Prayers for Idaho

The air is heavy, pregnant with smoke.  So heavy, in fact, you can almost taste the smell of smoke and ash.  The sky overcast with the evidence of the fires plaguing Idaho.  Are we on the news out there?  Does anyone outside of Idaho know?  Does anyone care?  A few years ago when Colorado was on fire, there was a big movement to sell T-Shirts where the funds went to help the displaced and to help the fire operations.  I bought one...Is anyone selling T-shirts for Idaho?  Just wondering...I haven't seen any.

I shared this picture before...It was taken from right outside a friends subdivision.  Thankfully, that fire was contained before it became even more of a threat to their family home.  

I'm not complaining...really...I'm just asking for prayers for Idaho and for the fire fighters...

The Sassy Pelican

Isn't that the cutest name ever?  The Sassy Pelican?  My mom makes some pretty unique jewelry that she offers for sale online the Sassy Pelican She grew up in Southern California, and a lot of her pieces have a beach flare.  

What do you think of this one?  

Being the daughter of the designer, I get first dibs...I really liked this one, but it sold too fast for even me...

Why don't you stop by her website, http://www.thesassypelican.com and support a small business, one woman show.  She is quite the artisan...

Maybe I should talk her into doing a giveaway to drum up some business...

Tell me what you think of her designs?  

And, thanks for stopping by...

Echoes of Humor

Source

"What if I were to disappear from the blogging world?  Would I truly be missed?  Would you hear the echoes of my humor in the wind, or would life go on as normal.  My guess is that life, for you, would go on as normal.  For me, not so much."

I wrote this a long while back, before my great disappearing act from the blogging world.  It sat in my drafts as the beginning of a post that never took shape.  It's like prophetic, you know?  Haha, but truly, my life has not been normal as of late.

I plan to share a bit of that in the near future.  Glad I still have some friends out there, I think...

The Great Disappearing Act

Source

Once upon a time, I was an avid writer and reader.  But, alas, life took over and I let a hobby and passion give.  It was a sad time for me, I lost a love and an outlet and some dear friends.

I've had some major life changes in the past year.  While, my blogging/public life has dwindled, my personal life took off and the busyness was consuming.

I don't know if anyone is still out there waiting and holding their breath to read the words that pour forth from my fingers, but I feel a pull to reconnect.

Recently my husband answered questions on a quiz about me.  He said my best talent was writing, and here I haven't been writing or doing anything of the such for quite some time...I guess I better brush up on those writing skills.

If you are still there and wish to hear more from me, That's What She Said... and my thoughts and chronicles, please give a shout out so I know you are there.  I think I need all the thoughts and encouragement I can get as I re start this here thing...

I'll be seeing more of you, I hope...
