About Me

THE HISTORY OF MY BLOGGING BUDDY HOWARD AND I !! Howard and I are very close friends who decided to sometimes blog together. We are NOT boyfriend/girlfriend or married HA! just good friends ! We added each other as friends after finding each other on Tim Finn's myspace blog page ! The way it came about was that Howard so naturally was joining into the replys on my blogs and his views complimented mine somehow, so i thought it could be fun for us to blog together at times. It started with just one blog and we all seemed to like it so much, that it has gone on from there. As Howard lives in Michigan, USA and i live in Melbourne, Australia it takes a little bit of time to organize, but i admit its more my problem that there are gaps between the blogs and Howard is very patient with me lol !
'AT the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity, Where the past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards, Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.' -- Burnt Norton by T.S. Eliot

MY name is KATE, lover of the meditative, soulful, rock. Survived a life-threatening illness over the last 11 years - and it IS life changing.
