"Fray" used to be another site that did this though the content tended toward much darker subjects. I see it is now a print mag. Oh! Here's an archive: http://fray.com/index-old.shtml

I'm always thrilled to see you post, and excited you plan to do it more often!

I love this new piece and the piece you posted yesterday!

I can not believe you have 150 feeds, I have one!! haha

A promise is a promise Tricia. And maybe I'll wean myself off those 150 feeds. Or not. ;)

BTW, there's the potential for an interesting discussion started on my site. I'll even give you the direct URL. :)

like the collage. lately i've been feeling like everything needs a little red. so that's how i feel about your piece too.

the only place i can write every day is here.

Funny you should say that because I've been feeling the same way about touches of red.
