Wild Woman

Being squelched for loving beauty is possibly the worst thing you can do to a woman. It is not possible for her to have a full life if that is done to her, at her, for her.

Responsibility

“Those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.”

Perspective

“You need to stop your worrying and start believing in yourself.”

To Live

To live you have to experiment, to have the ability to experiment you have to have confidence, to have confidence you have to be loved, to be loved you have to love.

Nicholas Cage

Passion

Passion is very important to me. If you stop enjoying things, you've got to look at it, because it can lead to all kinds of depressing scenarios.

Aromatic Indoor Gardens

June 26  
"Gardening really has no beginning and no end.  In particular, pleasures of the sense of smell really know no seasons,"  Tovah Martin encourages us. "Bottled under glass, blooming at your elbow, the indoor garden has an immediacy that gardens outside cannot match. The aromas impart an intensity that will not be ignored....Deliciously distilled, delectably varied - that is the essence of paradise."
