The Write Life

Seducing hearts, one story at a time, Author - Crystal R. Martin

 

            Hi All,

                               

Thanksgiving just came and went, and a good time was had by all. My s.o. and I were apart for the holiday. He was house-sitting for friends, while we both worked long hours.This holiday season is extra tough. People are suffering right now with bigotry, cruelty, hate, and misogyny. It breaks my heart almost daily. I’ve leaned into Christmas music to try to heal my heart. I know it doesn’t help others, but if I can find joy, that is a form of resistance. Resistance leads to hope. I am already trying to decorate and my big plan for tomorrow is to get my tree up. My s.o. does not know this. Shh…it’s a surprise. Don’t tell him, okay? He’s not into Christmas, but I really need it this year. Capitalism’s sell, sell, sell is very hard on my soul. I work in retail, and our store was first in our district, and fifth in all of our stores everywhere with Black Friday Sales. Enough about that. I am grateful to have a job. Mercury has gone direct! Thanks be to the old gods. Can you hear the relief? It wasn’t bad, just lots of lessons. I was more curious this round. Anyway, this was just a quick update for the start of the holidays. 

 

        Love to you all.
