And We Danced

Photos, Maybe
No, I guess not. With OD I could just click on the 'photo' icon in the tool bar, I could then 'browse', locate photo, click on it and it would come up and I could then click it into my diary page...
See Previous Entry/Earthquake
I finished the entry, then reviewed it after posting to find I hadn't said anything about the earthquake last night.... At 11:32p there was a rumble then a jolt. That was it. I have been watchin...
Earthquake/Blouse Almost Done

Springtime Sunshine

My Mind Is a Dangerous Place
I have too much time to think, I think... odd bits of odd memories accost me at the oddest times lately. Some memories so embarrassing I still cringe inside at the remembering. Some memories so b...
Short Entry
I have not been here regularly. I had February energy drain. Sunny days after a boatload of snow. Beautiful Northern Lights lately, though the most exciting forecast turned into a dud by the time...
Olympic Crochet
I am rolling along nicely watching the Olympics and crocheting. They go perfectly together, especially since I make money crocheting and my sleep schedule is upside down as usual. The 10:30pm Oly...
Long Time No Write
I have begun coming here to visit OD friends. Slowly, tentatively I poke around peeking here and there. Now it is time to write, something, anything. I have been doing piecework for Madame. She...
Photos here?
It took me forever to finally learn an easy way to post photos on OD. The method I came up with had nothing to do with the photobucket thingie there. I accessed something in the bar above the ent...
A Small Entry Catch Up
The tooth saga is over. The tube fell out of Hub's jaw on Wednesday while he was taking a shower and it was not covered (or supported) by any bandages. I got him in to see Lynn and she took out t...

RIP Tuffy-Cat

I Have a New Job for Next Season
A New Job for Me Wednesday, September 11, 2013 The computer keeps telling me that the script on this page is running too slowly and to continue might damage something-or-other. So I'll be b...
Book Description
Spirit, the Universe, God, Higher Power–all refer to that small still voice that guides me, prods me and urges me onward. The maternal side of my family has/had many psychics–intuitives who just knew and acted on what they ‘knew’. No one other than my brother has done any training or study to strengthen this ability. We just use it, trust it, and find no reason to explain it. All I ask is that those who love me respect that I believe. I do not ask that they believe.
Much of what I write is about this listening to Spirit and acting upon the prodding. I also live in Skagway, Alaska a most beautiful and close-knit community. We are a summer cruise stop and much of the season is spent in frantic fulfillment of tourist’s tour needs and in filling our coffers for the winter when there is no employment here. I liken this to growing up in Kansas with the wheat harvest–much frantic activity followed by a much-needed rest.
I am a refugee from Open Diary, joining many dear friends from there. I expect to have a steep learning curve to becoming comfortable here, navigating and so on.
This will be my only ‘book’.
Blessed be!
