I’ve known for quite some time that there are incredibly talented folks blogging on WordPress, and having to restrict my access to their work has brought that point home in a big way. The writing, the photography and the art are just outstanding, and I want to thank each and every one of you for sharing your gifts with the world. You truly make this planet a better place, each in your own unique way.
Ok, I’m done being all mushy. For now, anyway.
Being unemployed blows, and having to spend limited internet time doing what I don’t like (filling out job applications) vs. what I like a lot (reading great blogs) blows big wind. My account has finally reset, though, so y’all get ready to see gobs of Likes and comments on your blogs. It’s going to take awhile to catch up, but as long as the coffee holds out, I’m good.
In between searching for a decent job and enjoying awesome blogs, I’ll be going into battle with a local tourist spot. Their animals are being poorly cared for, some to the point of death, and it cannot be allowed to continue. The administration of the facility has been notified and done nothing to correct the situation, so I’m currently in communication with the Board of Trustees and local officials. If that doesn’t produce action, it’ll be time to take it up a notch and go to the media. I’m really hoping that won’t be necessary, because other than the problem with the animals it’s a wonderful place. I’ll keep you posted.
In the meantime, thank you again for sharing your wonderful work; getting up to date on what I’ve missed is such a pleasure. Any prayers, good vibes and encouragement will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, chicklet. Knowing how capricious the Universe can be, it wouldn’t surprise me if defending the critters somehow leads to a job. Thanks for the goodness. ~hugs~

Good luck on the job search and helping out the animals. When you do something for others with no thought for yourself, something good comes back to you. Thanks for the recent visit to my blog. Yours is always a pleasure!

Duh! I did not read the date on this post and feel silly for my comment. By now things have worked out!
Dec 05, 2014 @ 10:36:41
No worries, Ms. CC. Your well wishes and encouragement are much appreciated, regardless of the timeline! Things have indeed worked out, although not in the way I expected. It’s all good, though.
