ALL of my wonderful friends, travel, my family in Holland (and here...sorry, Jenn!!), life and living in my own little world, reading, (green)politics, buddhism, the healing arts, yoga (including but not limited to Jivamukti, Kundalini, Bhakti, Japa, Hot, Karma), destroying the kleshas, veganism, animal rights, human rights, true freedom (not a dumbass american flag sticker on the back of your Hummer-assholes), riding my bike to work as often as possible, dreams, the angelic, vegan dog who owned me for 9 years, anarchy, learning, observing, saying "don't hate" more than someone my age should, sarcasm, kirtan, laughing my ass off, raw food, Kombucha/Synergy, spirulina smoothies, being a walking contradiction, people who use proper grammar and correct spelling (call me a snob), painting, never procreating, connecting in ways that don't involve electronics, intuition, dancing, sewing, ebay, thrifting, tattoos, meditation, feminism, remaining fiercely independent, live music, personal style that is not simply copied from your favorite rockstar or group of friends, entheogens, volunteerism and above all things...LOVE...I also like butterflies, rainbows, flowers and the color pink...deal with it. GO VEGAN!! GO RAW!!
People who make an effort.
I get the party started...
"It is a gift to be able to paint a particular picture or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look. To affect the quality of the day - that is the highest of the arts."
Henry David Thoreau
