33 Random Things about me

• I hum or sing when I'm embarrassed. I'm doing a bit of both right now :)
• I didn't talk until I was 3 years old.
• After contemplating this list for some time, I realise that I am not actually very interesting after all :)
• I don't mind getting older, I feel like I fit being old better than being young. Wrinkles don't scare me.
• I dislike modern architecture, design, fashion and lots of other moderny things, I find them harsh looking, and full of too many straight lines, bling and primary colours.
• I like old, broken things that have a story.
• I often dream of being Amish, bonnet, buggie and all!
• When I was little I wanted to be four things when I grew up, a nurse, a ballerina, an artist and a nun, ha!
• I am a super messy (eat with my fingers) eater. I have to be careful what I order in restaurants :)
• I can't stand feeling like I've hurt someone, it gives me a deep ache.
• I only started coming out of my shell in my mid twenties.
• I feel stronger now and softer too. Life is made of strange paradoxes.
• I know nothing about motherhood even though I have five children :) I only follow my heart and try my best with what I've got and hope it will be enough. Often I'm sure it's not. 
• My children are my dear friends and my great teachers.
• Although, in principle,  I love the romance of the gypsy life, I've come to accept that I'm actually a homebody. I like to put down deep roots and feel a connection to the place in which I live.
• I find God in sunlight, sky, earth and birdsong more than books or buildings.
• I love to simply sit, preferably, in a sunny spot and just let my imagination wander far, wide and free.
• If I'm listening to music I don't like to talk. I just like to listen.
• I think that we are all here for a purpose. 
• I think the lesson of my life is to learn how to love properly.
• I need to see trees outside my window.
• I can't live without dark chocolate.
• I can't sing but I love to sing anyway
• When I grow up I want to be the crazy lady who lives in a log cabin in the woods, keeps nine cats and makes pots.
• I am a dreamer :)
• Going into town makes me anxious, as do supermarkets, bright lights and crowds.
• When I was younger I used to be super sensitive, my skin felt on edge all the time. It still does sometimes.
• I don't like judgmental attitudes or gossiping.  To always assume the best of others bestows dignity, on them and on ourselves.
• I believe, everyone deserves to be loved and accepted for who they are.
• I can be way too serious when I should lighten up and way to silly and irreverent when I should just sit still and take note.
• My favourite flowers are daffodils.
• I love empire line or ankle length medieval dresses and would happily wear them everyday. 
•  In all my life, I have never, and probably will never iron anything.
