Update One- The Big One What Happened?

What's the point of keeping a journal if you don't check back from time to time? To get a sense of where you've been, establish once again, where you wanna be.

So I've been going through my blog.

· Belly Dancing- still unfulfilled dream

· Woman and the Tower, we've made a truce.

· Disturbing dream-haunts me still.

· Is the big one coming? A mother's intuition:


Yes, came and went, but wasn't what she was expecting.

By summers end, New Orleans’s was devastated. Far, far from here.
It wasn't a west coast thing, but I'm proud to say it was my town that was able to get down there within the first few days to begin rescue operations, even though FEMA failed miserably. I wish our small contingent of search and rescue workers could have been joined by others and gone out in larger numbers.

I wrote a love poem for New Orleans’s and submitted it to AP, my submission counted towards five small dollars for donation to relief efforts. My small piece was joined by another whack of people and I think the final tally came to close to $500. A drop in the bucket, I know. I wish I could have done more but am eternally grateful for the people who helped make the event happen.

Rather than an upheaval of the Earth, what mom felt coming for me, was more a revolution of life. A period of great loss ensued her intuition, and yes I was devastated.

Death, loss, heartache, end of times.
Over, done, complete, gone, passed.

An era of my life has ended, I'm not too sure what new one has begun to take form.
In the meantime, I'm planted here, watching the wind blow changing leaves all around me. There's a twinkle in the twilight, as oak gathers in piles of gold by my feet.

Links I used to ensure I was prepared in any event.
