- More About Me and My World
- I have been a Costume Designer in the Hartford, CT area for over 35 years. It began when I was in High School. I was asked to star in "Funny Girl" because the director thought I looked liked Barbara Streisand, and my reaction was, "I can't sing, but I will do all the costumes"..So began my career as a costume designer!
I am divorced, have three grown children, and a proud grandmother of two greyhounds, and a chocolate lab (rescue dog from New Orleans).
I teach Costume Design and Costume History at the college level, and travel extensively when I am on summer break.
I write poetry, short stories, and novels in my spare time.
I am currently working on a Mystical Murder Mystery, entitled "Josephine".
Also, a collaborative passion poetry book with a very special friend, and another poetry book entitled "Meet Me Under The Willow Tree" This one deals with the issues of child abuse, but written in a very sensitive manner, so that children can relate to it.
I often find myself at the beach, during any season, getting inspiration, and wellness from the ocean.
I wish all much Peace, Love, and Light,
Vivianna (Amber "V" Moonstone)

"Where The Wind Bathes My Soul"
"Where The Wind Bathes My Soul"
by Amber "Vivianna" Moonstone

Have you ever had a wind bath?
It is the most invigorating experience.
You must be open to its immense power.
During the summer months,
When you are at the shore,
and that wind is blowing across the ocean,
just stand in its path,
let the wind transform you to new heights
of awareness, sensitivity and pleasure.
The warm salty wind,
will arouse your inner most senses,
it will seep into your nose, your throat,
then into your… Continue

"Nature's Transformation Of Body and Soul"
Nature is my playground... I wrote this a few months ago, but so applicable to spring!
"Nature's Transformation of Body and Soul"
by Amber "V" Moonstone 1/18/08
Natural surroundings
Nature at it's best
bountiful offerings
always life changing.
Listening to the rustling wind,
The lull of the ocean waves,
the lushness of the summer rain,
the chant of God's creatures
All of nature's sounds
smells, and visuals
join together to form
the focus for renewal.
Looking at the morning mist
risi… Continue

Wisdom Of Your Heart
"Love doesn't need reason. It speaks from the irrational wisdom of the heart."
- Deepak Chopra--(One of my favorite motivational writers)
"Wisdom Of Your Heart"
by Amber "Vivianna" Moonstone February 27, 2008
Wisdom comes from
living your truth,
trusting in yourself while
listening to your heart.
Knowing that your higher power
will guide your heart
with love and
nurturing light.
Sometimes your heart's wisdom
may seem irrational,
but in reality,
it knows what you desire.… Continue

The Midnight Hour
by Amber "Vivianna" Moonstone
02/20/08
It is the hour of awakening,
Midnight under the full moon,
spilling exotic beams
of brilliant light.
Tender is the sound
of your voice,
as gentle as a summer's breeze
and fluid as the running brook.
When daffodils bloom
and tulips converge
spring will be time
for new awakenings!
Rebirth and rejuvenation
shall be rendering light
upon a new and willing canvas
toward one amazing flight.
Midnight in the garden… Continue

I'm glad you posted, (I was afraid you didn't like me anymore) I'm sorry I haven't kept up with the tracking from AD and your work. I just need time to clean out my email. I'll interact with you here and read your page. I love the violet text!
So you have a new spiritual name. I like it, what does it mean? And what language is that?
I surely hope you'll continue to follow my music, I believe your the type of artist/person that benefits the most from my kind of musical sound!
Love and blessings... michael
