I call my Self Rasheedah Sabreen. I am known to many as MoonCat.
I was born and raised in Philadelphia PA where I was schooled for 13 years by the Brides of Christ. I was as strange to the land then as I am now. My given name means odd, strange, alien to the land. Knowing the meaning of my name and thereby identifying my energy allowed me the freedom to be, to paraphrase Mr. Wizard, "just what I is, not what I is not."
I came to California on a Greyhound bus at the age of twenty-one. I wanted to go back to Philly after two weeks but my boyfriend,also from Philly, convinced me to stay. He is gone. I am not.
Domestic Life; Mother to daughter, Kwanzaa, 24 years old,married, attending nursing school. Grandmother to Jaeda Elaine, 21/2, attending pre-school next week \0/, mother in-law to Mr. Jackson, a great son in-law. Mother to Issa, 16 years old, the usual teenager with angst and a fantastic jazz drummer. Friend of my cat, Misty Rainbow, a better familiar could not be asked for by one such as my Self.
Bread and Butter: Special Education Instructional Assistant in a public elementary school. I have served children for over twenty years in three school districts and three alternative education centers and my own in-home school now defunct.
Soul Food:Singing, playing my guitar, writing,dancing anywhere I happen to be standing(no shame to my game), reading/studying, meeting people, living a magical life. I am more than happy to have been guided to this wonderful network.
