I've been lucky in love *and* at winning stuff, , so lucky Libra

me! Alwyn, everyone who has entered, don't worry, I've put your replies

in a special folder, so it'll be easy to find for the drawing. Who

knows? There may be even more little scented goodies in the winning

jackpot, cause I'm feeling good! What a great New Year, the energy is

wonderful :-)

I don't post or reply much, I think this is my third post since

subscribing.

There's been something happening onlist for a little while now (of what

I've read anyway) that sets this list, and others like it apart.

Stepping back and not posting, I've not been involved in the

conversation directly, but have been " absorbing " it.

There is a " kindness " here - something that isn't simply topical, but

is seemingly inherent. Maybe it's the human nature of those who embrace

nature and understand her nature. Maybe it's the season. Maybe it's

just the natural reaction to wonderfully sumptuous fragrances giving

way to a heightened consciousness - I don't know.

But what's been happening here is just a little bit spiritual - or a

lot spiritual and it makes a person pleased to contribute - or to

simply enjoy being like " Ferdinand " from the childrens' story, and to

just sit quietly and smell the flowers.

Many just like to read and absorb like you, , and this sort of group

is set up for that

We work hard behind the scenes to help this kindness happen. Members are

on moderation until they post a bit so we know they're not spammers or

flamers. Sometimes something slips through, but not often. We had

terrible times with folks who wanted to push either their " I'm greener

than thou " or " You can't make good perfumes without synths " agendas, so

we've learned our lesson. Everybody has to respect others here, even if

you don't agree with the other party. It's just like keeping the peace

between folks who visit your house, in a way. I also think the

connection with the beautiful aromatics makes people a bit nicer :-)

We may have a new name for " lurkers " - " Ferdinands " -- I like it, LOL!

You're in, too, Suzanne. Aren't you in Florida? How are you avocados

taking the freeze/frost?

I AM A LIBRA TOO, snif;)

No seriously, I think it will be too expensive to sent any prizes to

the Netherlands and I am not sure if you can even send without custom

troubles to Europe?!

I would LOVE to read about the experiences of the contest winners, so

life report would be nice:)

Have fun!!

hello and Happy New Year group- I am usually lurking and

learning..lol. I would love to throw my name in the hat for some

samples- I have been loving the daily digest I get from here- youa re

all so plesant and kind and soo smart I have learned so much just by

reading every day! I also have been collecting samples to find what

are the best suppliers - starting a small home- based business of

blended EO's for parfume, health and just making scent available to

folks who actually have no idea how wonderful it really is- I have

always love love loved- parfumes but hated the cost- now in reading

this group and taking out every book I can reserve at my local library

(lol) I have learned sooo much and I am thrilled with the path that

my life has taken- as a stay at home mom - my days can be rather

boring and " same ol same old " -( not that I would trade my life for

anything at all)- but to find something as fascinating as this is

truly a blessing- I feel so fortunate to have found this group and

your knowledge is amazing - on top of being such nice people- not

like any other group I have ever belonged to - I love it- and

appreciate the chance to be a part of it - even if it's just in

lurking. I never win anything either - but it's fun to try- lol

thanks again and keep up your wonderful posts!!! AngelHawk
