~:: Big Balloons ::~

Okay.  This is why I haven’t been journaling: I don’t know when to stop.  I am not moderate.  I cannot help myself. So this is long. But it’s mostly pictures, so you don’t have to work too hard to get … Continue reading

~:: Brave ::~

I haven’t written anything on a blog or in a journal for weeks.  I’ve been self-publishing like a crazy person, and now I have all the book promotion to figure out.  I HATE being behind like this, and being out … Continue reading
