Profile

Relationship Status:: Married

About Me:: WORK HARD, PLAY HARD
I want to see the world. I make dreams come true. I like to make money and I like to spend it. I like when my friends can come out and play!

My Birthdate:: February 15th - Aquarius

My Website:: http://www.getrefresh.com

My Favorite Website:: http://www.nicolasderksen.com

My School or Alma Madder:: San Jose State University

My Accomplishments:: I have the two BEST kids! After college, I had the corporate startup - gone big - job and started my own business that we later sold. I also started a family along the way! I am currently 1st VP of Education on PTA Board at Williams Elementary. I coach kids softball and soccer, and am involved in about all you could imagine. I love to volunteer for good causes. 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, Professional, To Network, To Make Friends, To Share Ideas

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 although my lifestyle doesn't blend! 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. I love to spend holidays with my family. I enjoy meeting new people. I love my pet Skittles. I could go on forever, you know... :-)

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
to seeing the movie, if you still decide to see it:

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 pampered, t… 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 meeker.

Candace

my name is Candace

inside there's an angel,
trying to come out,
with wings on my back
a hay lo on top,
extending my hand ,
to make you my friend,

the world is so cruel,,
the lack of understanding,
blinds them to the fact.
i am a precious jewel,

narrow minded and fear ,
all they see is a cocoon,
who are they to judge me
ugly what is the meaning ,
when beauty is only skin deep,

if you took the time to know me,
i would open your eyes to see,
all wonders of life,
the true meaning of paradise,

but you waste so much time judging a face,
not caring to look past the tear trace,
why do you fear when you can understand,
i am a person who loves,who feels,
who needs ,who wants,
to be somebodies friend,

so when i approach you,
my name is not monkey girl
in a world of surface thrills,
you can not see the beauty within,
the rivers ,mountains oceans sky,,
or hear the sounds of a humming bird in flight,
birds singing butterflies fluttering ,
peacocks colors strutting ,

i am so much more ,
my name is not monkey girl,
my soul,my spirit ,my heart,
my mind ,is so pleasing in Gods sight,
as the angels dance they call my name,
my name,my name is Candace,,for a friend wizthom
i plan to donate 30% of book sells on our little angels behalf,
mimi author candace publishing who is a member will be doing the inspirational book,,yes ur photos will be in it as w

independence day,

I wanna be free-to reach for my dreams,

i wanna be free-- to achieve no matter,

how far fetch to you they seem,

i wanna be free--to live in peace,
i wanna be free --to see my fantasy,

in the mist of worldly reality,

on these words i shell not choke

to most independence day means cook outs ,fire works,

giving our country it's due ,

as we honor red white and blue

lets take a moment to give the Creator praise,

for giving us another day to find our way,

to that place where being truly free,

is a hunger thats satisfies the need,

there's no other country like ours in the world,

where people come together to speak as one voice,

we have the right to practice our choice,

i just wanna be free to say to all,

have a happy safe forth, peace , wizthom

LOVE IS THE FORCE ,THAT RULES US ALL,,

I am similar to you as far as hodge podging goes. My music ranges from hard rock to classical... even Johnny Cash to Yanni. I have a favorite beer....depending on the season(month). no favs for food, book or much else. Plus way too many hobbies. I agree probably a psych issue.
Tropical Island with blue skies are always good. My favorite bar in the world resides in St. Thomas.
In efforts to expand our customer base my company has been making a slow conversion from one that only prints to printing and marketing. Not an easy road in a slow economy....but the marketing side of things are starting to shape up. Persoanlized url campaigns are getting clients attention. Being the campaign creative and lead technical builder I really want that to take off.
I think I've replied to most of your comments......I should probaly uplaod some more tunes....somes stuff Nicolas would like.
Have a fantastic weekend. If you gt sick of the fires come to MN the weather is awesome!

Life is very good in MN.

We remixed your favorite, as it was our choice to go on the bonus CD from Misty Mountain Hop a Tribute to Led Zepplin due out this summer! I uploaded the fresh mix. Now you should be able to hear all of the instruments and the levels are pretty even across the board. We are working in the studio on our new CD "Live at Stewarts Place" also due out this summer. Hope to upload a couple tunes off of it soon!
Cheers,
Marc

my love ,how can this be,
you are so much apart of me,
the sight for my eyes to see,
the openness that set's me free,
the half that makes me complete,
the want that is a need,
the very air i breathe,

without you i will share a fate,
worst than death,
like being the first to cross the finish line,
and still losing the race,

like wine that's bitter to taste,
with out you this life is such a waste,peace wisemanspeeks@o7
