Today I want (and perhaps need) to talk a bit about friendship. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know."He was right.

In two days, Joe Biden will be POTUS. I can't wait. I saw today that Garth Brooks will be performing at the inauguration, and that he says it's a statement of unity.

Happy Solstice, y'all! And a Blessed Yule to all who celebrate. /|\ May the return of the light bring everything you need in order to thrive, and may your hearth always be warm and bright. I admit I am a fan of the waning half of the year over the waxing half but both have … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: December 21, 2020

Well, dear hearts, we're here! Still waiting on Hawaii's votes at 7pm EST, but they won't change anything. It's beautiful, isn't it?One more nail in the coffin of the terrible and strangely orange Trump era. Breathe. There is work to do. But first, breathe.
