Hi there!
I have so many thank yous and I love yous and hugs to hand out. I am going to take the time to do it, but here is a collective THANK YOU!!

Your support is invaluable.

I have been a bit overwhelmed emotionally (sheesh, enough huh?) but this time with great pride, love, a bit of apprehension but no regret.

My daughter turns 30 Fri. What a huge Milestone. She has been through so much and is such a remarkable human being. I love her more than I can express. She is thoughtful, caring, loving, giving, courageous, stronger than steel and softer than cotton. Intense, with depth and a undying thirst for justice.
of course at this time, I reflect, I measure out my choices and start to delve deeper than need be.

My eldest son (just turned 21) leaves for Uganda on a Missions Trip on Tues.
[link] The support of friends and family has been intense and overwhelming. Thank you all!! We have had our wonderful deviants support also!

The little guys are a little worried and are clinging to him some.

But...we keep them busy and the little guys are gearing up for their orange belts in TaeKwanDo and we are all very excited. They broke boards yesterday. and brought them home for display!

Midterms are over and I am apprehensive and want my grades NOW lol or do I? I love school, but it is stressful.. I really took for granted how hard all my studious friends worked. I am sorry for that and have a much deeper respect.

I have 2 books I am writing
Gearing up for Open Studios
Setting Up new Portfolio Studio (Have recording up and running, but we have been re-mastering and archiving old stuff)
Getting a Scenic Portfolio ready (not easy!!)
Home Schooling my lil munchkins

Keeping up with my fellow deviants is so important to me. We see to have been using other means these days, like Facebook etc. I miss the cohesiveness I once felt here. Perhaps volunteering again would bring me closer to the core.

and dang it.. the sun came out and all I want to do is play!! My turtle disappeared in the beginning of winter and I panicked. I didn't know about them hibernating!! The lil guy made it home! there he was all kickin' back in the pond.. I was overjoyed.
