I was going to post some more Saints & Sinners festival pics today, but I think those will have to wait until I get back from The Priestess Gathering this weekend. This is too important. I've read a lot of articles on this, but this is the best so far. Frome the San Francisco Cronicle.

I noticed on my trip to New Orleans last weekend was that there wasn’t a lot of options available at the hotel for recycling or other things I might have done at home to leave a gentler footprint on my visit. That got me thinking. What things as responsible travelers can we do to be respectful guests when we are in a new place for a stay?

Well, this is it. The days of sun and fun have ended and I have to leave my time in New Orleans. I connected this weekend with people I’d never meet in person before, and will never forget. My PD family could not all be here, but the ones that were, the time with them meant everything to me. I will not say goodbye to them, or that I’ll miss them, I will simply say you remain in my heart and I will see you again soon.

Today was a great day, though a bit sad for me. I’ve meet so many people, Lara Z, Jolie, who I got to spend a great deal of time getting to know better. Linda and Barb, the crazy…ummm I mean wonderfully smart ladies who made me one of their PD family. Roselle and Allison, my roomies and the cutest couple ever. Larry and his partner Darrin, who are touched in the head the both of them, but in a very good way. I adore these guys!

Well, it’s about 5:30 when I sit down to write this, but I’ll continue making notes throughout the evening. Got to head to the Friday Night reception soon, but figured this was a good time to catch up on my day…

Okay, I didn’t get access to a connection until now at the hotel, so saved up my trip journaling. It was an interesting day, and I’m betting the evening will be no different.

I leave tomorrow on a plane to New Orleans for the Saints and Sinners Literary Festival. The plane leaves at six in the morning which means I need to be at the airport no later than four…blah. So, while I won’t be around much tomorrow, and the business part of the trip being networking and learning how to promote Ancestral Magic when it comes out this fall through PD Publishing, I thought I’ve leave you with some sneak peeks in the form of a few quotes/lines/paragraphs/sections from Ancestral Magic.

Sometimes you just got to say it. “Life sucks!” Four days before I leave for my trip to New Orleans I end up with an eye infection in my right eye. Figures. I should have known things were going too smoothly. Now I get to look like a dork in my glasses with all the attractive lesbians and bi women around at the con (not to mention the pain and the horrible looking red eye). I have to take the gentamicin 4 times a day for who knows how long (the clinic doc says about 5 days, pharmacist says 5-7 days or a day after the symptoms disappear, and an eye doc friend says no less than 7-10 days…) I could sure use some energy to clear this up quickly, and some advice on things to try to help the healing along. :(
Okay, I’ve been spend extra time with the kidlets this week, since I am leaving on the 8th for new Orleans and next week is heavy packing/planning. We’ve been playing outside and stuff, but also watching some of their favorite movies. I have to admit what I like best about the Disney, Pixar, Fai, etc… movies are really the songs. I thought this week I’d shave some of my favs. Keep in mind most of these are only the animated ones, save some good ole Henson fun.

I’ve been writing all this time on Primal Magic, but my beta’s been a bit busy…this means no edits. So, instead of making you wait, here is the word count as if chapter 11 (which I just finished) and an excerpt from chapters 2 and 3. I hope ya’ll enjoy the taste.

I’m a bit torn on the issue of hair removal. My eyebrows are bushier than I’d like, so I admit to having those waxed on occasion. Yeah, it’s a vanity thing, it's silly I know. I’m not sure on the leg waxing issue (I never do my yoni area, though if I had a gal with a preference I might), since I never wax/shave my legs in the winter, though with all the cons this summer (and the treat of swimming suit season) its something I’ve debated. If I was going to get a bit of waxing in, and with the thoughts of being environmentally friendly while doing it, I would use this…

Since I joined
Okay, news is I’ve started on the sequel to Ancestral Magic and gotten back my first round of edits from my beta reader. I thought it might be fun to post an excerpt after each chapter I finish. This time I have 5 chapters to choose from so I think chapter 1 will be the one I take the clip from. If folks enjoy it, I might try to do a small clip of the others as I wait for edits for chap 6. I like ya’ll too much to force you to read the chapters pre-first edits ;)

Today in middle and high schools across America kids are choosing to take a partial or full day of silence in remembrance in kids like Lawrence King. On February 12th Lawrence King, a 15-year-old student from California, was shot and killed in his own school by a 14-year-old classmate. Why? Because of King’s sexual orientation and gender expression.
