Thankful Snapshots

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

This incredibly unique, artistic and sensitive princess...She's growing into a (way too) gorgeous young lady with a beautiful heart to match.

This little girl has strength I never imagined, but a part of her beauty is her times of 'weakness' when she shows her fears and insecurities.

I never imagined how complete this little guy would make my life. My princesses were all I ever wanted, until I laid eyes on this little face.

Despite the 'death' in this tree, it is surrounded by green life. Incredible symbolism of our lives on this Earth, it truly is neverending in a cycle of beauty.

I love this smell, when the Court Jester comes in from burning, I hold him close and sniff his scent mixed with the smoky spice of the fire. True happiness in one whiff.

If you are travelling this Thanksgiving, Please be safe, and return to your normally scheduled lives. Thanks and much love!

Universal Intervention

I have a quick announcement before beginning my blog. Keep looking here for my first ever interviewee to come to my humble little blog and give us some fascinating tidbits on her as a writer, and her debut novel. I'm waiting to hear back from her to find the specific date that works for both of us without making Thanksgiving all stressful-or more stressful than usual.

I wanted to thank everyone for the well wishes on job searching. I hate to tell you that I didn't even get to go out and look. It started out as a gloomy day, I took the princesses to school and came home to get ready for Operation Make Money. The court jester got a phone call from his brother-the same brother I strongly dislike right now for various reasons. So, he left to help his brother, leaving me with the young prince. When he finally came home, he informed me that I can't drive my car until he works on it. Sounds funny. Don't want it to blow up, do we?

I was briefly upset and then went to my writing. But it kept bugging me all day that I didn't get to follow through on my plans. So, I went to sorting clothes. Our place is so tiny, we can only have one season of clothes hanging up and in drawers at a time. I've been getting winter clothes out, stuffing summer clothes, bagging give-away clothes. Still bugged me that I wasn't pounding the streets looking for work. I tried to write some more. Gave up after two sentences and took a two hour nap with my young prince. Then, I woke up and started this cycle over again.

When I expressed my frustration to the court jester he only smiled. Why is he always laughing at me? He told me, in all his wisdom, that he was surprised I didn't take it as a 'sign' that the Universe wants me to stay home and write. Oh yeah, I usually do that, don't I? It's my favorite excuse... "Well, I would have, but the Universe wanted something else..."

So, the plan is to go out and look for a job after the court jester works on the car and if it doesn't work, still, I have no problems with the direction from the Universe.
