Hope is a thing with feathers, That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all.-Emily Dickenson

2 Weeks

A lot can happen in two weeks.
  • A loss of life to suicide
  • 3 bereavement days from work
  • One massive hair cut
  • A ten hour visit to Florida; arrival time 8:30am, departure time 6:30pm
  • Amazing connections with marine wildlife; birds and dolphins and manatees, oh my!
  • One upper ear re-piercing, pierced by none other than me. Buddah now resides in my ear; The Buddha Listens.
  • The creation of 30 pairs of earrings, called Kelly's Grief Collection
  • Another loss of life, this one to old age
  • 3 more bereavement days from work
  • 30 more earrings; the second line of Kelly's Grief Collection
  • The taking up of a new hobby of running (more like jogging/walking/jogging/walking/walking /walking/joggi...no, walking)
  • An overnight retreat into the woods at Otter Creek with my boys
  • A 20 hour stay in West Virginia
  • A brief reconnect with a dear friend from high school
  • One amazing Everyone Loves Kelly party (click here for photos) hosted by two even more amazing friends
  • A new tattoo

To sum it all up... Loss and Love and a Life with many blessings even though they may be hard to see at times.

A big thanks to my many friends, some new and some not so new, some near and some not so near, who continue to help me stand.
