Ramblings, ideas and memoirs of a joyous adventurer. Absinthe aficionado. Empathetic thinker-feeler. Verbose writer. Avidly authentic. Hydrangea fanatic. Snow leopard lover. Joy huntress. Promising my devotees a honest glimpse into my life as I live with freedom, power and full self-expression in an unfiltered and sometimes distilled way. CHEERS!
“Interesting film and also very odd. The main character Charlie Bubbles is disconnected from his incongruence in his life. He is also alienated from his children, which hits home for me. Not wanting to see again, but an interesting view of family life during the 60s.”
Driving home from work, I spotted an Eagle flying over Mercer Island and being tormented by a crow heading eastbound. I am so blessed and in the “FLOW”.🦅
“Smells are surer than sounds and sights to make heartstrings crack.”
Rudyard Kipling (English Journalist and Novelist; December 30th, 1865 to January 18th, 1936)
“Our sense of smell is our primordial link to our brains. When we inhale a scent, neurotransmitters in our brains trigger the production of biochemical secretions that affect our moods, feelings, and emotions. When an aromatic essential oil permeates our skin through the bath or a massage, the oil penetrates the epidermis, stimulates our sophisticated lymph duct system, and enters the bloodstream, eventually delivering well-being to our frazzled minds.”
“…smell is a potent wizard that transports us across thousands of miles and all the years we have lived.”
Helen Keller (American Author; June 27th, 1880 to June 1st, 1968)
“Smell has always been a huge part of my experience of the world. Lately I have been playing with scent in a new way against the natural pheromones between my husband and myself…DELISCIOUS! One of the ways I knew Neil was my man, is that he always smells like snickerdoodle cookies to me. One of my favorite cookies!🏆“
