Getting to Know me Through Eldala

There are many things I included in Eldala that I love and I thought I would share those as a way to get to know me better.

This does have spoilers, so be warned. :)

~~ The seashore ~ It's one of my favorite places to visit and I wish I could go more often. There's something about the smell and the sounds and the view that inspire me.

~~ Seashells ~ I've collected them since my first visit to the shore when I was a girl and my parents and grandparents would drive to Morro Bay, CA for a classic car show. I can remember going into a shell shop and coming home with some beautiful shells I wouldn't have found otherwise. Some sit in a carved wooden basket in my living room. Others are in a glass cabinet. My two favorites are my nautilus shell that my husband and children got me for Christmas last year, and my abalone shell that I found at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show a few years ago.

~~ Flower Gardens ~ I would especially love to have a secret garden like Jessa's, and of course, it would have a fountain.

~~ Butterflies ~ I was almost jealous of Jessa when Kieran calls the butterflies, just before he proposes.

~~ Cardinals ~ They're among my favorite birds.

~~ Forests ~ Though I prefer pine forests because of their lovely smell, I like any forest.

~~ Dancing ~ Even though I don't dance, I love to watch it.

~~ Music ~ The song that Kieran and Jessara dance to is an actual song I found on iTunes, called "Songs From a Scottish Childhood" by Maggie Sansone.

~~ Roses ~ They're my very favorite flowers, followed closely by orange blossoms.

~~ Hummingbirds ~ Jessa just briefly mentions them, but they're another of my favorite birds.

~~ Romance 

~~ A good sword fight ~ There are so many great ones from the movies... Ivanhoe, The Count of Monte Cristo, Dragonheart...

~~ Tattoos ~ Not a like so much as a fascination and admiration.

~~ Weddings

~~ Fierce loyalty

~~ Heart connections 

~~ Happy Endings ~ I don't write tragedies.

~~ Redemption and Freedom
