I spend most of my time dreaming about traveling and being somewhere else or reading, studying, stiching, cooking. I'm so grateful and fortunate to have found my wonderful man, Carlos. He's grounded me and I think made me a better person. I've spent 15 years out of this country and 16 years in, and still I don't feel like I totally belong. I spend my days working for a mad genius, a botanist, while I learn about the horrors of the flavor and fragrance industry, the beauty of smell in nature, the particular aroma differences in every rose, pieces of sandalwood, cedar, whathaveyou in the world, while we work to one day create a natural perfumer's organ to create the perfect scent that will cure mankind or maybe allow people to open their eyes and noses and minds.My favorite thing is the Farmer's Market. Hopefully it promotes farm land rather than urban sprawl and it's local and organic. yum.I read everything I can on Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy, I just inherited a huge collection of aromatherapy books to add to the many I already have. Thank you Aaron. Plus carlos won't go to the doctor. So I'm always practicing and coming up with recipes based on Kurt Schnaubelt's books. I make my own lotions and potions and tattoo salve and I'm learning to stich and knit..... xxxxoooo
