I'm it.

The beautiful Bekah tagged me to answer some questions she wrote.  And then I get to tag some of my friends to answer mine. Come on... it's fun!


1. What are you grateful for? 
Grateful every single day for the people who love me.  My family and a handful of truly amazing, beautiful, loving friends.

2. Could you honestly say that you are happy?
I am the happiest I can remember being. It feels so good.

3.What motivates you?
I'm motivated by the sensation of creation.  When I make something new, it's a new thing out in the world that didn't exist before.  I live for that feeling.

4.What do you value most in a relationship?
 I think each person in the relationship should believe that they are spending their days with the absolute coolest person on the planet.

5. How have you grown over this past year? 
Long story short, I believe I am 100 x's stronger and 100 x's softer all at once.  Does that make sense?

6. What gift would you love to give to a loved one?
 Self-love

7. Best date night.
 A lifetime of date nights
8. Current etsy love? 
A local jewelry artist has an etsy shop and she just filled it up with goodies.  She's absolutely amazing.  I only have a few pieces of hers but I find all of my other jewelry collecting dust.  Her etsy shop is Bahgsu Jewels.

9. Current blog love?
 My friend Rosie has recently said good bye to a long-term relationship and has totally found a new side of herself through it.  If you find yourself on my blog, you know that I can relate to that a little bit! Her blog, With Good Intention, is my favorite to read.

10. Book recommendation?
Succulent Wild Woman, Cunt, The Vegan Slow Cooker, Natural Healing Wisdom & Know-How, We'Moon 2012.

11. Favorite gift you are giving this year?
 I am absolutely PUMPED about my brother's gift.  He has an infatuation and a connection with his dog like none I have ever seen before, and my other brother and I got Chase and his pug Cassidee an appointment with a pet psychic.

I tag: Dena, Rosie, Angi, Mandy, and Ashley. And honestly, anyone else who'd like to answer these questions. I am honestly curious. Even if you just want to answer them in a comment,  I'd love to read.

  2. 1. What's the most important thing you learned from your mother?
    Selfless love. Truly caring for those outside your family and expecting nothing in return.
    She fostered a child for 18 years and invited a bunch of neighbours to Christmas lunch so they wouldn't be alone. She's not a religious person but she did this out of kindness.

    It started to be all about crafty stuff but it's evolved so much because I'm very isolated in a small town and needed a way to connect with the rest of the world.

    'Big, Blonde and Beautiful' from the Hairspray soundtrack.

    The beach or I lock myself in the craft room.
