More about me

NAMASTE:  I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells, I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Integrity, of Wisdom and of Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One.

I'm married , work as an internal auditor, love to read, museums, grew up with parents who were artists and art teachers and a brother with artistic talent yet I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler.  Love wine, love trying new wine.  Have cats (three currently), one who's diabetic.   Most identify myself with Buddhism and Quaker values.  Throw pottery (and find it to be as good as therapy and a lot cheaper!)  Also love technology and will gleefully call myself a geek.  I just had to buy a new purse to hold my iPod nano, my moto Q cell phone (so I can check the web and send e-mail) and my Kindle (amazon's electronic book system that my husband calls eletronic crack for me because I do so love to read......)

 

Eating is mainly vegetarian with some fish/seafood thrown in (I do still eat dairy).  Love to cook and experiment with new foods and love to go to farmers market so I can get beautiful fresh produce while supporting local farmers and businesses.  We also love eating out at different ethinc restaurants and having spicy foods.

I love to try new things. 

Take me as I am
Someone you don't know
Even in the dark
You may not be sure
Take me while you can
I can see you standing in the smoky entrance
Giving up your good intentions

Leave the shadows dancing
Dancing on their own
Let the moments free you now
And leave it all behind you
I'll know where you've gone
Let the world go on

Take me as I am
I may disappear
Fade into the night
Lighther than your thoughts
Take me while you can
Never knowing who or what you are until you're
Living with the unfamiliar

Leave the shadows dancing
Dancing on their own
Let the moments free you now
And leave it all behind you
I'll know where you've gone
Let the world go on

There's a place where fear won't find you
Where your secret dreams remind you
This is all you have to know and
This is all you have to go on
Everything you have inside you
Everything you need to guide you
This is all you have to know and
This is all you have to go on

Take me as I am
Someone you could know
Even as we speak
You could change your mind
Take me while you can
Even if you shine a light into a mirror
You won't see me any clearer

Leave the shadows dancing
Dancing on their own
Let the moments free you now
And leave it all behind you
I'll know where you've gone
Let the world go on
