The Countdown Begins

I'm brimming with ideas and opinions and hopes and resolutions.

I want to make changes. I want to run my forearm over my world and erase it clean.

I want to start over. Jettison. Simplify. Re-evaluate. Set fires. Plant seeds. Stay home. Fly away....

Am I the only one who feels like this on the last day of December? Hopeful, afraid, excited? On the brink of 'differentness?' As though by just living through the next few hours I will cross a line and somehow be reinvented. 

One can always hope.

A (Rather Belated) Happy New Year!

I've meant to do this since Day One of the New Year and have been so busy that I've just plum forgotten! So here goes:

Big hugs and thankyous to YOU, my dear followers, for reading my words and sharing your thoughts here. Your continued support means the world to me, I hope you know. And writing to you is a pleasure. :)

And big welcomes to all who care to join us in the New Year! There's plenty of room here for you (yes, you!), so grab a Sit-Upon and get comfy, 'k?

A toast: To creative endeavors and camaraderie! And may 2012 not only meet our needs and make us smile but also be absolutely flocked with stars and fairy dust and wild imaginings.

Ready? Let's play!

I See You, Twenty-Twelve!

Here we GO!

The clock is ticking....

Right now it's the wee, little, pre-dawn hours of the last day of 2011.

And in my head I'm a million miles away in my imagination, planning Big Things for the New Year. Big Creative Things that are all MINE.

Big Things that involve stories and new products and more art and hopefully a little travel. Maybe some surprise endings and vague destinations. Perhaps even some (gasp!) COLOR. And definitely some stepping-outside-of-one's-comfort-zone.

These plans might just require an alias. And the addition of another personality or two. Or three. And maybe some mismatched stockings. And definitely a hat.... And an amulet.

And maybe even a traveling companion. Like a fox. Or an owl. Or a fox that IS an owl. One that wears a top hat and speaks in riddles and might be a foe or a friend or a faux friend or a fey friend, and only needs glasses when he reads....

Or she reads?

Who knows? Who wants to know? I want to know. I can't wait to know.

So here's to Big Plans. Here's to discovery!

Here's to the New Be-a-YOU-tiful Year.
