    There are still people coming into public libraries arguing about why they need to wear a mask. Some old guy with a beard tried to tell me he didn’t need to wear one because there was no one near him. He is the reason why I was not able to work full time last week…

    I get to go back to work today and I am so happy at the prospect! Just one job today.

    I got approved for telecommuting

    But it’s only while my son’s classroom is in quarantine. Apparently there was a close contact last week. So his whole class is remote this week. So far, it’s been much better than last year. Maybe it’s because he knows it’s just temporary… I get to work on Storyline. I’m super excited by this project.…

  • So Much Happening

    So Much Happening

    All the time. It’s hard to find time. I finished my latest tapestry a few weeks ago. It came out really well.

    Almost there

    I think that I have had this tapestry on my loom longer than any other work. I’m pretty sure I started it in February. With everything going on in my life these days, I feel lucky to find any time to work on this. I love the sparkly sky and the textures. I love how…

    It’s that time of the year when the veils are thin between the Otherworlds and ours. Expect strange synchronicities, sudden coincidences, or unusual happenings. Maybe breakthrough communications? I’m not a religious person. I am a spiritual person. If I had to name my spirituality, it would be Celtic Pagan Star Wars.

  • A Shared Moment of Deep Connection

    A Shared Moment of Deep Connection

    So there’s this moment of time At the end of the night Where the cat sits on my chest And purrs Her deep, rumbly purrs And flicks her sleek, smooth tail Against my arm. My eyes close And I feel so calm And so at peace. That’s what I’m missing from my day. That peace.…
