If I lived here..

If I live here, eclectic would be my word.  I'd wear all kinds of hats, literally and figuratively.  I'd be an artist, traveler, dancer, writer, musician, and teacher. A jack of all trades and inspired by everything, my life would be full of dreams and ambition.  My art of choice is mixed media, and I'd have a fabulous studio out in the back yard.  The items I pick up from globe trotting are used frequently in my projects, and my travels and crafts are what inspire my monthly online magazine that I publish.  At night I am in a band as well as a modern dance company, and I occassionally teach classes on painting and ballet.  Always looking for the next project and adventure, I am dragging around my writer boyfriend all across the world.  Thankfully he writes short stories and can work anywhere, so we travel at the drop of one of my many sun hats.  We especially frequent South America where he is from and where I draw a lot of my inspiration.  Always ready for life to take us far away, we've got our vintage LV bags packed to the brim and our minds open to wherever life might lead us next. Bring it on.

If I lived here...

If I have moved here, I have run away with my mountain man into the forest to escape society for a while.  When I agreed to abandon the world, that didn't include giving up my love of fashion (or the internet).  Bringing all my best duds with me, my man is in for some fancy picnics, tea time, and porch swinging.  Thankfully I was born into royalty, so the inheritance will fund these wild fancies whilst living in the middle of nowhere, cuddling and playing house with my bf.  We will spend the day working in our garden, hiking near by trails, swimming in the closest watering holes, fishing in the river, and making our very own fine wines and beer.  By night time, we will put on some music, build up a bonfire, toast some s'mores, dance under the stars, and cheers to our blessings.  Rainy nights are spent inside with candle light, a good book, homemade stew, and snuggles. Who knows how long this love could keep us hidden from it all, but it sure sounds so sweet.
