So Many Posts….So Little Time….

It feels SO good to be back and I am SOOOO glad I am out of the hospital, but this week has made me realize that I am far from 100%  There are SOOOO many things that I would love to blog right now, but it seems like I just cannot get things moving as quickly as I would like. ...

Good to be Back!

I just spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital. It was horrible. I hope I never have to do that again. I have spent the last week or so seeing different docs and adjusting meds. It has been NO fun. The whole time I just wanted to feel good enough to blog. SO....now I do...and I have been thinking and ...

5 things to pay before the money runs out

I've been quiet the past two months, which is mainly attributed to a much-needed holiday vacation and subsequent stressful getting-back-into-work period. All this is complicated by the fact that El's currently staying in the hospital, but hopefully will be out again sometime this week. Anyway, as you can imagine, there wasn't much time to do anything productive, so I don't ...

Kandy and Victory Modan

For those of you that have followed my blog for very long at all, you will know that I model hair for Ali & Alli.  This CUTE little updo is one of their newest releases aptly named Kandy.  When Alice gave us the hair she simply asked for "something sweet" . . .and I can see why.  I LOVE the ...

3 of a Kind – Jeans

A few weeks ago, as I was looking through the feeds and flickr photostreams I came across a pic of an avi . . .just a simple pick.  The picture showed an avi in casual clothes, various poses but all together and I had a thought . . .perhaps I should start a category in my blog where I shot ...

Siss Boom, Eclectica and R2 Fashion

I was going to do a Q&D for this post . . .I PROLLY should have done a Q&D (Quick and Dirty) for this post, but I once again became so enamored with it once it was done, that I just HAD to talk about it a little.  There are SO many things about it that are SO pretty. It has ...

Ever an’ Angel

Don't you hate it when people aren't nice? Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes it seems like some people just want to be hateful and don't give two squats about what others want or need, or what is right or wrong. They live on the “me” level. And I find that SO disconcerting. It is NOT that I have never “visited” that ...

Donna Flora A to Z C is for Cerry

   Several years ago, when I was just a little bitty avi, I stumbled upon a shop named Donna Flora.  I still do not remember how I found it.  It was probably through one of the numerous groups that I am a part of...always looking for a bargain.  But I remember looking around and thinking that I had found THE ...

To the last year

by V | 0 » | Jan2 12
  We buried you in tiredness Within the glassy water hall Where you, forever yesterday Shall wave at our daily stress. We soldier on, from time to time For nothing more, and even less You dwell within our mind enshrined While we, eternally, progress. And rest, and what we'll never find We all have long since left behind And all we see is from afar How long you've been, how tired we ...

all time is hollow

by V | 0 » | Nov29 11
I greet you under velvet skies The hard and heightened field of blue I get it from your valiant eyes From which I will remember you. And when my empty soul gets shallow My cold body is out-stressed Please wake for me and all that's hallow And put my weary thoughts to rest. Forever in these eyes, forever In the tight and tender skies There is our scent, our breath ...

Curiousity

by V | 0 » | Sep28 11
I don't know if I'll burn tonight, And of what difference would it be? There's cinder in my throat and there is Nothing else to see. I do not always think aloud. And when the tired bell resounds The night away and follows me. I'm not the wind, I am the cloud. How all we ever walk together Endlessly upon a hill We find a morn we wind forever Endlessly reborn. And ...

For all there is to be

by V | 0 » | Sep28 11
And everything will be alright. Well, who am I to say it will? It might just make you sleep at night, And afterwards be bitter still. Yet everything will be okay, Not that I could just make it so, Or by declaring, it will go And make the sorrow go away. But everything will be just fine. At least for me, at least what's mine, At least within this fragile ...

Nothing final breaks the bow

by V | 0 » | Aug16 11
What's black is black, and then,descending Like on a dream the sleep does come And cuts through lacy eyelids, rending The rest from night, and rest from some. And grey on grey the eyelids mutter The beating heart knows not of peace And fear and panic-stricken splatters In corresponding shades of these. While in the air, cald and frothenious The damp and distant star-pins soar The breath it bears no ...

Written on the shores of sleep

by V | 0 » | Aug16 11
With all the probability of flight And all the rar'ty of delight With our transparency alight We sight the shining sea And while we anecdotally align And interchangeably entwine While into density we sign We find the failing seal So now this intercourse will become right With certain series in full bright We travel unendingly wide The great divide, A single sight.

the night

by V | 0 » | May26 10
the night We sprawl through half-deserted streets The silent moonlight showering The quiet night air lowering We crawl where hollow nightshades lead We chase an empty mile around And while I am the heathen king For you, you are my evening And call to me without a sound Until we radiate in light Invisible, and out of sight You whisper to me, blossoms bright I smile at you; you are my night.

walk unafraid

walk unafraid As I was cast upon the sands Away, out on this dreary shore It was but for your healing hands That I could walk the dream once more & all that I have been before Was foamy surf upon the sea & what the future held in store Was ever more seen blearily Across the endless leagues though we Have wandered change eternally Through all the centuries we reap Our ...

the sleep

the sleep To the fire, and the flame And the star that bears your name To be whole, one and the same In the everlasting game. There we meet, time and again In the soft september rain Where the day is free of strain And the words have lost their stain. There we cross the great divide There we let our souls collide There we wander side by side And we fly, ...

the sky

by V | 0 » | Jan19 10
the sky And the space, and the sky And the stars in your eye And the universe passing us by Are the canvas, and screens Of our hopes and our dreams And the watery, silver-lined schemes. And we hold, and we feel Every word that is real Every fiery flame-tongued ordeal Wil just lead us into What we already knew: You're in me, and I am inside you. So we dance through infinities, Press ...
