My Favorites
Favorite Word:
real
Derived from the Spanish coin, the "reale," which was the coin minted by the king, and thus, of genuine, guaranteed value. A dream once told me to follow spirit, picture, speech and experience to find what was "real" for me.
Other subscribers who love this word:

Least Favorite Word:
nice
Dull, stupid, boring, a waste of time. No one ever accomplished anything "real" being "nice."
