I find that I enjoy "coloring outside the lines" and have varied interests from Pow Wows and Rendezvous to hiking and tipis, to enjoying Nature, being a long-time Nature Photographer, to music of many genre's to entertaining, dining out, cooking "in", good coffee, living in the mountains with a warm fireplace, being an 'Old-fashioned Romantic':Heart-to-heart touch and affection are also of great importance. I love to give massage and reflexology to my partner:) I also practice Alternative Healing and keeping healthy and believe that Life must be lived with a sincere involvement in what you choose to do each day. I have been called an "Empath" which allows me to have compassion for the planet and all of us who live here. My "Spirituality" is based in Native American Traditions. Although I know that I have Blood from both sides of my family-Eastern Band of Cherokee as well as Shawnee, my Heart has always been with the Lakota and Cheyenne People since I was 6 years old. I try to be Traditional and Respectful of Mother Earth and follow the Red Road with Honor. I am constantly working on a daily basis to incorporate what I have learned into my Life so that I improve as a person - become more "Actualized" as a True Human Being..
