I like yarn, writing, photography, nature, music, anything creative. Laughing, friends, watching the sunrise and the sunset and every cloud in-between. The beach, seawater, snorkeling with the fishies and the turtles, the breeze full of salt and iodine, the waves, gazing at the stand-up surfers.
In their own off-the-planet category, my kids - most extraordinary people. My husband too, and his 90% unflappable demeanor. Our skinny dog Maya, and our very fat cats. I also love horses, and almost forgot my lifelong passion for skiing and snow.
I’m also an Aquarian*, which I'm told means I’m aloof, unpredictable, eccentric, elitist, rude and tactless, distracted, obstinate, rebellious and a few other traits of that ilk. All true, but the fact that I share my birthday with Oprah Winfrey and Adam Lambert makes me feel it can’t be all that bad.
* All this goofball stuff about a new sign would make me a Capricorn, which is pretty impossible, although my childhood nickname was "La Tchivre" (patois Valaisan for "The Goat"), in deference to my mountain climbing agility and sureness of foot. Well, some things never change. I still like to push around the corner, see what's beyond the turn, breathe from the top of the peak and explore the hidden wonders far from the beaten path.
