Hobbies
My hobbies include Music, Yoga, Gardening, Meditation, Movies and cooking. I enjoy the San Diego sunshine and like to take a walk in the park and bask in the sun. I also am a member of a community garden where I grow a lot of seasonal vegetables and flowering plants. This gives me the time to relax and feel so grateful to Mother Nature for the abundant gifts that she presents us. I also volunteer at the local temples to sing individually or as a group for music festivals and other celebrations.
