Break on Through to the Other Side

Good morning! I woke this morning like it was a sort of Christams--I couldn't wait to figure out what to bring to scan! Ha-ha! I do feel like the world's energy towards you fluxuates, contracting and expanding, depending on your own energy. The world has kind of exploded this morning in little events. Like how at 6:15 this morning, I sat writing at the kitchen table, when what should I see? A little mouse! EEEEEEEEEEK! I wish I didn't get immediately like a cartoonish woman, who yelps and pulls up her skirt at the sight of a mouse--but I CAN'T HELP IT. I don't want a mouse in my kitchen! I went to the bedroom where Graham was asleep and told him about our new roommate and he said, "Summer, it's NEW YORK. Of course we have a mouse." Waaah.

THEN I heard it's going to rain for the next coupe of days, which is so inspiring to me. I love LOVE the rain--perfect for creativity!

THEN I get in this morning and there you all are, saying the nicest things on the planet. The blood had already returned to my cheeks, but it made me want to give the internet a GIANT HUG. You guys rule--WE ALL RULE. Sally Jane just graduated! Kerstin just moved to the US! There is lots of change and accomplishment afoot!

So today I offer you Alice Walker, Miss February 2006! This is the fourth calendar I have created. It is an absolute labor of love. As you can see from February's days page, there is a birthday EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR:

It has taken a lot of reasearch. In the past there were a few days here and there where I could not find birthdays, so I made up holidays. Like for this year today is Go See a Movie By Yourself Day. In 2006, I actually managed to fill every single day. So the made up holidays went by the wayside.

Posting these pictures is so inspiring to me--I feel like I have broken through to the otherside. I'm a very visual person, so having these up makes me feel like I really do a lot of work and I am alive like everyone else. Lots of answered hope to all of you too out there.
