Yo….
i know i know.. it’s been awhile. What kind of excuse or explaination can I give except that I’m full of the joys of life, which is good.. no bother there… and I’m experiencing love in all its’ glory.. that’s got to be good as well…though, ya know..this year, love really took me by surprise. I had held back for so long ( and for good reasons, too.. fear being number one.. and incompatibility being a close second.. anyway) Now I’m here in its lap and well..
I’m lapping it up…
And there is much afoot with yours truly…. Still fighting the good fight ( jaysus if there is such a thing- often I’m lead to believe that the good fight is with myself.. ( read:EGO) nevertheless, I can with much conviction state that.. I’m winning! (read: EGO)
Life in auld Drumshanbo is sweet as ever a sweet could be. There was no snow this Christmas and a fantastic turn out to the annual Santa Underground at the Agrina Mining Experience where i put on a brave face ( read:HANDS) and took my talents back to puppet-land.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself there… Oh I do love the puppets.. I do like it indeed … candy for the middle aged. So much so, I’ve requested an audition with the Belfast Jim Henson Company
( can’t remember their name.. Sixteen.. something.. – a jeez , ya know me mind… with any luck I’ll get a gig before they read my blog ).. and so wouldn’t that be a a delightful road to take.Nothing like work! Puppets for ME.
Now speaking of roads there a slight but very probable possibility that I’ll be winging my way to Bali in the up-coming future to play at the biggest and loudest night club with my newly formed, but ancient strands of brilliant musicians from lovely Leitrim ….
( we be called The MAD ROVERS and why not..) Mind you, its all talk at this point,
however if ye have a little faith, a small wish or a sacrifice to the Gigging Gods, we’ll be singing in the St Patrick in a hotter climate yet!
My writing is going well.. yah yah you say.. eileen its been going well for years.. but where’s
DA BOOK???
I have it.. well very close.. sure that point is , that I’m really enjoying writing this and oh we’re so close to the end of the first book ( !) (hahah)…like…. oh you don’t know. And seeing as there hasn’t been any publishing deals screaming at my front door to have this little gem of a read…well be-god.. I’m taking my time.. I’m not doing anything else anyway. It’s great waking up thinking about the these character and the story and whats’ HAPPENING now. I’d give you a sample but I have this very fragile computer that’s older that some children I’m best friends with and we- she just doesn’t have the memory to download anything at the moment. Which is why I don’t have a cool picture up at the start of this much belated post.
anyway… ……………….we go on……………..I’ve hung up my teaching boots………….. . hard.. oh.. you don’t know hard till you walk away from your bread and butter , your spice of life and the profound blessing that come with working with the Extraordinary Needs. Still something has to move to let more come through.
And that… dear readers ( all four or five of you..! I think.. I dunno.. I still can’t fiquire out how to check who clicks on to this. if it wasn’t for Toni at TanDao in New York ( soorry my dear couldn’t link you this time.. darn machine.. uhhh blessed machine !) I wouldn’t have the foggiest notion who actually read this, except for the spam I get ( and thank you but no thank you )
October seems miles away. There has been a great amount of forward progress in my patterns of living. A huge hello to the group that marked the end of the Mayan calender in Killkenny. My feet have only recently recovered. My higher self continues to sit outside the top step ya know what I mean)
Now.. as for my seasonal hangover… well why stop here? Ok I’ll tell you why.. I have to go the a New Year’s Eve eve party with my bioyfriend.. (yuck yuck yuck- oh gad… hope his sister doesn’t read this) ah shure fuck.. its all good. And I have devilled eggs to create.
ZOOOOOOOOOOOOO
look .. I’m off
bless you……..BLESS US ALL
