Elegant souls.  People who choose to live with integrity, to be their authentic selves and who have the ability to stand up for themselves, living in alignment with their values. 

I wish I could say my own...but my instinct is to say my mother's.  No matter what life throws at her, she is anchored in the joy of living--a quite, serene, radiant joy that is there at her core.  I'm striving for that!

I also admire Mother Teresa...and St. Teresa of Avila.  And the adventurous, artistic side of me yearns to live the life of an "artistic wanderer" like Loreena McKennitt or Paulo Coehlo.
