About Me

My photo
I am 35, divorced, 1 son 7 years old. I live with my family. I lead a spiritual life within a Native American Medicine and Shamanism realm. I am an active solo musician as well as a part of "The Baghdad String Benders". I currently live and work in Baghdad, Iraq as a civilian contractor. I am versed in Middle Eastern, West African and Native American rhythms etc. I am also a "Trance Dancer" Perhaps also referred to as Totem Dancing, (not affiliated with Traditional Pow Wow dancing.) I also love the outdoors, camping, hiking, chasing storms (not for profit, more for personal pleasure). I am a diverse character to be sure.

So, 23 days smoke free. I think I am finally past most of the psychological issues presented to me in a smoke free environment. I find that I feel SO much better now and it's not even gotten to the 30 day mark yet! I can't wait to see how I feel after the 90 day mark! WOW! I am so anxious to start my work out, I almost started the other day, but I can still feel a little bit of my lung capacity resisting. So, I'll wait a little longer to see how much better I can get my body to respond before I start training.

Okay, another topic. Music. Have I mentioned I am a musician? Have I mentioned that I love playing and singing? I must mention in this post, how much I appreciate being given talents that I can use and build upon in my life. Thank God for gifting me with rhythm, a good ear for tunes and the ability to express myself. I don't know what I would do without the gifts. Guess I would be considered "normal" (shudder) God forbid!

I DO wish to give a shout out to my band mates in "Lost Generation", last night rehearsal was SMOKIN! Also to Universal Rehearsal in Dallas, for providing the service they do to the musical community of Dallas. They provide a great place to rehearse and perfect our craft. To all the bands in DFW, keep playing, practicing, gigging...keep dreaming of success, keep working towards making an impact on the music scene, eventually those dreams will be realized!

Peace!
