Day 29, Ooo...Masterpiece theater...30 Day Writing Challenge.

Well, I must say, once again Masterpiece Theater, the USA's way of showing British television drama's that have already aired the previous season in the UK, does not disappoint.  Poldark, a revived version of the show from the 1970's (I read that somewhere), has had new life breathed into it.  I was pulled in from the first scene. 
 
I love a good underdog story and I can't wait to immerse myself into this one.  So many good period drama's on TV now....I feel like I am in heaven.  Thank you, UK, for creating good programming (oh and our American Producers that spawned another show I wrote about early on in this challenge.  No, you have not been forgotten). 
 
Special thanks to my dear dear friend Michelle, who gave me the heads up on this one about two months ago.  For that long I have waited for this show to start and again, not disappointed.  Also, thank you to my pals, The Sligh Family, who reside outside of London, for filling in details, not spoilers, about this show.  They enjoyed it when it aired, so I know it will continue to be promising. 
 
Okay, so this really isn't the typical blog and that is because I have been up since 4am and I am tired.  On the Brightside, I googled 'Fortnight'.  Now I know what it is and I can say that a fortnight from tomorrow, I will be off for several days and enjoying myself back in my hometown of San Diego, attending Comic Con. WOO HOO!
 
I think I might use fortnight more. If nothing else, it will raise eyebrows. haha!
 
Until tomorrow...get some sleep.

Sissy Jo....

Well, it goes without saying that the days leading up to Comic Con were anything but non-emotional.  Is that even a word?  Seriously, my mind lately. Sissy Jo, one of the three girls I call my soul sister, passed away on June 29th, her funeral was held two days before we left for Comic Con. Admittedly, this reminded me, as well, of mama being sick last year during Comic Con, so of course our 8th trip to the 'Con', was a little bluer than I think we had hoped, but we did manage to have a good time, because we know that is what Jo would have wanted.  As we all know you can't make the pain just disappear, or the sadness that comes with losing someone so important and special to your life.  As anyone could tell you, JoAnn was a force to be reckoned with, a little whirlwind of organization, love and smiles.  She loved many who were in her path and she taught us lessons of survival, never giving up and fighting the good fight. I me...

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

Day 8 of 30 days of gratitude.

Today I dedicate this blog to Sissy Jo.  Today would have been JoJobean's 47th birthday and she lived every moment the best that she could.  I am forever grateful that I spent her last night on earth with her.  It was like old times when we had a lot of Sissy sleep-over's, watching "ghosty" shows, chatting, being sisters.   That night she told me her dreams for me and what she was sure would be my reality for the future. What people didn't see was JoAnn's fight.  When it was posted on Facebook that she had passed away, so many of my own family and friend's commented that they didn't even know she was still sick.  In fact, she was on her way to do payroll when she collapsed, the afternoon she passed away.  She had set-up a makeshift office at home, because her dedication to the work and people she cared about, never stopped. JoAnn was re-diagnosed in December 2008.  She had been in remission for almost four years when breast cancer came ba...
