About Me:
I'm a gypsy, born in Lima, Peru…raised equally there, and in Los Angeles, Costa Rica, Kauai and the Northwest. I am a single mother raising a soon to be 11 yeal old child with special needs. It has been a beautiful struggle so far, as I learn, grow and expand my recources. I am a wealth of knowledge on DSHS, DDD and Social security. I have worked in an intership with The Welfare rights Organizing Colation, as a resource coordinator for a small non profit org, and (currently) as a server and pastry chef in fine dining. I ran my own event planing/catering business from home for several years and have recently taken a break from it in order to expand in a different area…it's still finding me
I like to wear dresses, I collect vintage handbags and coats, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, forest, beach, thrift shops and gardens. I'm always looking for a good excuse to laugh out loud. It's good for the soul. My home is very visually distracting…full of art and nature.
I am a horrible typist and speller, don't count it against me!
I love tattooos, am a pierced and tattooed freak. I've had almost everything peirced..but removed most of them, a few are too good to lose. Still adding to tattoo collection..I'm addicted. I have many friends who are great tattooo artist, I've bartered for most of my work. To me, it's a way to carry art with me everywhere I go, to decorate the shell that holds my spirit, make it as colorful as what it contains. Each tatto marks an evnt in my life, and by looking at it it floods me with the memories of where I was at that moment in my life, like a little roadmap of my past… and although I don't like to carry my past around with me in other ways, the tats are just on anther level. Just another form of self expression!
I love to create, and when I am don't indulge my creative outlets, I feel stagnant, apathedic and restless. I always need to be making something or thinking aobut making something….from jewelry, clothing, sculpture to baked goods, graphic designs, mosiacs, poems/stories, atmospheres, theme parties or mixed tapes.
I am very interested in expanding my spiritual awareness. I know I have much to learn. I was born inot a Catholic family..but have never practices Catholisism. I am more drawn to Easter religions from the little I know, than Western. I have a facsination with the Virgin Mary, that probably stems from time spent in Catholic churches in South America during my childhood. I have a large collection of them…in my home and on my body.
I love people…and I hate people sometimes..well hate is a strong word so I will take that back…but sometimes I am soooooo ashamed of humans and what they are capable of, how they behave, the choices they make (I include myself in this). There are not very many concsious/aware beings that I encounter an a day to day basis outside of my small social cirlce. This is what brought me HERE.
