Yes, I'm still alive. Are you??

Hello, all, and happy April!

So much for keeping up with the blog, huh? I know, I'm hopeless!

I've heard from some of you, but haven't written back. I keep thinking that I'll do it when I have the time to devote to you that you deserve, but...

Yes, I know I need to update information for people- please email me with updates. I will put them on this weekend. Are we still on for Charles' shindig in May? Let me know, guys, and I'll try to not be so lame!

Thanks and lets chat!

Burning Man Northwest Style

This blog sucks, but the reunion at Edgefield was spot on. I laughed my ass off.

Next go round is even better because we are going to burn shit! That's right. Everyone is going to bring something that they want to light up in flames. On the same note, we are going to sport costumes with the theme of: Fire. Even better, Tonia is going to host. That means you can bring a sleeping bag and sleep on the floor or just pass out next to the massive bon fire.

Please don't tell Tonia, but my personal goal is to stoke a fire big enough that the Fire Department shows up: shhhhhh.

I feel terribly that I missed our gathering. :( I have not been checking my home email or the blog, and for some reason thought we were meeting on Saturday....... I look forward to our next gathering in Nov.

I have been super busy trying to get organized and find balance with the start of the school year. Anyone else struggle with the summer to school transition? Things are going well though. I look forward to seeing everyone next time. :)

You remind me

You remind me I am good.

You remind me there are people who genuinely care.

You remind me I am loved.

You remind me I am lovable.

You remind me I am capable of being social in a group.

You remind me I care about you.

You remind me we are all human and ok with all of our baggage collected during our life's journeys.

You remind me how awesome we all are.

You remind me hugs are important.

You remind me how lucky we are.

You remind me.



I've been asked what and how I am doing...so I wrote another poem...

Summary of my space in this time

floating
creating at will
drifting between
watching
listening
reading
coloring
painting
beading
sewing
enjoying emotional equanimity
pretending to job hunt
loathe to relinquish the soothing creativity.
