Last Sunday, August 5th marked 10 months post-op from my hysterectomy. I am getting ever closer to my 1 year and I can’t wait. To me, that’s a real hurdle to overcome and I feel like it’s the turning point I’ve been waiting for. Still, ten months is good and I’m doing really well. Scars…

Sun and Moon
Few updates to the shop this week I wanted to quickly share before the weekend and I get busy and forget to update. 😉 Rainbow Moonstone Full Moon Tree of Life Pendant in Sterling Silver Wire This Full Moon Tree of Life Pendant features a beautiful Rainbow Moonstone “moon” behind the bare branches of a…
New At PhoenixFire Designs
I’ve been busy making both new items, as well as new versions of previously sold items. But I’ve been lax about posting those updates here in the blog. (Though I’ve posted some on PhoenixFire Designs blog and more on PhoenixFire Designs Facebook page. Those are two good resources to get more up-to-the-minute updates. 😉 But…
Life Updates
With all the focus on my blog about healthcare following my CNN.com article, I haven’t had a chance to update what ELSE is going on in my life lately. So here’s a bullet-point rundown. Love’s Dad was in the hospital again. Last Monday, July 2nd, he went to the ER late afternoon with severe pain…
Follow-Up – Why You Can’t Afford to Get Sick In America
So apparently Susan Cassidy at Progressive Libertarianism saw my entry in reply to her blog entry because she has now written a new entry. She’s vaguely back-peddling now saying she wishes me well but completely missing the point that her statement was not only absurd but heartless. As such, her comments WERE idiotic. In a…
Why You Can’t Afford To Get Sick Without Healthcare In America
Susan Cassidy at Progressive Libertarianism is an idiot. From my feature on CNN, there is this quote from a naysayer on the issue: “Her hand written letter says nothing of her having the freedom to get the service and pay out of pocket, at possibly an outrageous cost, but get the life-saving service none-the-less,” writes…

Just sharing some of the items available in my shop right now. You can find additional items as well as contact me for custom orders as well in the shop. Thank you for your support!
A/C Redemption?
Talked to Wayne. He checked first to make sure the radiator fan and compressor fan did in fact need to be replaced. (Didn’t want to just take someone’s word on it.) And they did, so he replaced those. Then he checked out the a/c. Drained and flushed the system. Inspected it. Recharged it with freon….
Today’s Car Update
Just got back from dropping it off. Here’s today’s update. Apparently, Wayne said the radiator fan is just bad timing, not part of the problem with the A/C. (Though I guess the reverse is possible? You can burn out a compressor fan from a bad radiator or something as the system tries to stay cooled…
A Very Bad Day
It’s just so much I can’t even explain it all. But the long, horrible story short is that the Element’s air conditioning is completely wrong. I’d say, “again” but it seems like it was never fixed right the first THREE times we’ve done it. This has been going on for TWO YEARS now and still,…

Some updates, some new additions and some restocks! I have some new pieces that need to be photographed and listed such as a blue lapis tree, a dark green aventurine in brown wire tree and some new peacock feather pendants! Look for those in the next few days. Also! I’m running a very special, very…
Post Hysterectomy – 8 Months Post Op
I haven’t updated in awhile so I thought I’d post another photo of the healing progress. June 5th was eight months post op from my Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) and my incisions are looking really good. The main scar on my left (viewer right) is fading nicely and is much less red then it was….
PhoenixFire Designs Shop Updates
Sorry no entries since the weekend. I’ve been busy mainly with shop orders and updates the past few days. Since it’s what’s been occupying my time, I thought I’d take a moment and show off some of what’s been keeping me busy. 🙂 First off, I’ve completed my full moon “trilogy” as it were. Now,…
