I'm sure by now that many people out there in Web Land would
like to know.... Who is the woman behind the Dark Shadow, who
is the woman behind the wolf?  Well, I'm gonna put my pictures
on this page for all to view and hopefully not impair anyone's eye
vision!  Hehehe... *weg*  Now I am gonna give ya's a before and
after picture! The before is from my days of singing, touring, and
drugs, alcohol, and insanity... The after picture is me clean and
sober for almost 10 years, which was taken about three years
ago.  I am still clean and sober, just made it to my 12th year.


Wooooooo Hoooooo! Yes I am very proud of this accomplishment.
It has not been an easy road, but I wouldn't trade my worst day
clean and sober for my best day using!  Today I am living the
miracles that it talks about in the Big Book!  I no longer crave
drugs or booze, I can handle situations that once baffeled me,
and I surely have had a wonderful spiritual awakening.

I have started a new and very poetry intense website.
Each page has its own poem scrolling on a wolf lake
applet. I have two pages done thus far and about
20 or so more pages to go. Many of the photos are
the work of Monty Sloan world renowed and greatly
respected wolf photographer. The website address is:

This is me before, this picture was taken in January of
1989 in Oakland, California were my band and I were
performing doing a Martin Luther King's Jr. B-Day
Celebration.  I was in my thirties at the time.
This is my after picture. Years and pounds later *ROFL*
However I wouldn't trade not one of my added pounds for
nothing, as the big beautiful woman that I am now is happy
and very content. I love being clean and sober, I love being
able to feel... Walking around numb for so many years, I
missed out on so much living, growing, pain, and joy! 


Can you see the wolf in my eyes? I cast a golden reflection
from my eyes. It's very irie at times.  I love it, but it
frightens some away, as they can't seem to look into my
eyes for a long period of time.  I on the other hand have
that wolf look when I am talking with or looking at
someone.  People use to tell me I had cat eyes, but
that's not it at all.  It's the wolf gaze that I posses.


This year in November I will turn 45 years wiser. Ummm
notice I didn't say older.... *LOL*  I will always have my
little child, my inner child, the little girl who hide away
many years ago to hide from all the guilt, pain, fear and
shame.  She no longer hides, but shines like a beckon.


I truly and sincerely hope with all my heart that somehow,
I touched someone's life and brought them some hope...
Yes my dear's who are out there still struggleing, there is
"Hope after Dope".
