1. Art Nouveau- it's waves and swirls comfort my soul
2. Paris's cheese shops- for awakening a sleeping passion
3. Flowers in black buckets in front of Vancouver corner stores- constant color no matter how gray the sky
4. flannel bedsheets
5. Feather duvets with feather pillows and small purring white cats- self explanatory, I think
6. Bergamont Rooiboos tea with honey and milk-how can this be wrong ever?
7. Hostels and boutique hotels- you give me hope.
8. Letterboxes- you are beautiful and seriously need to be reborn in 21st century architecture.
9. Wheat fields and prairie roses- what great tattoos are made of
10. The women in my life- my aunts, MY MOTHER, my sister, my grandmother, my friends Sonia and Bess- you remind me of my innate strength, the pull between being a girl and not so girly, and along side you, we are so beautiful.

11. No I don't think I'm 'missing anybody', but I suppose I could give thanks for my father but that's another post altogether.
