Celebration is of the utmost importance! Let's eat delicious food, walk up some mountains, make each day lovely, and laugh whenever possible. Also, sometimes "celebration" includes going to bed early like an old lady. Currently I live in a sweet little town on the Western Slope of Colorado, some kind of paradise where the mountains meet the desert, the farms and food swirl around art and music, and also where ranchers and coal miners and hunters and nature lovers and hippies and cats and dogs hang out in a very fascinating juxtaposition. I am an illustrator and ceramicist, and work for a non-profit helping to get local, fresh produce from farms to food banks through "gleaning".
