I have an affinity for the underdog. I have always befriended those who were outcasts or people who were misunderstood,cheated out of life and so on. I have always advocated for others but have left myself out in the rain (I don't do that anymore, thank you!)
I lived in Tucson, Arizona for 24 years where I did the two hardest things that I could have ever done. I have triumphed over my own pain and helped others the best I know how. I moved from Tucson to Iowa about 4 years ago.
I love the earth, the mountains have been my source of strength for many years. The desert provided a place in which my old self could wither away and a new one reborn. (Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes) I am not perfect, in fact I am a work in progress and always will be. I honor the place in which I meet you and in spirit we are connected to the whole.

negativity, self centered people, American movies, stupid slapstick comedies/sitcoms
