I enjoy a balanced life – playing as equally hard as I work. I believe in living a healthy lifestyle – mind, body, and spirit. My life in the past few years have been enriched with my yoga practice, painting, family and traveling.

I am a big proponent of traveling – both domestically and internationally – which has become a passion of mine. (International places of travel: Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, Shanghai, Beijing, Xian, Cuzco, MachuPicchu, Costa Rica and Bolivia.)

As of late, I am putting more care and attention to my path in painting. Dating is not an option for me right now since I need to stay focused on my artwork. I have a post here on PoF to make friends and share my passion (should the occasion arise).

One last thing...please do NOT add me as a FAVORITE. I don't agree with that feature and would rather not have some stranger aware of my last time visited unless we've been corresponding in the past.

For those who have asked me about the meaning behind my choice of song...."Good-Bye Horses": 'In an Eastern philosophy "horses" are symbolic/representative of the 5 senses - the things that keep us tied to the physical/material plane of existence. When you can transcend the limitations of these senses and achieve a higher level of consciousness, you are leaving the "horses" behind - "flying over them." The song is about someone who was so affected by (A loss? A breakup?) they decide to give up the things that keep them tied to this world by emotion.'

I am not one to pass things along but this is great therapy for a tough day!

1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. Notice if they slow down.

2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice!

3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if he/she wants fries with that.

4. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

5. In the memo field of all your checks, write: "For Marijuana".

6. Skip down the hall rather than walk and see how many looks you get.

7. Order a diet water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.

8. Specify that your drive-through order is 'To Go'.

9. Sing along at the opera.

10. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you have a headache.

11. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won! I Won!"

12. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot yelling: "Run For Your Lives! They're Loose!"

13. Tell your children over dinner, "Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go go."

14. PICK UP A BOX OF CONDOMS AT THE PHARMACY, GO TO THE COUNTER AND ASK WHERE THE FITTING ROOM IS.
