Nichole rocks my socks. I'm so glad I met her. She "gets" me in a way that not many people do, because we're so damn similar! Word nerds for life, yo. ;)
Nichole, thanks for being a member of my G-d Squad and a part of my life. :)

My best metroplex friend...now I can't imagine life without you. Glad we have bellydance in common now, in addition to everything else. ; )

Elle est magnifique! Smart, beautiful, and a rapier wit! She turned me on to Twisty and she keeps me laughing day in and day out! I'm so glad she is part of the belly dance community and one of my gal pals.
Here's my gift to you. Not only a testimonial, but a dirty word French dictionary! Mwah! www.notam02.no/~hcholm/al...ench.2.html

This has made the email rounds and is attributed to Maya Angelou, but I have my doubts about that (too lazy to reseach it). Anyway, especially as a future counselor, I'm not big on "shoulds," but I think these are pretty good.

As many of you can attest, I've been pretty nervous about my first performance. Alright, fine-- more like neurotic, obsessive, and scared shitless. (I owe several of you therapy session fees.) Anyway...

Finally, changes they are a-comin'. Or so it seems to a couple of my friends and me. We're each going through schtuff right now-- mini-breakdowns, personal crises. Unpleasant, but hopefully just growing pains bringing about something new and better. Why now, we have no idea. Is it the season?

I have been encouraged by a life verse of sorts since I found it (or it found me) six years ago:

"And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful that the risk it took to blossom." (Anaïs Nin)

It's in a frame on my bathroom wall.

That blossoming has been a slow, gradual process, the changes only really evident to those who knew me "before." Believe me, I was a real bitch-- and not in a good way. Closed off, unhappy, distant, bitter. Afraid, mostly. ... read more
