Is it enough to just wonder why?

About Me

My life has been about finding balance. I am a scientist and also spiritual. I love the outdoors and urban pursuits. Both rationality and intuition appeal to me. I love being with people and spending time alone. I am loyal and independent. I would die for some people or tell them what for. Both light and dark have their place. I love materiality and try to find my spiritual path. Chaos and order, art and science, young and old, messy and orderly, hot and cold, creator and destroyer of worlds (well, maybe...). All of these are a part of my life. Get used to it (or not). MyGen Profile Generator

Whatever presents itself, anytime, anywhere. More specifically, philosophy, alternative anything (medicine, community, economics, spirituality, living, arts, healing, schools...), physics, gardening, cooking, crafts, watercolor painting, beading, hiking, kite flying, playing and singing and writing music, dancing, sewing, children, picture framing, writing, animals, family (that f word), rug making, semi-precious stones, jewelry making, design, making rustic furniture, fixing stuff, painting anything holding still, keeping friends and making new ones.

The Dalai Lama, people with their own way of looking at things, friendly animals, my sons' future wives, my past and my future. The Men Who Control the Weather...oh, wait, I already met them. Someone to teach me the harp.

getting what I want

I can usually get what I want.  Not in a nasty way mind you.  For instance, before my husband and I were married, I wanted a house.  We didn't have money for a house, but I knew it woul...

I’m becoming conventional

New can be scary

So, I have a job now that doesn't pay well with no benefits and I have to work many weekends.  I want to find a new job, but it's not that easy.  I have gaps in my resume since I worked ...

Just another color

Okay, how did it get to be so popular to be mud-colored?  So many things I look at are some mix of brown and grey.  Ohhhh, yuck!  Minivans and houses that are dreary and without variati...
