<p>1.  In a psychic research class that I took in graduate school, I once bent a spoon with my mind (a la Uri Geller).<br />
2.  I once solved a very difficult math problem that I had been told had never been solved before by dreaming on it.<br />
3.  I love lavenders, and purples<br />
4.  I have always been fascinated with mythology and my home is filled with statues of fairies and angels.<br />
5.  My favorite flower always seems to be the one that is blooming at the moment - although I have an enduring love for orchids.<br />
6.  I have had out-of-body experiences.<br />
7.  When I went back to college after an absence of 6 years, I took a German class - and I started dreaming in German.  I didnt know what the German meant when I remembered my dream - but found out that it was entirely accurate for the dream context.<br />
8.  My husband and I both played the violin when we were younger.<br />
9.  I love to walk in my yard in the coolness of the morning and check on and talk to all of my plants.<br />
10.  I love light - and Christmas lights.  I have strung several sets of led Christmas lights around the top of my sunroom and keep them lit all the time.<br />
11.  I love the sound of running water and have a fountain in my sunroom and a little table-top fountain by my computer.<br />
12.  I lived in Lubbock, Texas in the early 50&#8217;s and saw the Lubbock Lights - which many people - including me - believe were UFOs.<br />
13.  The first Spring after I moved to Lubbock when I was six, a tornado dropped down out of the clouds just a few blocks south of our home - heading right for us. </p>
