Music is the very breath that sustains me. Music, my love of this land, and most of all, my family, give me such a fulfilling purpose in this life. They make my life whole. My brilliant husband Johnny and my amazing daughter Béla are the finest gifts to me. Having the privilege to know them… has made me most blissful.
There are a number of unique places on this land that I feel especially close to. Other times, other lives perhaps…I feel a call to protect this place, to nurture it.
I have my own business called Golden Goddess Gourds.

I love Barack Obama. I think he is very inspiring. Wanna change the world? Help this man, and help all of us.
I will sing of stately Aphrodite, gold-crowned and beautiful, whose dominion is the walled cities of all sea-set Cyprus. There the moist breath of the western wind wafted her over the waves of the loud-moaning sea in soft foam, and there the gold-filleted Hours welcomed her joyously. They clothed her with heavenly garments: on her head they put a fine, well-wrought crown of gold, and in her pierced ears they hung ornaments of orichalc and precious gold, and adorned her with golden necklaces over her soft neck and snow-white breasts, jewels which the gold- filleted Hours wear themselves whenever they go to their father's house to join the lovely dances of the gods. And when they had fully decked her, they brought her to the gods, who welcomed her when they saw her, giving her their hands. Each one of them prayed that he might lead her home to be his wedded wife, so greatly were they amazed at the beauty of violet-crowned Cytherea.
