Mid 80's - Polo, and hockey hair
Late 80's - Men's obsession and that chevy hatchback smell
Early 90's - 2nd hand bookstores, wet wool, and good soap and good coffee
Entire New millennium - woodsmoke and butter
yum
Now...I'm off to sniff and smell some more.
Wonderful.

Have you considered the other senses? I would by the book
Love and joy to you
I almost wish I hadn't. Being from NZ your name was not on my radar as an anything........ other than storyteller.
How very Holy and Courageous to write the way you do as a Christian. It is like a breath of fresh air. Most of the worthwhile reading I have done that has grown my faith has been just off the edge of the radar. It grows good strong "Faith Muscles" to have ones beliefs challenged and exercised. I am going to buy copies of your plays just for the sheer pleasure of reading them.
Maybe I will see them on stage one day.
In the 1960s when professional theatre was in its infancy in NZ I used to wander into the city in bare feet, jeans and a duffel coat (teenage angst and a good antidote to a student nurses uniform 6 days a week for 3 years) to go to plays at one of NZs first professional theatres.
Thank you for the validating things you had to say about being a Christian and an artist. I find the more personal and honest I get about where I'm at - the more people from all walks of life grab onto the work and say, "oh my goodness, that's just like me, I've wondered that too - I thought I was the only one who thought that - I wrestle with that too - I love that too" Ironically, the more personal I get, the more universal it is. So I am thinking it's worth the risk - exposing myself as a bit of a "clown for Christ" as Peter Barnes would say (Red Noses - great play about faith). Doing the best I can. I feel very honored to write...God is so good. God is good to reveal Grace to a goof like me who's trying to figure it out one step at a time.
Are you still a nurse? Do you still attend the theatre?
Thank you again and bless you.
Sincerely, Lucia
PS yeah, my pic in SS is so awful, haha! I agree, I shall never wear my hair like that again. Especially not now that I have my style statement!
I hate how much of that powerful stuff is caked over with synthetic sprays and crap.
We are all like wine, aren't we?
God made man (and lets be honest he did a pretty smoking hot job in every way). He paused and then looked at the other members of the Trinity
The thought was there and the words were spoken " I believe we can do better .......and that when he made women" Who can blame men for ogling.
He saved the best until last!!!!!!!!!!
hands down, is the man I married. As it should be.
He still works in a shop, and he still walks in the door smelling like gasoline and I still love it. Only now it's okay to jump on him... :)
(His after-shower and/or day-off smell is gasoline-free; it's like fresh-cut wood and your favorite soft blanket. Mmmmmmm. I wish he would get home already...)
My girlfriend and I both recognize the power of scent in human interaction. Neither of us wear deodorant—we shower to stay clean and remove negative smells (e.g. flop-sweat, skunks, second-hand smoke), not to remove our natural scents.
What I've come to realize is that natural scents bother me much less than what I call "industrial" scents. I can't stand most perfumes, colognes, deodorants, plastics, and sprays.
I think scent is one of the most under-appreciated senses. Everyone *knows*, at some level, that it's important. But it's not explicitly part of the culture.
I love her with no deodorant on so that I can suck her armpits! And her sweatty feet, OH MY GOD, yes i love them in my face and in my mouth!
Delicious!
