It's My Life

Armored Women - a collection. Do you know any other images?

Medieval and Renaissance Armored Women.

This is a collection of images from the Middle Ages and Renaissance showing women in armor, and mostly later period. So...do you know of any others?

This one is for Dawn: "I Run, For Life!"

This person also makes me feel like I can do this running thing. I am surrounded by strong, positive role models. I am so fortunate.

Neat place to get: All the Top Mayo Clinic News and more

Social Media Saturday: All the Top Mayo Clinic News « Sharing Mayo Clinic.

This AllTop.com is pretty cool at first glance. I'm not going to use it but maybe you will. 

Not just about social apps like FB, words flew off the page at me.

This happens that certain phrases jump out and I have to read them over and over. I just want to remind everyone to be authentic, whether in FB or in walking about. Be honest. What you need is totally different than what I need.

Conversation Agent: Are *You* Truly Engaged?.

What you do need is clarity in what you want and awareness of who you are. Then believe passionately in both as you step off the map, recognizing that they - you - will change over time with experience. We're human beings, we're fragile, sometimes insecure, and yet incredibly resilient and enduring as we defy the most incredible circumstances often with the strength of an idea whose time has come.

Period encampment contest, feast, new friends and lighted bocci ball

This is mostly just a reminder to talk about these things. It will be monday night before I have time to do more talking about this event. Met some great people, some of whom I intent to immediately look for on facebook.

The tent is rocking in the breeze and my tent is surrounded by the lite-up bocciball game. Seriously, they are right there, lol. I am so very tired so goodnight!

Storms at Moorish.

OK,you went assets over tea kettle couple times in the bridge battle. Coupe good kills there, some in warm up. Lost both during speed tourney. Then fighting got cancelled when this huge storm came in. had to hold the pavilion down,even.

New fighter

Moorish day 3-bids, fighting, self-discipline

So Moorish Tavern has a lot of food. The are eating blueberries pancakes and bacon in the hall. That is where the discipline comes in. I didn't eat any as fighting will happen later this morning. I had the right food. Lots of good coffee though.

I am bidding on a biking chest and a length of tablet weaving in Northshield's colors. The latter was finished here just yesterday, in my camp.

Maintaining period encampment discipline as much as I can. I think the food part of it is pretty important; choices I have made mean the need for a cooler and modern trash. So we will see. Whisky and water, however, good choice for booze. Ok,you I hear things from the fighting field. later!

rain, got it this evening. No fighting but great company

I am on top of the v warm sleeping bag under 3 layers of wool. Finally warming up. Temps really dropped this evening, plus it is damp. Oh well, v warm this day. I have had a lot of good conversation, plus tookpart in an intro demo and tomorrow is the open event demo. If we can fight, it will be good. No dropspindle to be able to demo. Must hit people. Rather oddly, I did not bring handicrafts, so I am working on my brat. Using pulled threads off the trimmed edge to finish the seams and probably edge it.

night!

beautiful day! some rain overnight but grass is dry and people are moving.

We have about 15 fighters here and i'm told the fighting is pretty laid back. Of course, not just responsible for my own honor any longer but also reflecting on another's, I will fight well and w enthusiasm.

Being that it is something i've wanted, I am finding it difficult to put into words this announcement. Sir Roisin is taking me on as man at arms, at ww. We have been in a mentoring relationship for a while and that has been very good for me. So this is a formal step and I anticipate both work and happiness from it.

And that is for later. Or maybe you can say just more of my journey, new connections and opportunities and lets do see what is up there! Edwin's come into camp tp tell me there is coffee in the main hall. lovely!
