"Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules" Only I hear it as - Torn between two platforms, feelin' like a tool Posting (on) both of you is breakin' all the...

Paging Doctor Gregory House! Is there a Dr House in the house?
Yes, I'm paging Dr House! First, though after I read all the amazingly wonderful comments on my post yesterday (Itβs the final update (regarding my breast cancer concern)!) I felt like a jerk. I didn't mean to lead anyone on, but it didn't even occur to me that the post would come across as, "YAY!... Continue Reading →
It’s the final update (regarding my breast cancer concern)!
Here's the final, never-before-seen (except January 18th, when I posted it on my Steemit blog *grin*), installment of my blog series about my breast cancer scare over the summer. When I first started putting this post together, I was still doing some heavy and happily legal drugs recovering from surgery, and I got lazy about... Continue Reading →
Resolving to take a Steem-y break for January
Happy New Year! via GIPHY Since this is traditionally the day for starting resolutions, I figured it was wicked perfect for one of my own. First, a bit of backstory I've been running the Ello Pagans page since October 2016, after the uber-talented Terry kindly asked me to take over. At some point over there,... Continue Reading →

Mostly Wordless Monday – Be Kind to Yourself in the Year Ahead
Last year, I revamped a Neil Gaiman New Year's Wish graphic I'd created the year before. For this year's quoto, I'm going with this wish from 2014, and pairing it with a crow photo from Valentine's Day 2017 - "Be kind to yourself in the year ahead. Remember to forgive yourself, and to forgive... Continue Reading →
Mostly Wordless Monday β Marianne Williamson Ego Quoto

Mostly Wordless Monday – Words Quote by Diane Setterfield
I created a different version of this graphic for the National Day on Writing in 2015. Since it's been a couple years, I thought I'd spruce it up a bit. I took this picture in October 2015 - it has my journal, athame, and pen, placed on a granite stone the woods behind our house... Continue Reading →
Mostly Wordless Monday – My Boru Vodka & Ice Cream Drink Recipe
Back when all my crazy health problems started, I mentioned I'd come up with a favorite summer drink recipe. I've finally put together a graphic for this so-simple-I-hesitate-to-call-it-a-recipe recipe. Side note: while I mention brand names, it's only because they are my favorite, not because I'm being compensated in any way (other than good karma,... Continue Reading →
Not So Wordless Monday – a breakdown of my body’s breakdown
Back at the beginning of October, my body decided that torturing me with the whole possible cancer thing was so much fun, it didn't want to stop. But rather than directly dangle the worry of the big C in front of me, it decided to play coy, to the point that all these weeks later,... Continue Reading →
Mostly Wordless Monday – Love Writing quote by Ray Bradbury
NOTE: Now that my ophthalmologist determined my vision issues are situational and not a sign of impending blindness, I'm feeling much better about being at my keyboard. However, since the blurriness still makes screen time challenging (and triggers headaches), I'm going to be scarce for a bit longer. I do have a ridiculously detailed health... Continue Reading →
