just did some more tweaking  of my bio. Now I'm off to bed...to sleep, perchance to dream....and all that.

Recently, I read one of the books S. J. Tucker recommended by Catherynne M. Valente. "The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making" is actually a children's book, but for those of us who still have a child inside us, that's not such a big deal. I still found enjoyment in it. Children's books, afterall, are written by adults ( Read more... )

mission to write a decent bio accomplished. now, it's after 11. Off to bed with ye.

Don't forget to write something spiffy in your bio page next time you're on and have time. Now, off to work with ye!!

Go to bed earlier tonight. You're getting too old to go to bed after 11 and get up at 4-something....And, drink more coffee.

Tonight I'm rather proud of myself. I turned a corner today in my battle with my baggage. I finally got so tired of my own shit that I told myself to knock it off and it worked this time. Already, I've noticed a difference in how I'm able to send out love and healing and safe journeys energy to those whom I care about. It's much much easier when ( Read more... )

Been spending a lot of time in the past on here, so I thought I'd spend a little time in the "Now" for a minute. Woke up this morning with S. J. Tucker's song "Storm" playing in my head. (In fact, it's still playing in my head, but hey. I like that song, so it's all good.) I don't remember specifically what my dream was about. It's all kind of a ( Read more... )
