Can I tell you a little story? It’s one I’ve told a few times recently, but never written down – until tonight. I’ve been thinking about transitional moments a lot recently. I think that in those in-between spaces is where the magic in our lives happens. The step betwixt this and that, the place where [...]
Okay, so even though it’s a little bit late, I want to wish a happy belated birthday to Stevie Nicks. I’m a latecomer to the enchantments of the Welsh Witch, as my parents were definitely not into soft rock of any kind. I was raised listening to old country music like Hank Williams, Kitty Wells, [...]
I just realized how little time I have to get my act together regarding my Halloween costume! I think I have mostly everything I need, provided my bustier arrives in time – fingers crossed! I am on the hunt for the perfect eyelashes, but I’m not even certain that what I want exists anywhere. I’ll [...]
Well, not really! I’ve been hard at work and doing a lot of thinking, my friends- and so I do apologize for the quiet. Exciting things are soon to be revealed! The season is turning, and in these liminal states we find hidden knowledge. My dreams are getting wild again- are yours? What’s the latest [...]

I am finally beginning to feel halfway human again after le disko deluge, (yes more on that soon!) As usual, it’s not quite Thursday anymore- but c’est la vie! So many things have been happening lately that my heart feels filled with stars and champagne, and despite disko-induced aches and pains, I’ve been breaking into [...]
I really only have a teensy snoppet of time just now- but as it happens to be Thursday, (well it was when I started writing this, anyway!) I feel moved to thank my lucky stars for some bits of assorted amazingness I’ve been experiencing lately: ♡ It finally rained yesterday! We’ve been in a terrible [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot about recurring dreams lately. I had a conversation with the woman I happened to be sitting next to in the movie theater. I’m not excatly sure right now how we got on the subject, but the subject came up. They were showing a clip of Fantasia, and we were all [...]
I was Salomé for Halloween this year, as in Dance of the Seven Veils, daughter of Herodias, and all that. I suppose I oughtn’t have been surprised at how many people I met had no idea who Salomé was.. All obscure biblical references aside- I mean, really? The favorite femme fatale of the fin-de-siècle! “In [...]

I was saddened to hear that Studs Terkel died on Halloween. He was an amazing man, whom I had the honor of meeting a couple of years ago. We went to visit him at his house in Chicago on Thanksgiving morning. It was bitter cold and snow was on the ground, too bright- it gave [...]
