Spread the loveI am being bad in not following up on my Clapotis, but we had a couple of events this week that caught us off guard. Early morning on Monday, our friends’ father/FIL passed away. He had Parkinson’s Disease and had fallen so hard that he was taken to the hospital. It turned out…

Spread the loveBecause I seem to make all sorts of things for others throughout the year, I always promise to make a full-sleeved sweater and something nice as part of personal selfish love for myself, SlytherBun, BFF, and sometimes close family. Since Spring 2015, if I make myself a shawl or other accessories, I incorporate…
Facing Permanent Farewells

Spread the loveThis week has been a little stressful, and not because of SlytherBun’s growth spurt or work. On Sunday I finally accepted that Julius was tired of living with his painful arthritis and clogged tear ducts. Making the decision to help him hop to the Rainbow Bridge’s Great Meadow was a necessary one for…

My 3 Words for 2014
Spread the love
Spread the loveSince meeting Chris Brogan in August 2009 at PodCamp Boston, I have been inspired by his use of “3 Words” for that year. His 2013 list including the words from 2006, are in his last January 1st post. My own three words through the past four years have been: 2010 – Acknowledgment, Care,…

People are SICK!!
How distressing – I am so sorry.
We’re all just stunned.
I can imagine what Blacksburg is going thru – we’re 50 miles away!
(((hugs)))
Yikes! How scary!
That is horrifying! Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, families and students; I can’t even get my mind around the whole catastrophe.
You have my sympathies. It was a shock when it happened in Great Barrington, too. And you know you can’t do a damn thing about it having happened, really, other than try to help others deal, and yourself.
That said, anything I can do?
What an awful story. My thoughts are with all the victims.
I saw this today on the Internet at work. The numbers kept going up and up and the day went on.
They are still trying to identify bodies. Can you imagine if you were a parent waiting to hear?
This is so awful. I’ll do some chanting for them (and you) at the Zen Center tomorrow night.
Ugh! Horrible! Sorry…don’t know what else to say…
I’m so sorry. Listened to the NPR coverage yesterday in stunned silence. Can’t grasp what went on in his mind. So many families grieving…
I can barely fathom this tragedy as an unconnected stranger. You must be in a rough spot. [hugs!]
I’m still in shock. How can one person kill 32 others at one go?
My prayers for the innocent victims.
Oh, no! Such a scary event made more horrible because you have a connection to the place. I’m so sorry. Take care.
Oh my gosh, I had no idea you are an alumni from there. It’s such a sad and disturbing story – and I’m sure it’s a million times worse for all who have gone to that school. Take care of yourself.
It took me until this evening to remember who it was that I read who went to VA Tech. I’m so sorry for how it’s going to change how you feel about your school.
So senseless…tough to wrap my head around this tragedy. Hug a lot of bunnies.
Oh, Kimberly, I’m so sorry. I was worried about you and the storm when I didn’t hear from you (about that silly sock yarn swap) so I checked your web page. I hope you don’t mind. This is such a devastating, impossible thing to understand. What a tragedy.
=( This is absolutely dreadful. The shock must be immense for you since you are much closely connected to VT.
I have no words….
Awful and unexplainable.
