halfway through scorpio + an auction for Andrew

I looked at the calender this morning and became aware of the date.  This time of year is always an uneasy one for me.  I kind of tiptoe around from mid-October to mid-November, ever alert, anxiously waiting to get through Scorpio.  I met my beloved in October 31 years ago, I've lost many loved ones during this time of year, we've made big cross country moves on more than one occasion and there have been wonderful breakthroughs in my life, work and business.  Most years it passes without incident, but if anything is going to happen, it tends to be big.

So this morning, in an effort to weigh in on the positive side of Scorpio, this awareness has me seeing to some  things I've been ignoring ... breathe into this moment, engage rather than submerge, do rather than try.

An important thing on my list is this:
I've been wanting to participate in the effort to help with Andrew Thornton's ever increasing medical bills.  So here's what I'm doing ... I'm auctioning off this little box - handbuilt by me in fine silver PMC .

It's tiny, fairie sized - 1" x 1" x 2" tall with a tiny piece of beach glass at the crest.  The lid is hollow, texture is from my fingerprints and a well-worn volcanic rock.  I love making little boxes, but rarely take the time.  So, for me, this is something of a treasure.  I think of it as a place to tuck memories or small wonders, hopes and special wishes.   

I'd like the starting price to be $50.  Please leave a comment if you'd like to make a bid.  The end date is Sunday, the 14th.  I'll contact the winner on Monday to get PayPal and shipping info.

with enormous gratitude and blessings - kvk
