Told You So


Please excuse this small inside 
token of conversations 
I have had over the past few weeks.
Discussions of what is valued
by me and my friends.
Staying true to ourselves and maintaining
authentic lives in a sometimes difficult 
and misleading world, both the real one and in blog land.
Making sure my compass points true north.

I told you guys I would do it,
fly a banner 
that's not just "about the pretty."
Thank you my dear friends for always being there,
and letting my voice be heard in a safe and 
nurturing environment. 

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... 
It has no survival value; 
rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
C. S. Lewis
