2.3.22. IPHONE SE, mostly SOOTC
Its cold. It’s wet. It’s really coming down out there and I absolutely love it. Can I please move to Seattle, England, or Patagonia? Hell, I’ll even take the Doldrums in a canoe. Just GIVE ME THE RAIN.

Queen of X’s
Iphone SE – 2.1.22.
So I just learned from a professional that if there are X’s in one’s palm print (AKA: Timeline), it’s indicative of success, wealth and greatness. Um, I have about 50 of them. Keep in mind I don’t associate money with wealth in any way, whatsoever. The same can be said for success and “greatness” (and I use that term very loosely). I prefer happiness to greatness. But for me, money pays my rent and bills; that’s about it. It’s definitely not my drive, direction, focus or happiness. We create our own happiness (or sorrow) by the choices we make in life- every day. My happiness comes free and easily.
One can have all of the material possessions he so desires- lacking nothing! But still be sorrowful in his soul. The flip side is true too: one can have not a home or a pair of shoes on her feet, and the world is hers for the taking. (Gender plays no role; I simply wanted to be fair in the whole she/he thing.)
I’m not hating my palm print. 😁
It’s definitely decorative, and I don’t quite understand all of its implications, but I dig it.
CYANIDE & CHERRIES
I’ve been waiting for a long time to do this!
I have a totally badass friend who’s an amazing writer. I actually wanted to review her book- Colour Me In Cyanide & Cherries – as I promised her I would when I purchased a copy a wee bit ago. However, there are no words that can do this collection of writings justice, and I would feel stupid trying to.
You can click here if you’d like to check it out or pick up a copy, and I can’t recommend it enough; makes for excellent anytime-of-day-or-night reading.
Here’s a partial sample and one of my personal favourite’s, “Nine of Hearts”:
She’s a busy gal and in the process of publishing her second magazine (more on that later), so if you’d like to support her, I won’t insult her body of work by throwing up a donation tab, but I will encourage one and all to grab a copy of this most excellent (and complete) collection of poems, prose, and musings. Take my word for it: It is fantastic.
Thank you for any and all support! xx

Girls, if you’re seeing this, don’t wear make-up. I am FIFTY TWO years old, going on 25. 😁
But seriously, just don’t! If you start with that stuff, it’ll rob your older self of your beauty.
