“I was born a poor black child." - Steve Martin
That statement pops into my mind each time I’m asks about my life. I think it’s because I spent the first 4 years of my life living in a VW bus with my Yogi mother. Then my two extraordinary grannies took over until I hit the road at 13.
I started working full time at 14 in the "Human Potential Movement." I was accepted to a college preparatory school called Idyllwild School Of Music and the Arts and graduated as a Dance/Theater major.
As an environmental activist I wrote and produced a newsletter for EarthSave. I then co-wrote and preformed a theatrical presentation throughout the academic year for high schools and middle schools in the US and Canada.
I moved to Maui for 20 years, developed real estate and raised three children in an alternative, co-parenting tribal family. I also attended college at the University of Hawaii for 5 years as a Social Psychology major. I completed an embarrassing amount of “personal growth” seminars and traveled all over the world pretending to be a world citizen.
Three years ago I moved back to Los Angeles to have the best in vitro fertilization in the world. I now have a 3-year-old daughter and another son (frozen embryo). I often joke that he’s in the freezer waiting for his turn in the “oven.”
I am a presenter for several “lifestyle” groups and still happily live, love and co-parent in custom designed relationships.
In December I finished filming an infomercial as a principal in a new Martial Arts fitness program.
I currently write for Jliving a new magazine with a 40,000 circulation in Los Angeles. My two columns are live theater review and “spirit.”
Today I wore a dress from the new Tamera Katz line with my thrift store bought jade earrings and classic saddle shoes.
