About Me

* I love pearls and jewlery, chocolates and ice cream - but not together, that would make me choke.

* I believe in being honest, I believe in being true...

* Mean people suck

* Children are our greatest teachers

* I love music of all kinds, particularily Taylor Swift, Greenday, The Cure and classical

* I was lucky enough to find the love of my life when I was only 20.  I'm even luckier to call him my best friend.

* I call my husband Ben.  His name is Jay.

* What goes around comes around

* I believe in shopping therapy: mostly for clothes and shoes, but secretly I'm a perfume addict.

* I love my piano students - they are the absolute greatest!

* My fans are the coolest too, though that may be a little presumptious of me since those fans are my family and those terrific piano students!

"I did not begin when I was born, nor when I was conceived. i have been growing, developing, through incalculable myriads of millenniums. All my previous selves have their voices, echoes, promptings in me."
