- The
Wishes, Comfort and Joy post has turned into something
amazing. Courageous people are posting their wishes, and having them answered, and answering one another, and finding new friendships and little miracles in this beautiful season of light. Your kindness, unceasing generosity and compassion have left me in awe, and I am so endlessly blessed to be surrounded by people who are this good, this brilliant. :) If you haven't yet taken part in it, there is a whole lot of sparkle and love, waiting for you there.
Hop in~ <3
- I cleaned up my userinfo page and added many new people that I hadn't known friended me yet (I'm an oldschool user--I've had my journal for almost nine years, and it doesn't send me an email when someone has friended me!). Sorry you were waiting so long, and welcome~! :) It'll be nice to get to know you~
- This is all very rushed, because this afternoon, Jenn and I are flying out to Chicago to spend the weekend with part of our soul family--Rachel (
songtoisis), Daniel and Graeme. :) I have been looking forward to this trip for months--a bright, glowing set of moments in the normally hectic month that will rejuvenate and fill up my well with love, goodness, happiness and mirth. I have missed Rachel so much, I can't articulate it, and to be able to spend time with her in her new home, celebrating one of the most beautiful seasons nature gives us fills up my heart with joy~ I Can. Not. WAIT!!!! :)
- So, I have this amazing wife. Have I, you know, mentioned her lately? XDDDD I'm kind of ridiculously in love with her, and she's an angel, and her name is Jenn. The other day, we were making gifts at the card table together, and I was doing something tiny and painstaking, and I stopped for a moment to stretch. "You know?" I told her. "I want to tell stories that will change people's lives." It kind of came out of nowhere, this deep memory of what I so badly want to do--we hadn't been talking about it--but she smiled up at me, and said: "you will." I sat back down and looked at the VERY LONG LIST of gifts yet to make, and said sweepingly: "Oh, I can't--not yet! In January it starts back up full time again. Right now, I have gifts to make!" She stopped what she was doing and said, very quietly: "well, this is a gift to the world." Yeah. I cried. ;;;-;;; Gah, I love her...
- So this post is not TOTALLY MushMcMushershon, here is an absolutely adorable picture of My Parrot, otherwise known as Orca, and my incredibly wonderful wife. I'm training Orca how to stand on my shoulder while I walk around--he loves it, and I'm looking witchier every day~ ;D He came trained on how to give DEBILITATINGLY ADORABLE HUGS.
