I now choose more of this in my life

My own ongoing, constantly updated MORE OF THIS, LIST.

More of this, please.

• More peace, more gentleness, more kindness, please.
• More opening to love, more integrity, more attunement to the things, people and experiences that make me quake with joy. Remind me that this quaking does not make me silly or childish or not enough. Remind me that this quaking is resonance - it's love. The quaking is just my body's way of adjusting to a new frequency; a sweet and pure and holy  vibration that is calling me to expand a little further, to reach -if I can summon the courage, and get past the quaking -  toward a new space in myself (and in the world.)
• And then, I would like:
• planning - this is the year for that. for planning and mapping the empire.
• The Empire. I am ready to inhabit The Empire now. :)
• A silk kimono - Stat.
• Crystals - i am wanting more crystals right now. big ones
• White space. Interior and ex.
• An easel.
• Watercolor.
• A great camera.
• A new dishwasher. And some paid help with the housework.
• Aquamarine - the jewel and the color, the way it looks in sunlight, like an ocean somehow captured in a piece of glass or silk or somehow, paint
• 20 yards of silk velvet to re-upholster the sofa that I found in a jumble spilling out of the door of the church bazaar. The color? Rose, shimmering between dark and light, as only silk velvet can do - dusted with moonlight, please.
• Make that 40 yards - let's do up some drapes.
• Funky wooden storage chests. Little drawers.
• Long hair thing - a - ma - bobs
• Books
  Films; documentaries that expand and illuminate and old-fashioned romantic comedies where pretty people fall, together, into huge feather beds surrounded by sheer white curtains that blow in and out the window, inhaled and exhaled by the wind.
• And I would like that scene in the film to come and find me here.
• And this year, I will got to Paris and sit in a cafe sipping tea and writing in a quadrille-ruled cahier - like I used to. More of that, again, please.

More of this, please:

• for my parents, less suffering, more moments of wonder.
• for my children, this continued unfolding. what beautiful, passionate, loving beings you are
• for my husband, peace, opening to love, and the luxury of time to simply make art.
• for my sisters, true love - and peace in that love.

And more for me!!!!

• more color
• more culture
• more dancing
• more vibrancy, clarity, certainty
• more poetry and the time and dream mind space to write it (and read it)
• A great book editor (immediately!)
• A published and best-selling book (yes!)
• An international workshop tour - YAY!
• A Ph.D.
• And more tea. :)

Finally, I choose more of this feeling I've been having lately: that I am at home in the world, surrounded by support; guided constantly toward joy, and now and then, completely filled with peace.
