I got my computer back on the first day of my second year as a deviant. How appropriate.

I'm swamped with new things. Great things. There are now 2 "Taking Flight" groups. I can't think of anything better I'd like to do with my time. Another friend wants to do it, so we are watching for who would be the third person to meet along with her. I may eventually take this to the Hobby Lobby classroom, for bigger groups to meet. But "Taking Flight" right now is intimate. We share from the deepest things in our hearts, and pray for each other, while we are together, and then throughout the week. When we are together, we go on to make art, and talk as we go. It is awesome.

I have in the back of my mind that the others may each lead one other group of three people, while still keeping on with their original group. In a short time, there could be MANY of these going on.

If anyone is interested in more details, because you might want to try it in your kitchen, [or wherever] note me, or ask me somewhere.

I still treasure my time around our computers, where I have shared so much this past year, through dA connections.

Now I do seriously plan to spend shorter visits in dA, at least for a few weeks. I have to get ready for an exhibit and then a big fund-raiser. The fund-raiser already has 400 people on board, and it may grow to a capacity of 600.

I hope to scan some of the things I have made during my...

... "Taking Flight" parties ... It is great to be back.
