Bio

I have a wonderful partner, Lori, whom I talk about in my journal. We share our home with our fur babies, among whom are Lily the one eyed one eared wondermutt, ((Emma the wolfie who has since passed but I can not take her name outta my profile)) , Baby the big black magickal cat, and CWNN who is a 24 toed polydactyl kat hoodlum, who is the cat I love more than I have words for. How is it possible to have a soul mate who is not human??


We live in a little old adobe house that we are still learning about. Parts of it are nearly 100 years old so it has that wisdom of old houses. It is small.. but my Gramma always said "love grows best in small houses." The summer of 2007 we started the long and so far interesting process of acquiring a mortgage to make the little house ours. We have a wonderful ECO-agent in ABQ if you are ever looking for a real estate agent... let me know I would Highly recommend the one we are working with!!! LOL as of the spring of 09 we have been paying that afore mentioned mortgage for about a year and a half now. Our house is our HOME. We put down roots here and I can't imagine being anywhere else.

I live a life of small but intense adventures. From food to... owning goats. I like to learn and love to try new things... especially if they do not involve people. The older I get the more hermitish I get. And honestly that is alright with me. Sometimes I miss having a large circle of "friends" but really when I think about it I am happier now with a few close trusted folks. That circle has not changed much in the past year or two, and that is still alright with me. Feeling a little less hermitish but really no happier with the social stuff, just a little more brave about opening my heart again.

I have lost my faith in most of humanity. The more work I do with homeless folks and the more of their stories that I hear the less I think that there are many people who really care in the world.... at least not many who care with the means to change what is happening. WHAT IS HAPPENING? I think that the worst is yet to come... gas prices will continue to rise... people will continue to loose jobs and homes ... Food prices and scarcity worry me .... The dollar will continue to decline... the markets will continue to fall... and we will elect a new president... I hope there are some fixes to follow.... I hope that it is not too late!!!

I learn more daily to have faith in the motto we have claimed for our family: Dum Spiro, Spero.

Faith... the best kind of magick.


Always a story in progress....

SPRING 09: A little more to say; I have been making art. My drawing skills are not growing very quickly but they are coming along. I still prefer to doodle than to sit down and actually try to send something from my eye to my brain to my hand. I picked up some old art projects... and put some new ones down. I am trying to learn to make peace with my sewing machine...LOL this should be quite an adventure. I had major surgery this spring, I am healing just fine both emotionally and physically. The first time they give you that long of a vacation... sometimes I was worried that I would not come out of surgery ( which I hear is a common fear)
Life is worth living. Love is worth giving. Happiness is worth rolling around in.
Gratitude is effortful but absolutely enlightening.
I love Lori more than each day and still trust her completely (which is saying alot for a relationship rushing to turn ten)
