Personal Manifesto
Today is the beginning. For many, as the wheel turns Samhain is the end. The year begins anew on November 1st. Others find their “new year” is appropriate on or around their time of birth. For me, the two are combined. My birthday is November 10th so I choose to start my personal year - for personal growth and development on November 1st.

Thank You...And an Update

Flood 2010 - Rebuilding Update
Another week has come to an end. It is Saturday again and I'm trying to keep out of our host family's way. They deserve to have family time without interruption from me. I'm also worried about the felines so I'm declaring it “Kitty Day”. I will spend most of the day back here with the babies. They miss human contact & have taken to running out ( Read more... ) -

We've made it through the first month after the storm. The worst part of this is behind us.
