Hope everyone’s holidays were wonderful – I’ve spent mine healing and being cozy! I seriously think all the well-wishes and magic energies are helping me – I’m healing so so much faster and can walk around, etc – last time I had a similar surgery, it was weeks before walking easily & feeling weak in [...]

tinsel & diamonds December 16, 2009 13

Come in, come in!!  In the midst of all the loss and curious nonsense of life, I’ve been focusing on the holidays & making life as cozy in the chaos as possible. Hexmas shopping with Kate (who has some really sweet cards in her shop – maybe you need thank you notes for all those [...]

grandmother selkie December 10, 2009 27

I don’t know if I can stop crying long enough to write, but I don’t know what else to do and I’m home alone until later tonight. My grandmother died this morning. She was 92, and she said she wanted to rest, and just went to sleep. I’ve been dreaming for weeks she was going [...]

There are lots and lots of blogs out there that focus on Stuff. In fact, it is a leeetle mind boggling just how many! However, it’s the holidays! Everyone likes Stuff!

wee hoos November 28, 2009 21

It’s been a rough few weeks – I’ve written about it in more secret places, but on the 16th of November, Janna, my therapist / magic-spirit-mama / life guide (of 7 years now) took her own life. It’s been one of the most profound losses I’ve experienced, unbelievable in it’s finality. I’m trying to just [...]

Whirlwinds! Running all over and packing and getting ready to move into a new wee house with the Professor! (Who really needs a new nom de blog, by the by. He’s not really a Professor!) Very exciting and very scary too! Shhh! But, life is going faster than blogging is possible, so I have a [...]

many ghosts November 3, 2009 7

Dia de los Muertos, San Francisco. Writing about it is kind of like talking during the procession, it’s too difficult, strange. Everyone swirling in their own heads and spheres, separate in a sea of thousands of skeletons, dancing around the demons, communing with the ancestors. So here are evidences of the spirits all around us, [...]
