Following your bliss is not self-indulgent, but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world the very best that you have to offer. There IS a track just waiting for each of us and once on it, doors will open that were not open before and would not open for anyone else. - Joseph Campell

gift exchange

Last night I got together with my friend Vanessa.  We had a fabulous dinner at the place across the street from my house.  It included my favourite truffle fries, pork sliders, artichoke pesto pizza (she had a margarita pizza), apple crisp desert and the yummiest margarita (she had a Chardonnay).  It was all SO good.

We did really good with our gifts this year.  She bought me a beautiful wine bottle opener. Didn't know one could be so beautiful.  I got her a delicious candle from Anthropologie.

I cannot begin to tell you how yummy this candle is.  They had one lit in the store, and I couldn't separate myself from the table it was sitting on.  I think I am going to have to get one for myself.


Vanessa had come over to my house a while back, and I had made a point to have the wine she likes.  Alas, I did not have a wine bottle opener. Bad host!!  I eventually found the sad blue plastic contraption I had to open wine bottle with, but it is going back into the black hole of a drawer it had disappeared into to.  This is a beautiful opener. I am seriously going to a) drink more wine just to use it b) find a place to display it on the counter.  It is so shiny.  I love it!!
