Mystery of Writing

Tagged again! I’m running out of random facts, so I’ve decided to take inspiration from the ones who tag me, and put my own twist on this meme.

Leola expresses family love, true friendship, and reverence for nature on her beautiful blog. Her paintings are exquisite, often glowing against a dark background. Haunting aurorae; delicate flowers; powerful lightning; enchanted characters. Leola’s creations are most often tiny—she is an accomplished miniaturist. To see such beauty in so small a thing teaches me to appreciate the details in life.

Love of others; love of creation. What are six beautiful things that I am thankful for in life?

1: Loyalty — in family, friends, or pets. They love me when I’m least lovable, because they believe I can do better.

2: Faithfulness. Those who simply believe in God, goodness, and possibilities.

3: Miracles. Birth, rebirth—whether as a sunrise or a human life.

4: Plants. The vitality of growing things.

5: Sky — and everything in it and beyond it. Hardly gets more awesome than that.

6: Love.

And you? What are six details you appreciate in your life?

I’ve been tagged again! And this time by my good friend Tessa, who is a phenomenal artist and wonderful writer. Her work evokes a feeling of magic and possibilities. Through words and a paintbrush, Tessa encourages the world to LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, laughing and dancing along the way. I invite you to visit her blog, An Aerial Armadillo.

The nature of the meme is to find seven more random facts about me. Trouble is, I have a tendency to think that I ran out of interesting facts five memes ago. But that’s surely not true—if I’ve learned anything from Tessa, it’s that there is an endless supply of magic in Life.

And so I was inspired to tweak this meme a little bit. In honor of Tessa’s example to embrace life, I will share seven fun, quirky, or unusual facts about me!

Here goes:

1: I used to be pretty good at twirling a baton.

2: “Vesti La Giubba” makes me cry. Every time.

3: I can read a little bit of Welsh.

4: I love to organize things. I tend to let my desk get messy just so I can organize it.

5: I like cocoa made with water instead of milk.

6: The dictionary is one of my favorite things to read. (I should add that to my Goodreads.com bookshelf…)

7: Topaz is my birthstone, but blue is my favorite color. So I wear blue topaz.

And there we have it! And now, I tag….

YOU! What’s fun, quirky, or unusual about you? Leave a few facts in the comments here, or link to your blog if you do the whole 7!
