Gifts are certainly not required to get my attention but are always appreciated! If you need some ideas because you’d like to surprise me, here are some tips:
Flowers, roses in particular
White wines, mineral but not acidic
Milk chocolates, preferably with a cream or fruit centers
A book you’ve read recently and want to chat about
A clothing item made of silk or linen
Golds and rose golds suit my skin tone
Please no: Sparkling wine (including champagne), fast fashion, fragrances or toiletries, unused leather products, or fur products
I have a number of hotels, getaways, and other locales where I’d love to join you! Here are a few of my favorites. And, of course, suites always give us plenty of niches to explore together.

I am glad to personally accept unadulterated donations from the generous. You can contribute to my ongoing educational attainment here, but there are other causes that could also use your help.
As many of you know, I’m an unabashedly political person, with deeply leftist leanings rooted in my knowledge that there is little separation between the personal and political. My largest concerns and own volunteering have to do with fighting climate change that threatens the lives of millions around the globe, staunch opposition to creeping fascistic movements in the United States and beyond, protections for laborers both foreign and domestic, as well as more local scale support for vulnerable members of my community.
