I am currently Chairing a fundraiser for the Bret Harte Middle School Dance Team to raise $$ for their National Competition...
- Why I'm Here:
- Personal, To Make Friends, To Learn, To Change the World
- My Passion:
- Having fun! I like to play sports with the kids. I LOVE to dance, although I never took a class as my daughter does, but I can freestyle all day long! I love fine dinning - especially if I am not the chef, although I do like to cook! I just don't like to clean up the mess afterwards! I love to get together with my friends to catch up.

- My Dreams:

- What Else?:
- I love to travel and meet new people and see new places. Last year I went on a Caribbean cruise and it was amazing! I love tropical places... I enjoyed the jungles of Kauai this last summer and didn't want to leave... I hadn't traveled prior to that, in a long time, because the kids were too young, but now that they are getting older, I am getting more freedom to play again. LOOK OUT!

The Golden Compass
In the group "The Movie Lovers" the movie The Golden Compass was brought up...
How do you feel about a children's author pushing atheism? Should it be disclosed?
Commentary:
So, I heard the author of The Golden Compass is an atheist and in the end of the book series,
the kids kill God.
I checked it out and it is true. I think I will keep my kids away from this one... This is good reading prior

Mistle Toe: Mystical, Mystery or Misery?
It is the holiday season. Why is it so hard for some to enjoy the holidays, while others have a one-track need for all to be jolly and hang decorations, maybe Mistle Toe or holly?
What does Mistle Toe mean to you? The complexity and variability of Mistle Toe, eerily remind me of the intricacy and diversity of human nature.
How can one person face hardship, loss, and maybe even abuse, and still be the strongest amongst us, while others who “appear” (key word) almost… Continue

Lost Poem
I hear his laughter, but it is in my mind.
I see him laughing, like a passage through time.
I don’t want to lose each memory, so dear.
But they are fading and not as clear.
I find myself staring at the empty chair
With a pensive, blank, yet lonely stare.
I need a sign of his love for me.
It meant so much, the trunk of our family tree.
The stab of pain in my heart grows weaker.
As the days, weeks, months drift by and the pain becomes… Continue

NPR's All Thing's Considered
I Vs. We: The 'Heart' Of Our Political Differences
For years, the Tea Party has held individualism up as the great American value. But columnist E.J. Dionne Jr. says that Americans historically have prized communitarianism just as much. In Our Divided Political Heart, Dionne argues that America is at its best when it balances the two.Egyptians Prepare For Historic Presidential Vote
More than a year after its revolution, Egypt votes for a new president on Wednesday and Thursday. The race is wide open and none of the 12 candidates is expected to get an outright majority. If those forecasts prove true, a runoff will take place next month between the two top vote-getters.'It Worked For Me': Life Lessons From Colin Powell
If you're looking for advice on leadership, it's good to start with a four-star general. In his new memoir, former Secretary of State Colin Powell offers advice and anecdotes drawn from his childhood in the Bronx and his military career — and reflects candidly about the lead-up to the Iraq war.R.I. Strikes Out On Ex-Pitcher's Video Game Venture
After helping the Boston Red Sox win the World Series, pitcher Curt Schilling could do no wrong. Then news broke that his video game company had chewed through a $75 million state loan that it's struggling to pay off. Now, Rhode Island officials are moving to protect taxpayers from what appears to have been a very bad investment.Former Taliban Stronghold Faces The Post-U.S. Future
In 2010, the southern Afghan town of Marjah was a haven for the Taliban and drug traffickers. Today, after a massive effort by the U.S. Marines, the Taliban have fled and the area is relatively peaceful. But many are concerned about Marjah's future once American combat forces leave the area.As Egyptians Prepare To Vote, Jimmy Carter Watches 'Complete Transformation'
The former president is in Egypt to observe its first free presidential election, which begins on Wednesday.Facebook Stock Continues Tumble After IPO
Facebook shares fell again on Tuesday — dropping almost 9 percent after falling 11 percent on Monday. It makes Facebook's initial public offering one of the worst performing IPOs of the past five years.Exoneration List Shows Patterns In False Convictions
While we assume our judicial system occasionally makes mistakes, until recently no one had been tracking the number people in this country who are convicted and later exonerated. Now the National Registry of Exonerations has begun compiling these cases. Audie Cornish talks with the registry's editor, Samuel Gross, about some of the group's findings from the over 2,000 exonerations they've compiled.Is Al-Qaida Dropping Clues About Planned Attacks?
Al-Qaida has had a habit of putting out subtle hints about attacks it's planning. In the wake of the recent airline bombing plot that was foiled, officials are looking back to see if the group telegraphed its intentions.School Bus Driver Who Saved Students 'Was A Hero'
On Tuesday, family and loved ones in Chowchilla, Calif., remember a school bus driver who many consider an American hero. Thirty-six years ago, Ed Ray was driving his regular school bus route when it was hijacked. Everyone aboard was driven 100 miles, forced into a storage van, and buried alive. Audie Cornish speaks with Lynda Carrejo-Labendeira, who was on the bus that day.Forums
