ABOUT ME

Singer-songwriter, amateur poet, communication specialist, jazz fan and a traveler. One can always add more but I am a simply a woman of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"" -Jack Kerouac
