Words Words Words. . . Are More Than That

Yesterday I attended a women's circle meeting for the first time. (I've sat in more than a few women's circles over the years, of course. This was my first meeting with this group.)

The other members seemed to all be lovely people: present, committed, really striving, friendly, warm, and quirky. I felt very comfortable there, like I had found a previously unknown pocket of my tribe -- a rare occurrence. I'd had a phone conversation the night before with one of the leadership team, and had been delighted by the resonance between her use of language and my own.

But when the circle actually got underway, I struggled a lot.

Icon Help Needed. Anyone Feeling Creative?

I'm finding myself staring at my current group of icons and feeling at a loss.

I love having a large collection of userpics and selecting Just The Right One for each entry, but I don't have much that feels appropriate for this new stage of my journey.

My own skills at making icons are limited. I find pretty pictures and crop them. And at this time I'm not even finding pretty pictures that fit. If any of you like to make icons and feel inspired to make one (or more) to help me illustrate this stage of my journey, I'd appreciate it.

I keep feeling like I'm standing naked on a hill as dawn eases into day: new and fresh and tender -- but no longer raw. I am in the East, and a new, unknown path lies before me, but am not a Maiden.


I will give a free tarot reading to anyone whose icons I use.
If I have the bandwidth, I'll do a tarot reading for anyone who has made an icon, even if I'm not able to use it.
