Bonnie Rocks my socks! She so super sweet and supports my pants addiction. What more could a pants addict want. Anyway even though we haven't met in person in all my contacts with her she has been super sweet and wonderful. We all love Bonnie!!

Bonnie what can I say in mere words to express all of the positive feelings and thoughts and wonderful things that are you? I am not a writer and I know that whatever I write in no way could ever do wonderful you justice. It's BIG the great task you are here to perform. You touch our hearts, you give of your soul selflessly, you express so openly. You are a boon to human kind. You are an inspration to woman kind. You care about others so completely and I am inspired by your example. Love and light to you. Love and light to all that are a part of your life.

**~** Bonnie **~**
You are the BOMB!
Even though we have only had a few brief encounters
I recognize you to be one of the loveliest people
I have ever met.
You are refreshingly GENEROUS
with your time, with your heart, with your LOVE
You are undeniably COMMITTED to making a
positive contribution to your Come-unity and to the planet
with all that you stand for, with how you show up, with the bits of wisdom and insight that you openly share.
You are silly, witty, hilarious, courageous, strong, beauty-full and infinitely more.
I acknowledge you for your willingness be fully self expressed in the face of opposition.
Thank you for your radiant inspiration.
Namaste'

Bonnie has posted a new (or rather, old) photograph in her profile; an 80s hair picture. It so moved me that I simply had to comment.
In viewing it, we are at once confronted by the stark reality, expressed so well by the many shades of grey. How like our own lives, where we so often look for the simplest of answers, the least common denominator, but are continually frustrated by the emotional and psychological shades of grey that confront us.
The hair flying back adequately expresses our shock at the sea of chaotic relativism, which often threatens to envelop us. Is the smile authentic, or does it represent the “brave face” that many try to put forward, mindful of the existential crisis brewing within. The earrings likewise symbolize this eternal conflict, the never-ending wheel from which most ultimately realize they cannot escape. Those with “ears to hear” understand the potential futility of the struggle for inherent meaning.
Is that meaning pre-existent, or merely self-created, a faint hope against a tide of randomness, of existential absurdity? Are we guilty of the Sartrean “bad faith”, ignoring the awful truth to avoid the inescapable consequences of our discovery? Like Roquentin, do we risk confrontation with being-as-it-is, with all of the attendant horror and wonder that such an epiphany provides?
80s music and fashion can only further add to our despair.

I love Bonnie. But she doesn't know. She is a nice mommy and I'm glad she married my Laura mommy. She made the best catnip pocket from one of the pockets of my mommy's old pair of shorts. I love my catnip pocket! She made me a really great sleeping nest in a cubby hole with a blankie and everything. She keeps me company all day. Thank you Bonnie for loving me back. And thank you for London Broil. Purrrrrrrrrrrr.

This girl is a genius! I'm not just saying that because she is my wife either. Bonnie is easily the smartest person I know. Amazing writer, brilliant scholar, sweet woman, research guru, wickedly funny, coupon queen are just a few of the areas in which Bonnie excels. And she puts up with me! I'm the luckiest girl in the world that this beautiful woman with such a deep soul has allowed me into her life. She is my soulmate, forever and a day, to the stars and back. I love you my angel.

about me
I believe in creating positive change through loving kindness, compassionate abiding, and art that honors the feminine.
I've got water in my ear, I've got water in my ear.
Here's my hair, here's my hair, here's my hair!
Here's my boobies, not for you! Here's my boobies, not for you!
Get out! Get out! Get out!
Who's that in the audience? Who's that in the audience? Your mom!
I've got a headache, got a headache, it's a migraine!
I've got gum on my shoe, gum on my shoe, gum on my shoe.
My nails are wet, my nails are wet, my nails are wet, whhhft!
I've got a pain in my side, pain in my side, it's appendicitis!

Gorgeous dancers and friends,
May the fullness of the Long Nights Moon this week remind us how much of a difference the light makes when we find ourselves in darkness, and how beautiful the simplest things in life are. What a relief it is to aspire to green and simplify the holidays as much as possible! If you are interested in ideas for making December easier on yourself, here’s a great place to get started www.newdream.org/holiday/index.php Or if you just need a reminder to breath...

Gorgeous dancers and friends,

May this quick event update help you plan out a special treat for yourself, and may all of your festivities begin and end with deep gratitude.

Happy Día de los Muertos, dancers and friends!
Daylight Savings Time ends in just a few minutes. As you set your clocks back today, I encourage you to consider what you might do with an extra hour every day. Would you commit it to your personal dance or yoga practice, nurture connections with loved ones, relax in your favorite sanctuary, volunteer for a local nonprofit organization, curl up with a good book, write a thank you note to someone you admire, or find a way to move towards your ...

Re: faux assuit melos
(in **Melodia Designs**)
Because they are slinky nylon, they also run longer than usual.
So, if you usually wear an M34, you could probably wear an M32 or even an S31, depending on your size, but an M34 would definitely be too long and might seem a bit roomy.

I've had a lot of fun trying in your brilliant contests this year!
I was happy to win the Perfect Crime contest with a story and picture.
The prize was a beautiful pair of ruffly turquoise SnakeArmz that were a bit too skinny for me to wear,...

Hmm, plums don't generally run tight.
You might have purchased Ls with an XL label.
My reds are a bit tight, one black pair is tight, one denim, the rest feel right.
