Hannah Fraser is an amazing lady. She fashioned her first mermaid tail(and worked on free-diving and breath-holding) when she was nine. Now, she’s got a whole quiver full of gorgeous tailsuits and travels the world swimming with whales, dolphins, turtles, etc, not only for her mermaid modeling career, but to help save the ocean’s beings!
Lovely, lovely footage of the mermaid frolicking with her sea friends on her site.
A merry holidays to all! 
Wouldn’t it be cool if they got printed and I got paid?

“See your world as a sort of well-stocked kitchen where every possible ingredient that has ever been pondered, considered, thought of or wanted, exists in an abundant, never-ending quantity; and see yourself as the chef, soliciting forth from the shelves of your kitchen whatever ingredients, in whatever quantity you desire, and mixing it all together for the creation of your cake of life, which currently pleases you greatly.”
Abraham Hicks
Love this analogy. So, hmmm… What do I want in my cake? Cups and cups of great art, awesome friends and family, excellent health, great relationships, LOVE, JOY, ABUNDANCE, financial prosperity, delicious food, beautiful garden… Throw in some great books, music, chi gong, beach time, snuggles, fun with my son, chocolate, great conversations. Spice it up with large dashes of dancing, awesome sex, incredible kisses and infuse it with wisdom and compassion, ice it with clarity and beauty and pass me that fork!
No fair-catching the phlegmy crud in the summer. Boo hiss.

I was eating lunch out on my front lawn the other day when a stranger walked by and stopped to remark: “What a beautiful sight!” Made me happy, ’specially after months of bein’ ill. Of course it might have been my new sunhat. It is splendid.
But today I was walking down by Greenlake and an older gentleman turned from asking a young girl who’d paddled her kayak up to shore if she was OK , brightened when he saw me and said: “Pretty colors on a pretty girl!’. Aw.
< blush>
Not having a car has been good for me, I think. Much walking has been necessary in a season where it’s so much more appealing to veg at home than to bravely blunder out into the damp, grey chill.
On one such mile-eating excursion, I was stumbling over to Cody’s(after stuffing myself on WAY too much coconut soup at Jai Thai AND a mojito) and my eye was caught by furtive(but bulgey) movements in the dark of a nearby yard.
Two ginormous ‘coons scuttled up onto the steps of someone’s house and froze-absolutely in plain sight, lit by the porch light as though it was a spotlight.
They stared me down, as if they could render themselves invisible by the mere power of their gaze and immobility.
It was hilarious and sweet.
After several long moments spent gratefully soaking in their boldness, I gave them an (invisible) wink and moved on, back into the world of humans, where invisibility is so easy to attain, you don’t even have to stop moving.
But it’s more sad than amusing.
