Happy New Year!!

Hope everyone had a stunning new years eve!! I spent it with some friends in the lower east side, where we rang in 2013 at the Motor City Bar in true Detroit style. Here's to 2013 being exponentially better than 2012.

Stormy spent her NYE doing the same thing she always does,
napping.

merry yule to all!

Happy Winter Solstice to everyone! Let's hope this day marks the dawn of a new age for us all.

I'm celebrating with (vegan) dirty rice, some tasty apples, & my trusty maple candle (smells sooooo good). Stormy & I got our hands on some evergreens to dress up the apartment a bit.

Because miss Stormy is an incredibly spoiled cat, she received lots of presents... a new collar (with roses on it!), some treats, a special red snapper cat food feast, & a catnip filled chili pepper. 

The chili pepper was the clear favourite. 

(I have several dozen photos of her going crazy with this thing. I love my cat.)

Merry Midwinter!

blessed be, virgin of guadalupe

The Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin in 1531 for three days, culminating in today, The Blessed Day of The Virgin of Guadalupe. Pope John Paul II named her the "Patroness of The Americas" in 1999.

Today is a day to celebrate life, the coming light of the spring, and the blessings of the sacred mother.

Blessed be.
