I am so sorry to any of you that rest here for some respite or connections to me,
and my art, and
my little life here in Vermont...
and my art, and
my little life here in Vermont...
but my heart is still feeling so very heavy every time I think of the people of Haiti.....I feel
like I
like I
can hardly put one foot in front of the other... this is the best I can do right now......
last night I
last night I
watched the telethon that was put together by George Clooney....the photographs
and reporting clips

and reporting clips
were heart wrenching to watch...in many ways, I wanted to look away...it was

When I was younger and studying theater, one of my professors told us that in

I cannot sing... my singing ranks around the same place as my knitting abilities!.. but again, I find myself

celebrate our

I know this is not entertaining, but it's where I am at....
and
if t-shirts are not your thing, why simply give a listen to this song...the voices are so beautiful...I sing with you in my heart....
