    There are no Inner Limits to Dana’s mind, or the wonderful finds she sends my way to share on her behalf. Like this vintage collection of Outer Limits cards. In fact, I have a couple of these kicking around in a drawer somewhere. Viva la Geek!

    The full set of Outer Limits cards  can be found at their

  • Hello! How I’ve missed it here! It’s time to get FAR more personal than I ever thought I would in public. I feel I owe a further explanation to the loyal and wonderful readers of this site.

    For those who don’t know, I’ve been too ill to communicate for the better part of a year. Severe Central Sensitization Pain Syndrome (the worst case 50+ doctors have ever seen) was compounded by this. And these tragedies were recently complicated by a near-death emergency surgery incident.

    You can read my dad’s previous hospital updates HERE and listen to an embarrassing, rambling voice recording of more details (can’t type) that I sent to my closest friends HERE.

    The road ahead is long and grueling, but I’m ready for the fight of a lifetime…mostly because of the amazing people in my life, and unrelenting desire to be of service to humanity.

    I want to give credit to my amazing friends for making and displaying this motivational graphic. It warmed my heart so beautifully…I’m still not over the wonderful surprise! Gets me every time I see it…

    THANK YOU for supporting me. My love and gratitude are beyond all measure. I still cannot respond to comments, but I appreciate them with all my heart.

    Special thanks to my incredible proxy blogger, who keeps my dreams alive when my body cannot do so. What a precious gift.

    Today’s post is a video Dana sent me a couple of weeks back. For those of us close to the situation, it will bring a tear. Visually very well done. Lyrically, rather pertinent to Dana’s condition, of “fighting for her life” to get back to normal.  As ever, Dana is searching, finding, and relaying whatever it is she relates to.  How does this one affect you?

    Oren Lavie – Her Morning Elegance (partial lyrics/chorus):

    And she fights for her life
    As she puts on her coat
    And she fights for her life on the train
    She looks at the rain
    As it pours
    And she fights for her life
    As she goes in a store
    Where the people are pleasently strange
    And counting the change
    And she goes…

    Today the She Walks Softly blog is having a hybrid moment, or two, or five. When I see Liu Xue’s sculptures, I just want to squee! They are so charming and grotesque perhaps you will squee, too.

    Get out your magnifying glass and focus on these amazing miniature scenes of Thomas Doyle. Seeing disarray or a gaping hole seemingly unnoticed by the scene participants brings a smile to my face.

    Strap a sausage to your nose and enjoy the art of Victor Castillo. What fun! The images are so familiar, and no doubt draw on some famous and obscure visuals for inspiration.
