurrent goal of a Ph.D.) I've also taken up belly dancing lately, for the great sensual energy it creates as it exercises and stretches every part of the body. It's been a lot of fun. I also do Spring Forest Chi Gong and yoga and Mauri Winsor's pilates for health and energy and to look nice; (let's face it, we all want to look our best). Other than that, talking to friends or family and bouncing my grandbaby on my knee every chance I get, not much else going on but I'm content with my life and myself being "enough"...at least for now. ;)

Favorite Charities

American Red Cross (as a blood donor)

Favorite Music

Soulful blues like Anita Baker, or more popular like Alicia Keyes, Italian opera singers like Andrea Bocelli, some country singers like Faith Hill. I like too many to list really. For the rest let's just say, generally speaking, if I can dance to it, I like it...lol! Have always felt this way so it's a loooong list.

Favorite TV Shows

Court TV, Monk, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Sponge Bob Square Pants...lol (especially when I can borrow a kid to watch it with me, otherwise I just look silly..lol!)

Favorite Movies

Had to update this as I just saw a movie I wanted to see since the first preview and boy was it worth the wait, "3:10 to Yuma" (Whoo Hoo!) also saw (and loved) Mystery, Alaska, (a movie w/ heart and fun and...)"Snatch", ("a pikey reaction is quite a @#$ thing!" lol), "What About Bob?", "Office Space", "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe", "You've Got Mail", The "Die Hard" Series (altho' I haven't seen the latest one yet), "Bad Boys", "Jerry McGuire", and soooo many others. DON'T like horror/slasher.

Favorite Books

Douglas Adams books, and Janet Evanovich's (funny) murder mysteries, other than that most of my shelves are filled with books on health, healing and metaphysical subjects.

Favorite Quotes

"When people show you who they are, believe them" Maya Angelou (boy is that true!) also Anais Nin's, "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom, ” (been there too, and still go there again and again...)

Favorite People

my g'baby, (perfection), my kids (in spite of their orneriness at times--they get it from their dad...lol!) my mom (although she passed on years ago), my dad, (despite his oneriness..hey is there a pattern here? lol!) And too many other characters to list.

Favorite Places

Kona, Hi., any beachy location really

Favorite Animals

Love most of them, but penguins, puppies and kittens are TOO cute! Cats are cool because they take care of themselves...I like that in a pet. But beta fish are my weakness. I love their beauty and grace and they are really quite fun pets too if you know how to work with them.
