The list author says: "Every year I made an autobiographical mix to describe my experiences. I make copies and pretty cover art and send them to everyone I love. It's one of my favorite creative exercises. Here's what I put on this year's."
"Because I've chosen to be a married lady. The sacrifices & difficulties that come with wedded bliss teach me how to live more fully. It takes two to learn these lessons."
"Another song about the trials of married life. I included this one because of the way married people have a tendency to project undesirable characteristics onto each other, which prevents either person from seeing the other clearly and truly."
"Are you sensing a theme here? Married life is difficult. If you are honest with yourselves, it forces you to face your selfishness like nothing else I know."
"A pretty song I included because it reminds me of the magic of the Big Island I call home. "Kona Moon she sees it all. So why deny your kisses so sweet?" It reminds me not to resist the present moment- sweet surrender instead."
"Some say I'm good for nothin, it's just that nothin's good for me... This song reminds me not to apologize for my life, which I've designed just as I want it- to be full of space and peace and quiet."
"Moats & Boats and Waterfalls, Alleyways and Payphone calls, Man I been everywhere with you. (That's true.) Home, let me come home. Home is wherever I'm with you."
