Live life to its fullest - never let a moment pass you by, you dont know just what might really be there
Love every moment - anger and depression take tooo much energy, let love forgive and flow freely.
Laugh - it heals the heart, mind, body, and soul making the good times great the bad times good, and brings a smile.
Learn - the more you learn the more you live, love, and laugh.

Why get stuck in life, stuck in some moment of contentment when YOU KNOW there is so much more available to you, so much that YOU CAN do with what you already have? Choose to start achieving at life - to actualizing your dreams, your beliefs, your knowledge.

I am a student of life. There have been many ups and many downs. At times it has been easy to let go of the flow of life and try to stay in one place, to get snarled up in a beavers damn. Over and over I keep learning/discovering that life is not meant to be held up it is meant to flow to be in a state of action a state of achieving. I learned that one must embrace trust, faith, and love... that we do not have control over everything we do have our perceptions and actions, which is in many ways everything. I learned that discipline is empowering, questioning a power often misused, and that fears can be motivators.

I an not on your exact path, and will not simply give you the exact answers that will solve all of your problems, but I am sure that you do know them and that you have the resources already to start on that journey!! I know that life can be trusted, I am certain that we shape our worlds through our perceptions, actions, and reactions.. that by operating through love, peace, humility, with purpose we can understand our motivators (and immobilizers) and move to achieving our greatest dreams and being able to help others find theirs.

Take a look at the blogs that will be placed here - some are inspirational, some facing those challenges we face in daily life, some ask questions, some about personal struggles, and some are bits of poetry or musings about anything and everything. I get into writing bits where I just keep writing and other times where I will go weeks, even months, without writing anything. I will be reposting things from older blogs here and on my old profile as part of consolidating as well so if you read it before know there will be new stuff - hehe!!

Loved going to the Harmony Festival 2007 in California - it was an enlightening and wonderful event getting to meet with and talk to elders, healers, crafters, and so many more. *smiles*

Lady Liadin, PubWench, GypsyDeb, and both Deb and Debbie are the names I go by. They each are part of who I am and what I enjoy doing in life.

I have been active with the Bay Area Renaissance Festival since it started at MOSI in Tampa - with visits on occasion to it when it was in Largo.

These are two of the best pubs along with Seahorse at the Faire hehe. I have worked at the above two as PubWench but am known to often just decide to be a playtron and get to see all the great shows and have fun with friends!!
I have gotten to travel and go to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in California and have hopes to visit other faires around the county.

Newly part of the SCA though I did attend Pennsic Wars 2007 (a unique adventure with a broken leg). Looking forward to going to more events both locally and around the country. So far its just Pennsic, a BOD meeting here in Tampa, and Estrella War (an awakening experience) recently!!

USF Religious Studies Club
I'm a graduate student at USF working on a MA in Religious Studies - there is a chance I might get it this fall but one never knows these things.Studies generally go all over the place, thus taking awhile to finish. Classes in entrepreneurship, philosophy, environmental science/policy, & countless others have intrigued and kept my mind going -- going where I wonder sometimes!!

I live in St. Petersburg Fl where I am part of the Chamber of Commerce - though my site LocalVita.com (which I am debating on keeping). I have lived in or around the TampaBay area for some 19yrs and was born here. I did spend about 9yrs growing up in the mountains of NC and they are a favorite place to regularly visit!!

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST AND HEALER.
I have been a LMT in the State of Florida (MA 30051) since 1999. I have a website but it is not up at this time (though will be again soon). My specializations are deep tissue/neuromuscular, some assisted stretching, relaxation, energy, and guided meditational massage. I am beginning to teach/lead classes in guided meditation, finding your world, and more.
The office I work out of is in St. Petersburg, FL and is called Alternative Therapy Center. *This is not where classes will be. The general rate is $60 for a massage at the office. My rate for out-calls throughout the Tampa are is also $60 but with an additional $15 for travels outside of St. Petersburg (This going to Tampa is $75 for an out-call). I do have discounts for RenaissanceFaire/SCA people, for USF Students, and for other healers.

My friends are very important to me in so many ways and I love each one dearly. Those who I bring into my life I will be there for in any way I can and so long as they invite/allow. I look for the absolute best in people and life. I like to help people see what makes them so special and let my friends and those I love know often that I do find them to be special and that I appreciate them in my life.

I love him in so many ways - and I did fall in love with Ken. He reminded me that no matter what I had to live (fully/completely), had to be completely open in all ways, had to go with the flow, that I didn't deserve to be hurt, that I could have dreams come true... and you know he was right in ways neither of us knew or likely know. For this and so much more I will in some sense always love & cherish him and will always be there.
