About Me



~"The privledge of a lifetime is being who YOU are"~~~~~~My name is Alaina Rose, although people tend to call me "Rose" and "Rosie." I'm happy when I'm dancing. I'm drawn to the "wonders" and the "what-if's". I like silly nonsense. One of my favorite feelings in the world is the one I get when I make my lover laugh...it makes my heart dance. I'm sensitive. I'm passionate. I've been told I have a nurturing nature. I believe in magic. My mom was a faerie. (Does that make me 50% faerie?) I love plants and *HERBS*...for medicinal, spiritual, and culinary purposes. I wear striped knee socks every day except when it's hot. I like it when people wink. I like whiskey. I blush a lot. And if you play harmonica my dog will sing.~~~~~~




~This place where you are right now
God circled on a map for you
Wherever your eyes and arms and heart can move against the earth and sky
The Beloved has bowed there---
Our Beloved has bowed there knowing you were coming~
-Hafiz~"We are here to realize our divinity and manifest our innate enlightenment."~
~Whatever you are doing is the most beautiful thing!~
YOU are a blessing in the universe~~~Dare to let yourself SHINE!
May you be happy. May you be at peace. May you open your heart to the light of your own true nature. May you be healed. And may you be a source of healing for others.
