Books:
Some would say I'm a packrat, but I prefer book collector. I buy a book, read half and have bought another before I've finished the other. The largest sections of my library include pagan/wiccan/witchcraft selections, metaphysics/spirituality/world religion, self-help/creativity workbooks, and books dedicated to fine arts and traditional crafts. Not much fiction on my shelves with the exception of erotica, fantasy/sci-fi, feminist writings, and the classics.
Heroes:
Cheesy to say, but seriously, my mother. My mother is among the crème de la crème of mothers. While working as a public school teacher, her creative use of a shoestring budget provided me with the things I both needed and wanted as a child. For example in 2nd grade, my school organized an international fair where each class presented information about foreign countries complete with costuming and cuisine; my class was assigned Japan. A store-bought costume was out of the question, so I was at a loss for costume options. My creative, resourceful mother pulled down our kitchen curtains made of peach colored taffeta and brought out the sewing machine. The next day, I arrived in class donning an elegant kimono of her fashioning, the only kimono costume among my classmates. I felt as special as a geisha. I learned an important lesson from her. All the things I need and want are within my grasp. Just be creative and work with what you have; sometimes, you will find you have more than enough.
