Passion for the Dance

This was my first independent solo...I performed a dance to the tune Timber and Wood by Xavier Rudd...it was complete improv...and I loved it!!! Oh...this was at Central NC Pagan Pride Day...

about me
I'm a 41 yr old, pagan mother of 2...a 19 yr old son and a 12 yr old daughter...I just started out in belly dance and am completely enthralled...I have favourites in both Cabaret and Tribal style...being Ansuya Rathor and Rachel Brice, respectively...
I'm also a board member at the Church of the Earth of North Carolina...cote-nc.org/site/index.php...the Spirit element...which is technically the High Priestess position...I follow my own path...just mostly in honouring the Earth and her gifts to us...
Dance seems to be an extension of this in that it honours the goddess in us all...so I guess it was a logical step for me...
Continuing on my path every day, because it's the journey that counts...not the destination.

My Testimonials

April 10, 2008
Bek has become one of my most unexpected friends. Society says we shouldn't even be cordial much less have a great time together. She's the mother of my beautiful 13 year old stepdaughter. She's kind, funny, generous, and destined for a rest of her lifetime of love, peace, happiness, joy, harmony, balance, and all the other good stuff that happens when you find your true soul mate, and your true home.

T'is my honor to write a Testimonial to my newfound tribe friend, Rebekah who, like my lil sis, resides in the great state of NC. From what little I can gather, this young lady is friendly, happy, witty, and fun. I look forward to more correspondence to enlighten each other to our likes/dislikes - as well as - to share in frivolity (spelling?). :)

welcome Rebekah!!

Psycho-babble

This is my sweetheart, doing a slow practice of a new move he's learned on his double staves. I can't count how many times I'd sit out on that patio and watch him spinning...when he free spins, it's like being hypnotised.

You can see his new pup, Sasha, at the beginning...I love how she bobbles her head, following the movement of the staves...she's so cute.

But he's even cuter...!!! (yes, I'm biased)

This is a video by an independent Oz muso (musician) that both myself and Pat are very big fans of. One our our friends, Alex, knows him and is working on arranging to have him play for us on our wedding day. This is only one example of his music, but I hope you enjoy...cuz I know we will.

Oceans of love!!!

So, I guess I need to make this announcement, too.

On December 29, I acquired my first grandchild...a beautiful little girl named Joceyln May. She was named so that she could be called what I used to call my son when he was little...Josie. (like the outlaw Josie Wells)

Altho she wasn't born under the best of circumstances, neither was my son, and he's turned out to be a very loving, caring young man, whom I hope will go on to make me even more proud than he already has.

I've not... read more

Well, I guess it's about time I report in...I wasn't able to do much online while I was in Oz, due to fickle computers...they just don't want to seem to work...but I'm now back in NC...and I wanna go baaaaaaack!!!

My trip was absolutely awesome...my Pogo is everything I thought he'd be and more...from the time I got there, I felt like I'd come home...

As you can see by some of the pics in my photos, Oz, itself is spectacular...mountains so like ours, barring the volcanic rock...but inst... read more

~As many drops of water as are in the vast sea that separates us~
~As many grains of sand as cover the golden shore~

Poesy

~*To One in Paradise*~

Thou wast all to me, love
For which my soul did pine--
A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine,
All wreathed in faery fruits and flowers;
And all the flowers were mine.

Ah, dream too bright to last!
Ah, starry Hope, that didst arise
But to be overcast!
A voice from out the Future cries,
"Onward!" --but o'er the Past
(Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies,
Mute--motionless--aghast!

For alas! alas! with me
The light of life is o'er,
"No more--no more--no more,
(Such language holds the solemn sea
To the sands upon the shore),
Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree,
Or the stricken eagle soar!

Now all my days are trances;
And all my nightly dreams
Are where my dark eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.

Alas! for that accursed time
They bore thee o'er the billow,
From Love to titled age and crime,
And an unholy pillow!--
From me, and from our misty clime,
Where weeps the silver willow!

~Edgar Allan Poe
