Things I like: cultivating life force
enchanting people
speaking my mind
pushing my limits
playing dress up
love and gratitude
being fearless
grandpa feeley's chocolate chip cookies
secret letters
watching bees
bordeaux wine
the smell of turned dirt
my sweet plot of earth for gardening
delivering my garden veggies to neighbors
long dinners in restaurants
dancing at sunrise
kissing
eurythmy
sweaty yoga
ponds
sheets with high thread count
rain - pour pour pour forever
all things water (what could be better than a wet world?)
quiet baths
loose teas and herbs
speaking Korean and sipping soju
brewing sudsy soap in my kitchen and bath tub
Waldorf World
meditation
doing things that require courage
personal expansion
drinking bass nectar
the simple deep

And, oh yes my darling visitor ... did I mention making magic with my company of lights?

An extraordinary collection of freaky sick twisted inspirational sensual bizarre and highly wacky souls!
