So much has happened, I can’t tell all of you yet what’s been going on, but thanks to my guardian angels, I’m still here…I’m going to be “leaving” this blog and opening one I’ve been mentioning here and there and when it’s up and running and I’m ready to post, I will give all of you the blog link if you’re interested. I see it in my mind up and running no later than the end of Feb. but probably sooner as I miss talking to all of you. .If you’re still checking here to see that I’m alive and have written to me personally, thank you for being truly loyal. I know I haven’t been visiting your blogs, replying to your emails, blogging myself, etc…and I’m sorry I haven’t written sooner. It’s been taking a Herculean effort to just hang on. There’s moments of light, but the darkness looms large as a towering wall of ice and while I’m learning to become fiercer and how to survive new landscapes, I’m hunkering down for now. Soon, though I will return and I pray that 2012 will bless you all with courage, faith and joy, because as the House Stark says; “Winter is Coming” and we all need to gather close together to face the cold and revel in the warmth of each other.
I won’t ever take this blog down, the girls still want their say on life and believe me, they have a LOT to say!

You are like the faithful beacon, not just for me, Debra but for all of your friends in the blogosphere. I really appreciate your concern and well wishes and the girls can’t wait to read more about HRH….meows to everyone there.
Glad to have you back! It’s both hard to blog when things are rough and yet, things appear not so bag when you’re blogging, so I’m glad you are going to start your new blog. Please send me the link!
I don’t know how you’ve managed to keep blogging so consistently Aine with all the moving etc…going on and I haven’t even started the actual physical move yet. Would love to hear any advice you have. A witchy way to move? ; )
Can you see me doing a happy dance?! You are BACK, Wendy — YEAH! And yeah for a new blog, too. Of course, I want the link once it’s up and running.
You have been in my thoughts so very often. I enjoyed wearing your peppermint earrings during the holiday season. (In fact, I still enjoy wearing them — hah!)
Take good care!
Much love
and a huge welcome back hug,
your friend
Birgit
I swear I thought of your earrings and you wearing them Birgit and on some really gloomy days, the image made me smile of Rapunzel wearing her peppermints. I’ll definitely catch up with you with more info. later. So glad you like your earrings and thank you for the warm welcome return.
Looking forward to reading your new adventures. Hugs to you and the kittys.
It’s so good to catch up w/ friends Abi. I’m off to visit your blog and see all the latest goings on with your furry children and dolls.
Wendy my dear, I have been expecting an email telling me you are here in NM. I am kinda disappointed that you aren’t coming, but happy that you don’t have to uproot yourself…that is an assumption. I can hardly bare to wait to find out what is happening. Oma LInda

Hi Ms. Flora McFlimsey (If you don’t know who she is, look her up in children’s books. I think you’ll love her if you don’t know her yet.) Thanks for the well wishes and life goes on as long as there’s friends and cats!
Wendy! *hug* I’ve been thinking about you quite a bit and am happy to see you peek in to say hello. I’m looking forward to your new blog and,as always, to the girls opinions on life, the universe and everything in it. xoxo
Hugs right back to ya, Danni girl : ) Slowly but surely, I’m making my way back into blogland, but the girls always have something to say, you know how it is…
So VERY good to hear from you! :0) Been thinking about you and hoping that everything is going well. ♥ And Gomez is hoping your two lovely Girlz are doing well.
thank you Jeanne and of course to the indubitable Mr. Gomez, we’re all doing fine, well the girls are what kept me going and keep on keepin’ on!
Hooray! Finding a comment on my blog from you and a post over here made my day. I’ve been checking every so often to see if you’d come back. I’ve been worried about you! Soooo glad you’re alive and well. Can’t wait for the new blog to start.
Hi Stacy,
I’s be worried about me too, but I used up one of my 9 lives and still am finding my feet, but I did land on all four paws
Oh I wish I had some good advice on moving, but the move was torturous, actually. We had movers but they took much much longer to do EVERYTHING than planned and the price was – ready? FIFTY PERCENT more than the quote. We drove with the car here (3 days) and it POURED every single moment of the trip. Then I got a PT job which was the JOB FROM HELL. I kept looking for the candid camera guys. That’s when I did not have time to blog or time to do anything else. I quit it after 6 weeks and been blogging again more regularly, decided to finally really truly finish the book and so that’s what I’m doing. I’ve moved many times, but this one was the most exhausting and frustrating, although I love my new place. Just pack as much as you can early so that you don’t leave everything until the end, and mark all the boxes according to the room they should go in so that they are not all over the new place….If I can think of some magical solutions, I will let you know!
Wendy – I have been checking up on you and was confident that you would be back when the time was right. My step-daughter gave me “The Alchemist” for Christmas and I imeadiately thought of you and sent you a silent message of strength…
I know you love cats – my book is finally out and I think you would really like it. I went through a very difficult time a couple years ago due to some personal stuff and a layoff. My cats taught me some amazing lessons and not only got me through the emotional turmoil, they caused me to follow my dreams and write the book!!
Blessings to you and I look forward to your new blog.
