It is that time again. Time to add my voice to the many who have already contributed their blog posts for today at least to Mimi’s yearly BlogBlast for Peace.
The recent news of the teen suicides, although I’m sure many more have gone unnoticed by the media over the years, has broken my heart. We have lived too long in a world filled with cruelty and violence when parents and educators just accept the harassment, bullying and torture as normal kid behavior. It’s not normal kid behavior. It’s wild animal behavior. It’s the pack mentality that in nature culls the weak or sickly from the herd and has been somehow assimilated by humanity to cull the different and unique. The children who don’t fit the demographic. Who is teaching these children, these bullies, to hate? To prey on these gay kids? Their parents- society. It breaks my heart. So today in honor of the BlogBlast for Peace I ask you to:
This October has Thornie busier than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs!!! Along with my usual Fall Cleaning (the subject of a TT in 2007), this year I’m rockin’ n rollin’ with a few other projects. Here goes:
1) Cleaning and decorating my Ancestor Altar for the coming Holidays:
2) Making Stained Glass to sell at my Etsy Store:
3) Brewing up some special Magickal Bath Salts:
4) Getting Firewood (The hot, sweaty, red faced image of Thorne is NOT going here!)
5) Filling sandbags and digging trenches to keep the doghouses and cellar and kitchen porch from flooding.
6) Getting super excited about NaNoWriMo!
7) Shooting some of my Vintage goodies and trying to find good homes for them:
"Whoooo are you?", The caterpillar asked Alice.
"Why, I'm not quite sure at the moment, Sir. You see, I knew who I was when I got up this morning, but I must have changed a thousand times since then."
Before you buy a companion parrot please understand that only 10% of your bird is pretty. The other 90% is noisy, messy, moody, jealous and downright painful at times. Before you spend big bucks on that 10% pretty, make sure you understand the 90% you get for free!!
