They say every artist dips his brush in his own soul! That is what I see in your work. You have become a wonderful friend to me, and Ani you are Absolutely Fabulous and I adore you!
Love and hugs Shawnna March 9, 2008
Ani's spirit embodies the core of bardry... her poetry is personal and unique in inspiration and style, and at the same time universally accessable and meaningful. Her easy touch with language and unassuming innocence in her words belies the complexity of rhythm and layered metaphor. There is much for me to learn in the reading here.
Awen, my friend. Thank you for your words. February 15, 2008
Hmm.

Hello Ani,
Just a few words that I would like to say to you Sweet Lady. You are a gentle Kind Hearted Soul that I am glad to call friend. Someone that I can talk to about things and not be ridiculed. Someone that makes me feel at ease, someone that I can laugh with. I call you more than friend....you are Family! All is well, Love bard October 23, 2007
I only recently met Ani on Tribe, but am touched by her connection to her ancestors and how she honors them. I am also impressed by the love she shows her living family, and how each member has been gifted with the planting of a symbolic tree, rooting each soul firmly into the land. I loved learning about her journeys, and appreciate her sharing such beautiful travel pictures and unique artwork. I hope to get to know Ani better, and continue to share!

It has been a while since I have posted here..... but I have not been able to find a job since losing my job from Widevine IT Security last September. I join many people who are not on unemployment. Despite a good education and mental skills, it is still a challenge for all of us who are in similar situations. The message to me is that creativity is what must happen - creating my own employment. So in this last week a new shop at Zazzle has begun to have my art on t-shirts, mugs and poste...

The tree was up days ago - as tradition, picked by my eldest daughter and myself. Many of my friends eschew trees as being wasteful - but .. our family loves bringing that piece of greenery into the house. Piece by piece we decorated the tree with memories - ornaments from my childhood, ornaments made by our children, silver ornaments from my mother in law for the children. The little lit plastic church from my father's mother when I was a child, the creche scene I sculpted when our son (f...

Nature has made her will known, which leaves me moving from space to space within my home, cleaning even more diligently. My Gods! One can accumulate a lot of junk in 33 years in one abode! Shut in.... in the cavern before the light is reborn. At least at this moment the sun is shining over all the snow and frosty landscape. Our daughter Brittain made it safely from Brooklyn a couple of days ago.

Our children will all be home for Christmas. What a blessed time it will be. The garland is hung around the living room coved ceiling. Then there are the packages that need to be sent off to my in-laws. With a year and a half year old grand daughter coming to visit so many things need to be put 'up' or away.... The special stockings are hung on the ... read more
Ah yes! Pagasys played another gig and Keeper of the Well was played to a receptive audience, which asked for an encore. It was a fundraiser event for the small Druidic Gorsedd of Caer Pugetia. Seems like the Seattle Parks Dept has decided to raise the rates for the event rentals in the park spaces to a horrific fee - something hard for a group with no real money! Hmmm... we raised a bit towards those fees.

For the last several weeks I had been drafted into being part of Pagasys, a band. Interesting - I have never been part of bands before a couple of months ago when I started taking photographs. Pagasys had been rehearsing a new music creation dedicated to Bridghid. Last night was the debut of that piece. There were 3 of us on that stage who were rece... read more

So I had to order another one. <wince> There are people waiting to see the photos I have locked inside that camera. hmmmm...

The last few weeks have been busy with painting a wall for friends...a lovely forest with animals, and rehearsing with the band Pagasys. There is a wonderful new piece of work to honor the Goddess Brigid which we will perform next Saturday for a friend's birthday party. Somehow I got recruited - so I play the keyboard making bell sounds and singing in the chorus. Hmmmm... it is harder than it looks to sing and play at the same time. I am learning.

This is the first day of the future.... Our country has finally crossed a threshold to elect Obama. It is a monumental shift in our country, thankfully. We have elected someone who represents the cross section of our American people. There were many factors involved, but I truly believe that the fear and concerns about the economy were a last straw. But Obama also brought his charisma and intellect and the willingness to reach out and draw people together. Why did it take so long? Now wil...
