My cat, Teasel. Before I got the monitor I have now (a 2004 Christmas gift), she would insist on sleeping on top of the one I had, holding on tight to it with her claws locked onto the ridges, when I tried to move her. So, when I needed a username and a name for my old earthlink email address, I used her name. She died unexpectedly, in August, so it feels weird using it now. I thought about changing it, but she was my Teasel baby, so I couldn't let it go. IP: Logged |

I posted a picture of her on my facebook wall last year, just because I liked it (I'd just taken it when she was on my lap, in the garden), and people responded with, "Teasel!!" The cat behind the name that they knew me by. IP: Logged |

Well my middle name is Joan and I choose Natively because I'm a cultural and global person and everything that's indigenous, native or authentic fascinates and intrigues me. I grew up in South Africa and America and I identify greatly with ancient cultures. IP: Logged |

Lei in Hawaiian culture is a hand-made garland that are offered to each other, and to their gods as a symbol of love and friendship.The Kuei-Jin are the vampires of Kindred of the East. The term is a portmanteau word consisting of the Mandarin word for ghost (kuei) and the Japanese word for person (jin). ------------------ “It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.” Philip K.

So be on the lookout. This book is far from My only tool. You may ask a question, then put this book down. But watch. Listen. The words to the next song you hear. The information in the next article you read. The story line of the next movie you watch. The chance utterance of the next person you meet. Or the whisper of the next river, the next ocean, the next breeze that caresses your ear—all these devices are Mine; all these avenues are open to Me. I will speak to you if you will listen. I will come to you if you will invite Me. I will show you then that I have always been there. All ways. ♥ IP: Logged |
