It was a year of intensity, drama , tragedy and the sad loss of more then one friend and a very powerful muse .. but it was a time of a lot of growth and growing up .. February 14th the romantic high day will also be the day the Rabbit hops into the Chinese calender year and the day i retract my claws i let grow in honor of my birth year + the astrological sign i most associate with.

My Grand Mother passed in march in her sleep, my God farther 3 months later of a sudden heart attack ..

Thanks to a kind soul I was able to get back on my feet but due to no fault but my own I was to lose her trust forever as the New Year arrived due to my honest silliness. This bore a heavy toll as she was there in my darkest hours making my smile, sing + dance.
During the last 6 months of the year i was to leave the social networks and live a life of creativity and squeaky fun with a that good friend that taught me to let go of harsh feelings and worry and live life a little more.     

Just today and the weekend i was to find out though (during my absence)that I had i lost contact with a long time friend and lost another dear friend to cancer rip Jas

So with the advent of a new year western and eastern, we farewell those that have left our eyes and hug those that are close. xo
