In the past few weeks my life has taken some interesting turns.  My son turned 12 yesterday.  My mother (who is 500 miles away and almost 78) fell a week ago and is still working to figure out all that's broken.   While I know I can only be in one place at a time in the physical world, I feel disconnected, struggling to make choices that will benefit the needs of all the people in my life.

My Ebay store, usually full of hundreds of lovely fantasy collectibles, is down to some great items for our summer sale, and will close for "summer vacation" tomorrow, Monday, July 7.   I'm taking some time off to concentrate on writing, blogging and bringing some magic back into my own life.

If anyone knows of events in the Virginia region, please let me know.  I need to recapture the fun and connection to the earth live events provide.  I'm even more excited to be participating as an attendee and not a vendor.  When you carry responsibilities for many in the real world, it makes it even more fun to escape to the faerie realm when the opportunity arises.

Thanks to everyone who has visited this site, befriended me, commented and messaged.  I look forward to getting to know everyone more as the months move forward.

May the stars twinkle brightly on you tonight,

Bonnie
