Hello my friends. Wow is there alot going on right now!
I wanted to drop in and say hi. Not to promote or sell or anything. Just a quick hellow.
I kind of have a sore throat and yucky gut. Think a bug might have moved in for a few days.
My house is still not done. Almost, but we had to fire the last contractor and bring in a few new people to get the final punchlist. It's been since July 7th that my house has been open to strangers and had owies all over it.
Cloe's teeth are STILL being worked on. We have had to give her 3 top front tooth root canals. We are finally at the permanent filling stage. Then in four years, we go in for not only braces to put one of the teeth where it goes as it wasn't put back all the way, but to have the other two completely reshaped as the epoxy used right now is only temporary.
The thing in my cheek isn't going away. Since the injections, it has shrunk, in fact my cheek sags a bit on the left due to having removed the swelling and losing mass where the tumor thing is. But now the skin is super sensitive and breaks out in little rashy bumps constantly. ESPECIALLY if I try to cover it up. Which sucks because it is a nasty color right now. It looks...bruised and dead and irritated all at once.
On another fun note, seems like they're at it again. Those lovely ladies who like to twist stories, gossip, create conspiracy theories and in general, build relationships with others based on being mean and nasty and instilling fear. The rumor mill is all abuzz.
But of coarse it is, Faeriecon is coming and it always happens this time of year it seems. I also notice it is always started by and fueled by the same people. Which says that to take those people seriously at this point is silliness.
I do have to say, that no matter how clean one keeps their nose clean in this industry, unless you stay completely out of the circut and hermit into your hole, the nasty people will try to do something to make themselves feel better and hopefully bring a few down in the process.
Envy and insecurity create some pretty rotten gardens of shite if ya know what I mean. Fortunatly I have found myself talking with very few people these days and the ones I do know are very kind and very professional and live above that type of immature political crap.
Finally, my husband and I are trying to get out to Oregon. The Colorado thing has been wonderful, but I've decided that if I'm going to age, it best be in a moist environment that preserves the skin, rather than this arid dry place that plays havoc with everyone's lungs and dries us out like Spongebob on land.
Been working very hard. Trying to create a community where people work together to create joint success. I believe that by helping others to succeed it helps me to as well. But more than that, it keeps our industry alive and vibrant and moving in a positive direction of hope that there will be "more where that came from" in the future. With this insane "reality" the world is living into, I'm seriously working harder than ever to shape my reality and anyone else's into the most successful and positive I can. I do my best.
If you ever want to work together and think there is a project that seems realistic, please let me know. Pooling fan base right now is a good way to cross promote and is a wonderful marketing tool.
Much love to you my friends. Please, keep the faith and stay positive. Try not to be too hard on people, the world is a real pain in the ass right now and it's hard enough to just wake up and see the tv or internet without having the un-neccessary petty drama that some of those would like to persue.
Don't worry about the small stuff. Trust your instincts, not your emotions. Give your friends, family and co-workers extra love right now. It's so necessary. Be kind and good to each other and above all...believe you can fly.
Peace out,
L
