about me
I am a woman of mystery, passion and fyre.
I am known by many through my performing arts and their personas...as a bellydancer I grace the stage as "Suraleah". In the heat of the moment when the fyre burns bright "Sassy" comes out to commune with fire poi. In the darkness, when shadows merge with the black of night I enter your dreams...a "Beautiful Nightmare". Caught between two worlds, from a different time and place, I reside in a kingdom where chivalry and honor, dignity and respect, are the order of the day. Therein lies my true world, the land of my visions and the residence of my dreams. The Barony of Lothian in the Kingdom of Logres is where you'll find me, "Dame Vivian Wynncara".
I don't care for following fads or trends; but would rather express my individuality through my fashion, art, speech and writing.
I love meeting people, all kinds of people, and exploring those things that connect us and those things that make us different. Diversity rules...uniqueness rules...individuality rules. Cookie-cutter sameness sucks.
It isn't enough to just be alive...I want to truly LIVE and live TRUELY.

I've got an appointment to see an orthopedic doctor on Monday afternoon. This is the doctor who treated Stan's frozen shoulder and Stan really liked her expertise and manner and her "not going to rush into surgery" mentality. So, I'll see her Mo...

A passion of mine has always been a rather romanticized version of medieval knights in shining armor and beautiful ladies. Yes, I'm a dreamer and through the decades that little girl's dream has stayed with me. My parents never knew and even my wonderful husband of over 35 years didn't know. Now they do.
Though my husband does not participate in my medieval p...

Leah is great! :)
She is not afriad to show who she is to the world! Her insecurities and her strengths.
Not too many people are willing to do that, so she is like a refreshing breeze!
I'm sure I'll write another testimonal again sometime, as I get to know Leah even better! :) Which of course, I'm looking forward to!

I have only had the fortune of meeting this incredible woman once and she has already left an impression. Back stage before my first solo, and feeling very underprepared and run over, and just by being herself, she made me feel so much better, and like I was included, and not just a 'new' performer. In a moment, she can feel like your best friend who you've known absolutely all of your life. Thank you so much Leah, you saved my performance!

So far from me and yet she knows my heart. The universe swirls around us as we tend to grown children and reap the benefits of being grandparents. She is wild and fyrey and yet cookies and milk flow from her as from the great Mother Goddess. She is a Christian of Christians and her example always gives me hope.
Blessings of our Lord on you my dear Leah, and Blessed Be.
From my heart,
Luna

Leah is a very courageous woman, who's been to the dark side of Hell, and lived to tell the tale. I've only known her for a short time on Tribe, but knowing everything she's survived inspires me. Now I feel like there is nothing life can throw at me that I can't handle, or survive, because Leah is living proof that it can be done. I feel very grateful to have met her. :)

Leah is the most wonderful, beautiful friend you could know... she's mama to all belly dancers as well as a vivacious dancer herself. She supports dancers wholeheartedly and gives so much of herself to people.
I feel lucky to know her!!
