Glad to see you back her...Hi, Tess--Happy New Year! Glad to see you back here post-holidays.... How sorry I am about the loss of your friend, though. I didn't know her personally, but knew of her. She was a bright spark that will be sorely miss... Many thanks for the warm welcome back to blogland. And I was gone so long-- LOL! Perhaps I should claim a woman's prerogative?! No... I think I just needed a real break--I was burned out, not feeling great, my spiritual life is VERY much affecting my creative life and that's been harder to share at times for the present at least... so much! But it's good to be back. Blogland is the best place--and I missed it while I was away. Glad to visit with you here now. Making the rounds this week. I was offline a lot at Christmas--too much fun & feasting! ;o) Wishing you heart's content, creative fulfillment and much more--and happy times with your sweet family--in 2015!

It was such a tragic thing to read about over the holidays through various other fans of hers. It was strange to read her final blog post, already a year old and know that she is no longer there. <br /><br />Thank you for visiting my blog.
