Tarot and Astrology for over 35 YEARS and a bit more about me...
CLICK HERE for the Reclaiming site!
I grew up in a rock n' roll radio station that my father owned. My family was very musical as I was growing up, my Dad played xylophone in a jazz band, my brother is a rock n' roll drummer and my nephew plays drums in a punk band. I am an English Major and have minors in the Film Arts and Political Science. I have worked in Military Intelligence (is that an oxy-moron or what?), Internet Sales and Marketing, Indymedia Op-ed writer, Internet Publishing, Technical Writing, Media Ratings Analyst, Union Waitress (in DC), Customer Service, Singer/Backup Vocalist in a band, Retail Sales. Right now, I am a community activist and Internet Networker and IT Consultant (and Internet Junkie!). I organize several anti-war groups and work closely with such topics as election reform and political movements involving peace and sustainability. Fresh off of working for one year with a presidential campaign, now during the day I am an End of Life or Death Doula. Most of my patients are Hospice cases and often, my work often takes me to the dying person's bedside. This work is very rewarding to me and I love working with the families as well. I am also a licensed CNA. In my spare time (what little bit I have), I appreciate the Arts, Music and Film. I spend a lot of my time writing, reading, camping (when I can), being outdoors, swimming, yoga, meditation, caring for my animals and nature. I love the news, current affairs and politics and intelligent comedy, news programs, NPR, Community Radio, and boxing on TV. I listen to music of all kinds, sing and play percussion and a little guitar and hand drumming. I have lived in Europe as a traveler with a backpack and as an active duty military member, Washington DC, Omaha, Denver, Maryland, Michigan and Pennsylvania. I have also traveled to Mexico, the Islands and my beloved Canada. My mate and I are currently residing in Zephyrhills, Florida, in the woods just north of Tampa, the home of our state's famous SPRING WATERS and very close to the headwaters of the Hillsborough River (in the Green Swamp). We are also exploring the possibility of eventually living in an INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY, not sure where. We love to gourmet cook, swim, play with our fur and scale children and watch good movies when we are at home. I practice magick regularly and as often as I can with a close circle of like-minded sisters that mean the world to me.

Dislikes
War, the abolishing of the use of Depleted Uranium, nuclear weapons and nuclear energy and any Chemical Weapons and/or Weapons of Mass Destruction, Injustice in any form. Banning the use of Aspartame and other poisonous food additives and carcinogens from our food supply.
"Mr. Speaker, we make war with such certainty, yet we are befuddled how to create peace. This paradox requires reflection, if we are to survive. Making and endorsing war demands a secret love of death, a fearful desire to embrace annihilation. Creating peace requires the mirror of compassion -- putting ourselves in the other person's place, in all their suffering, with all their hopes -- acting from our heart's capacity for love, not fear. The fight against terrorism in the 21st century is beginning to have the feel of the fight against communism in the 20th century: Conjuring of enemies, scapegoating and wanton destruction. Our war on terror has become a war of errors as we blindly exercise our capacity for war making. We have not yet begun to explore our capacity for peacemaking, so we are reduced to a predatory voyeurism: creating war, watching war, being aghast at war, impotent to stop ourselves. We are the most powerful nation, but even we do not have to power to reserve for ourselves, or to grant to our allies, an exemption from the laws of cause and effect. The fate of the world lies in the balance at this time. Until we consciously choose peace over war, life over death, love over hate -- the balance is tipping toward mutually assured destruction. Please... let us reconsider our actions."
US Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio) Speech to the House of Representatives, July 18, 2006
"Justice is not a flexible tool. Unless we all do our part to ensure that justice is applied equally to all human beings, we are a party to its abuse. We must stand together to protect the rights of others." Leonard Peltier
"All violence is terrorism!"
"Love is the action of soul satisfaction!"
"You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it into PEACE!"
Michael Franti
