More than my luggage

I spent the day yesterday with my dear old friend, J.  As always, he seems to arrive just as I need him.  He’s been doing that for 11 years.  Our friendship is the real deal and I’m so enriched by it.  B has even gone so far as to personally thank J for being such [...]

The Buddha Within

I found this piece of artwork this morning while hunting around for some Buddhist centers in my area. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? It speaks to me. It’s called The Buddha Within and the artist is Aesha Kennedy.
I’m working through some really hard things these days. The stuff that many [...]

Blatherings

So, I have this new wireless optical mouse.  Occasionally it will trigger some sort of telekinetic experience as things will get clicked (most often, right clicked) without my fingers touching the crazy thing.  I’m hunting around for a mouse exorcist - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Especially if it’s from you computery folks.  ESPD, [...]

OUCH!!!!

Just got back from the local natural food store.  Got myself some good ol’ Dr. Burt’s Res-Q Ointment to rub on my forehead.  It’s sore and bruised from being banged into the wall in response to some folks’ unbelievably mind-numbing stupidity.

The face of love

There is a person in my life who struggles with love.  It’s been a long standing issue with her - nearly 40 years now.  Due to less than ideal parentage (yes, they did the best they could - we all do, but that was still lacking in some serious areas,) as well as some unfortunate [...]

Ozark Handspun to Decorate Big Ben

Okay, well, maybe that’s looking a little too far into the future - but it’s on the way, I can tell.  Yesterday at the trade show, Dave, Terri, and Velma took on 27 (28?) new shops that will be carrying Ozark Handspun.  One of them is in LONDON!!  So, yep, intercontinental.  Not bad, eh?
 
Take [...]

Must remember

that kids fighting is normal and that I should stay out of it.  Unless there are things being broken or names being called or fists being thrown, I should just stay out of it and say, "Wow, how nice it is that my children are teaching themselves how to negotiate and problem solve!"
 
Ugh. By [...]

Praise for the man

Before you all call 9-1-1 for your own apparent heart attack, let me rephrase. "Praise for MY man."  Pshaw - yeah, like I’d ever praise "THE Man."  Did you forget who’s blog you’re reading?
 
Anyway, our anniversary is coming up.  In less than a month and I’m so excited.  We’ve never really done anything, never [...]

Bustin’ out all over Part One

VJ, Dave, and Terri are driving down the California coast as I type this on their way to San Diego for the National Needle Arts Trade Show.  This show is HUGE.  Beyond huge, probably, but let’s not get too carried away, eh?  It’s possible that Ozark Handspun will walk away from the show with [...]

Buddha, I’m stuck!!!

So, I’m reading If the Buddha Got Stuck by Charlotte Kasl . I am stuck. I’m just plain ol’ stuck and it happens. No biggie. Just need to get unstuck. This book is amazing, delightful. Since I don’t so much have it in me to write my own [...]
