I was tagged by Rampantheart to write a blog that lists 5 types of people I hate…
For many of you who know me, you won’t be surprised that initially I had no interest in responding, as hate is one of those emotions better left to the unaware angry folk.
My whole theory in life is to focus my energy on things I *want* rather than on the things I don’t want (hate/dislike/am annoyed by).
That said, I am going to take artistic authority and change the rules. I can do that. This is my blog and I MAKE the rules. *wink*
So, here are 5 things I LOOOOVE:
- Spring time rain… this is the greenest time of year, and I love drizzling, damp days. *giddy*
- Oatmeal and brown sugar for breakfast!
- My job. Really, I love where I work and what I do.
- Teachers who have faith in me.
- The smell of old books. Almost as much as I love the smell of bleach!
And here are 5 types of people I love:
- Listeners. People who are actually paying attention, expressing care and consideration when they respond appropriately. There are very few people who are excellent listeners, but I have surrounded myself with the best ones: Amber H, Amber L, Elizabeth, Brandy, Landon, Janna, Jay, Lori, and Heather May.
- The Motivated. It’s much easier for me to speak of my Big Dreams when I hear them talk about theirs. It doesn’t matter how huge, how time/energy-consuming it is, if you have big goals, I respect you. And not just having the goals, but actually moving towards them. I love that!
- Hippies. If you’re into love, peace, recycling, getting along, openness, long skirts, not brushing your hair, special brownies and acoustic music with drums, I think you’re pretty rad.
- The Aware. Whoa. I just had deja vu. I wonder what that means. Perhaps I am tuned in with someone else who was thinking the same thing at the same time. I love those people who are on the same connection as I am.
- Artists. My respect never ends for those who are able to Create… whether they are wordsmiths, painters, candle-makers, clay-throwers, experience creators, manifestors, graphic artists, poets, arts n crafters, film-writers, or garden growers, I’m a fan.
5 things I hope to accomplish this summer:
- Getting through the next six weeks with no major meltdowns.
- Building a fence and then Planting my garden.
- Teach Tyler to read & ride a bicycle.
- Write some killer research papers.
- Come up with a research plan.

Mmm, the smell of old books rocks my socks! My favourite guided imagery meditation, atm, is of a Universal Library - it holds every book that has ever been or will ever be written or planned.
And I just have to second Rampant Heart: you are a bright and generous soul.
