I just returned from the holiday in Florida and I'm kicking into high gear for holiday jewelry production. I may be posting more images than words in the coming weeks. For now I will let you do the talking. A little game below... Apply these questions to anything troubling you and see what emerges... Posted on November 30, 2005 05:27 PMComments

You are such an inspiring and beautiful writer. Posted by: jaime at December 2, 2005 08:33 PMThanks for the Sark...very timely for me. I need to apply those questions to a couple of situations in my life. Posted by: frida at December 2, 2005 06:51 AMMoving to BC.
Great question and thanks for inspiring me to get my butt into high gear and get holiday gifts made! As for the question, I think for me at the moment it's turning off the evil television and making some art. Thanks! Posted by: kyra at December 1, 2005 06:53 AMAs I'm making my list of goals for 2006, this is a great question to think about. Thanks! Posted by: Heather at December 1, 2005 05:54 AMSerendipity someone else I know mentioned making live choices.... I'm still pondering it! Posted by: m at December 1, 2005 01:27 AMGreat pic! Andrea, Brought a smile to my face yet another time. My most alive choice is 'just being me'. Missed your posts during the brief break( yes, of course, I am greedy and that is 'being me' too) Thank you again! i'm contemplating that one. it's quite zen if you think about it, i mean to be zen is to be in the moment, to be in the moment is to be alive or not, but when are we really alive in a moment? is it a spark we feel or a tingle? a huge great smile because no matter what we are content, or maybe that warm fuzzy that tells us we are here right now and no where else. I haven't had those feelings for a while, I'm too distant because I am never "here". Got a lot of stuff going on, would like to just let go and be alive and in the moment. this is something great to think about, kind of like a fortune cookie but missing lotto numbers or cool words translated into chinese... ciao ciao PS hope you had a great time in FL, that's where I live and we had great weather for Thanksgiving!! Posted by: jus at November 30, 2005 07:09 PMWOW WOW WOW!!! Is this photo for real? Brilliant!!! :) Posted by: G-Man at November 30, 2005 06:52 PMI agree with Karen. On another note... You sound a bit swamped and exhausted in your last few posts.... so I hope you take some you time and refresh and recharge - the holidays can be draining instead of filling if we are not careful. But back to me agreeing with Karen - I love and look foward to your gift guides every year. I was just thinking about them recently. And Mondo Beyondo comes at this time of year too in Andrea world.... if i'm remembering right.... i must be a real spaz, because i don't understand the question... sorry... *blush* Posted by: chlamygirl at November 30, 2005 06:02 PMWow!! What a fabulous question to ponder! Sometimes for me, the most alive choice is just showing up and being present in my life that day... I will be mulling this one over a bit more, as I am contemplating making some major life changes in the coming new year. Thanks for jump starting my thought process today! :) Posted by: Julia at November 30, 2005 04:39 PMAwesome photograph. thank you for posting those questions, andrea. really. Posted by: jo anne at November 30, 2005 03:05 PMhuhm. This is a brilliant question (what is the most alive choice) and one I probably need to consider as I contemplate major change in my life. Thanks for this post...Andrea, I'm going to blogroll you at my site, ok? Sweet questions. Posted by: Ali at November 30, 2005 11:52 AMamazing pic! Posted by: la vie en rose at November 30, 2005 11:02 AMFabulous... as usual! Just what I needed to have this morning. I notice I don't always choose the most alive choice. Even that is helping me to choose differently. hmmm... alive choices and easy... yes! Thank you! -m Posted by: mikaelah at November 30, 2005 10:44 AMperfect! Posted by: mati at November 30, 2005 09:47 AMCompletely random question, Andrea, but are you going to post another of your wonderful "gift guides" this year? You always find the most unique gift ideas and I look forward to it every year! Posted by: Karen at November 30, 2005 09:07 AMMy most alive choice was to care for my mother as she died. I know that it sounds sad and tragic, but really, helping her go through the process of dying and gicing her the love and nurturing that she had always given to me was the most honoring, spiritual, important, ALIVE thing I've ever done. There really was no choice, I just knew it was what I wanted and needed to do. It was an opportunity to be the best of who I am and to give of myself in a way I never have before. It wasn't EASY to do, but it was easy to CHOOSE to do it. Easy to choose every day to care for her with love and kindness. And for me it was the time in my life when I was most MYSELF - most alive, most grounded, most present, and amidst my sadness the most happy and at peace. love.
