"WIne is like People" =)

I really do believe wine is like people...I believe my character is pretty well rounded...I have lived in several countries,traveled a lot of the world, and lived extended time in places like Europe & Asia, as well I have seen many important things to true completion like the complete redesign & renovation of my 8000 sqft Greek Revival property, all adhering to true authenticity of the time, while updating it to be lovely, elegant, and yet still understated and welcoming :)

Also, I attach to what is true in life..I rather be weeks in Europe, or Asia, Islands dipping into cafes, extended time at wellness spa, hikes, picnics in the grass, wine, romance, creating... than anything truly not soul fulfilling...or Islands, or somewhere else majestic, untampered intriguing...like Mongolia, or various towns in China and Japan..onsens..some culture, some food for the soul, some vibrancy of life :)...i really love & attach to what truly beckons my soul naturally and I know it is fulfilling, and aids in evolving and creating long term vivacious peace and happiness...Or at home, with rare books, books on art, design, painting, farms, rose gardens, berry farms......finding interesting things in nature to sketch, photograph....mellowing on pretty & on poetic rainy days...playing around with my own crepe maker..making recipes combining everything for jujube to black currants, to rice wine dishes, to european ones...a lot of happiness is truly in the calm savory yet creative lively moments :) calm rituals with tea...making cappuccino...vintage films...funny movies,..romantic ones...great music, wine,..some marijuana at times :)..slipping into town for cute boutiques, strolls, and atmospheric mellow dining...gathering fresh lavender, rosemary on my own property...that's how i truly like life :)...puppies,...and children one day...bunnies also great, and maybe some kittens ,..definitely horses..=)

Some people never truly reach to find out what their soul needs, as they stay to the same life and routines...there is a quiet desperation in this i think ... the brave ones that are adventurous venture into the world and truly grow and truly discover beauty, depth, life at its most sincere level...

Also, I have always studied, completing courses at Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Christie's Post bacc at Harvard and University of Oxford, & Design courses, beyond my Bachelors...as well as all my several workshops in fine art of painting and drawing...I lament i have not applied myself in languages, and really want to learn French, Japanese, Chinese, and also complete still a higher degree...which i have debated to be everything from Architectural History to East Asian Studies, to Comparative Literature...to even Neuroscience..we are not our true vibrant selves, unless we are committing to some passions, and always evolving,...it does not mean we should be saintly...as really nobody is...but it means creating a life you are truly loving of , truly devoted to, truly excited about, and really being vibrant and happy within your skin...:) and also combining it in a way where you can chill, relax, on the beach, on organic farms...but i think there must always be learning, creating, discovering, :) And also in one day raising children, they are so sensitive and are truly bettered immensely by a sensitive, loving, conscientious and also cultured, creative and worldly parent(s)
I keep truly wanting children, i have honestly for a couple years now..at times I even look at the adoption sites...Since being godsister-mother to Adel, I really miss having at least one little being around to dote and love...It's truly true, that when you commit to loving someone, other than yourself, life makes a lot more sense...without this we can become so lost in life...Loving is what truly matters :)
