I had just started a year of exploration, that's for sure. My elimination diet had begun, and I essentially was living as a Vegan, which I thought would be extremely hard to do, considering where I live. I just turned 30 and so last year was devoted to trying 30 new things before I turned 30... What a wonderful, exhausting year!

But back to today, a year ago... I'd say I was eating allergen-free foods and hitting the gym!

the pink shag carpet sitting underneath my white canopy bed (i would read while my family would play cards in the kitchne); my family sitting at the ol' kitchen table playing cards surrounded by that horrible orange 70s/80s wallpaper; the TV in the kitchen; the ditch between yards that we would walk; the trees we would climb; the fenced german shepherd two doors down that scare the bejesus out of me.

from my other childhood home, the one i lived in longest after my first; the front room where nobody ever sat; the kitchen island where we would sit and laugh and cook; the backyard where i could spend hours playing by myself, wandering thru the forests or with my cat guiding me; the creek in the backyard; reading on the porch out front; running down the front yard hill; sledding in the big hill in the backyard....

Oh boy, what a loaded question. Definitely want to finish my masters and get my phd in holistic health... Interesting. As I sit here, wondering what else I'd like to finish, I think of little projects here and there (in the house, with my business) but what truly stands out is school. So I think this question is a wake-up call and telling me that I certainly need to spend much more time with school, starting today. I cannot wait any longer.

friends & family (family including all pets) & good weather!

Ridiculously so. However, when I do reach that line, and I do have a line, you better watch out because I have used ALL of my tolerance up. I.E., stuff I had been tolerant of prior to reaching the boiling point I will no longer tolerate until I calm down again. (I'm an Aquarian-Pisces but have Scorpio-rising!!!)

....trying new things, which may not necessarily be so great all the time, as i typically stretch myself too thin and have too much to do and therefore get NOTHING done! *laugh*

i am afraid of my earthly existence time running out.


on another note, i am addicted to sugar. =(

I believe that love is not always enough. I believe that the purest form of love is joy.

Hmmm, if you ask my family, I am sure they would say I've always had a mind of my own! I have a really poor memory, so I can't recall a specific incidence that it happened, but it seems like the shift from me being a little girl to being a thinking-for-herself human happened dramatically, suddenly and quickly...whenever it is that it occurred!!!

...that there is nothing we all can agree on! we are all much too complex to have the same black or white perceptions on any particular topic. anyone can argue anything and because of that, life is shades of grey. =)

a scarf I knit for my mom! so she could see what it looks like...
