Safety or Growth?

Today has been a day of safety AND growth for me.  Safety, because I did alot of introspection and meditations since awakening. I believe there was learning, and therefore growth today.

And the ones closest to me, those super fuzzy aloe vera-laced ones. After having my awesome boots on for the evening, I… Continue reading I am but a humble mermaid, trying to dance…

My Fire Fox hates WordPress when it’s snowing, or, Day 2

I apologize! This is only really the third day of me blogging. I thought I put this on the blog. I couldn't check the site because of internet problems. We've discovered our filter for our phone line and internet was corroded, so we need to get new ones. So this isn't actually going out until… Continue reading My Fire Fox hates WordPress when it’s snowing, or, Day 2
