I bet there are a lot of us tea drinking, weed loving, long skirted hippie
chicks around on these unschooling lists. At fifty, I still have long hair and
often walk the dogs barefoot through my urban neighborhood. I've got crystals
hanging in my sunnyside windows, a collection of windchimes swaying from the
eaves, and a riotous bunch of herbs, berries, and salad greens tumbling over
one another in the garden by the kitchen door. I even live at the foot of the
canyon that Joni Mitchell sang about in the song "Ladies of the Canyon" back in
the day. I'm told that Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, and others spent a few
nights here, back in the seventies.
Deeply entrenched, and proud of my hippiedom.

Ahhhhh, I'd better go put the timer on the oven, so the bread and granola
will be ready in the morning.

Peace,

Michelle,

hehehe... that made me laugh... because I am so that hippy chick with the
weedy front yard with the skirt and the tea.... hehehe.... and it's so nice
that I've actually started to accept myself and love myself for being who I
am and no longer feeling ashamed that I'm not living up to some arbitrary
standard that my family or the world has put on me.
