Hello there, lovelies!  I hope things are just smashing in your part of the world.

I'm sorry I've been so quiet lately, here and elsewhere online.  About a month ago I had a bit of unnecessary interwebz drama that made me a little weary of sharing so much of my life online.  I have been blogging for years and years and I've made friends with many people, some who are just as valuable to me as folks I know in "real life".  One of my most treasured friendships is with someone I met online many years ago, so it has been really hard for me to decide if I honestly did want to stop blogging.  Rather than completely abandoning my online world I have decided that for now, this blog shall be my only one.  I still have my other (more personal blog, so I won't reveal it here), and perhaps one day I'll return to it, but for now, I just cannot.  I hope all of you that follow me from over there can understand.  <3

In other news, not much else is new around here since I last vlogged.  (Thanks for watching, by the way!)  I am still doing the same things - crocheting, cooking, reading, writing (not as much as I would like) and spending time with the man I love.  My life may not be exciting, but it's a happy one, for the most part, and I'm thankful for it.

The only slightly exciting thing to happen to me in the last couple of weeks has been that I went and got my nipples pierced with my brother in law's girlfriend last night.  I wanted to do them for a very long time, I just could never get up the balls to do it and then of course, it wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated.  I'm happy with them and cannot wait till they heal so the real fun can begin.  ;-D

It had been a while since I'd gotten any type of modification, so it was nice to indulge in something that I get so much fulfillment from.  Hopefully one of these days in the not to distant future I can add more to my tattoo sleeve as well.  I guess part of the fun is the process leading up to it, but I'm not very good at being patient sometimes.

Also, I have reopened myself up to a faith that I had a strong connection to as a young teenager and I'm beyond thrilled that it speaks to me even more now.  I won't speak about my faith much here because I firmly believe that religion/spirituality should be an intensely personal and private thing.  My communication with Deity needn't involve anyone but us.  I will say though, that it has been extremely satisfying to reconnect with something that jives pretty well with everything I have always believed about the Universe and the powers that exist within, both human, Earthly and divine.  I'm only sad that I allowed it to fall to the wayside all those years ago because I could have been feeling this connection for so much longer, but I guess now is all that really matters.

I've written a couple pieces lately that I am reasonably proud of, but they involve my journey into finding my faith, and I'm not quite sure if I am comfortable showing them to the world just yet since I really feel it should be a private thing.  Maybe one day I will share, but for now I'm content to leave them within the pages of my journal.

Well, I guess that's really all I've got to say for now.  Hopefully one day soon I will have written something less private and more suited for posting here because that's the whole reason I started this blog, afterall.  Until then, take care of yourselves and love one another.
