This is a break away from Reverb10.
I got this from the blog of a woman I greatly respect and admire.
Her patron saint for the year is St. Florian. I'd never heard of him before.
Mine is St. Patrick. Yes, the St. Patrick, patron saint of engineers, Ireland and Nigeria. Against the fear of snakes and snake related incidents. And apparently also the patron saint of excluded people according to the brief blurb I read when I got him here.
I read that to include those who are isolated or alienated.
Interesting, no?
I thought so.
I'll be back with the rest of the Reverb10 posts but I wanted to share this first.

Now, when you are least suspecting it -
I know you probably thought I'd forgotten, or given up on, Reverb10.
Surprise! I was writing them, but forgetting to post them.
There is a subtle difference.
So here's the next one. It's practically a bullet point list, but I did write it early in the morning - or maybe late at night - I don't know. Don't judge me.
What do you want to try next year? Is there something you wanted to try in 2010? What happened when you did / didn’t go for it?
I want to try to make a sundress. I also want to try to build a business so I can work from home. I also want to try to finish a novel I started a year ago; and try to get another novel sent to a publisher.
All of the above are things I wanted to try in 2010. What happened when I tried all those things this year - the sundress got put on hold when I had no iron and I had a bent needle on my sewing machine; building a business proved harder than anticipated and I gave up and restarted and gave up and restarted and then felt like God was telling me to slow down and wait for my time - not yet, not yet; I got too involved in the novel and then sank into depression and had to leave it alone; and I lost my other novel in my office which was/is a disaster area and only recently found it again.
What happened to me with all of this is that I felt worthless and like I couldn’t finish anything.
I know that isn’t true though. So I’m going to try again and this time I’m going to succeed.
