1) teaching (which is going great, but it's a new class to me, so I am doing a lot of prep work in that regard). San Jose is not as horrid as I thought it might be in summer, and some days, oddly, it is cooler than Santa Cruz.
2) bellydance performances (two over the weekend in Santa Cruz)
3) Fire prevention (clearing brush and so forth--scary times here in the mountains)
4) Finishing the book.
5) Needing to get to bed and sleep eight hours, every night, unfailingly. I am trying so hard to be better about this, and am getting better about being good to my body in general.
So, I've been a busy strega, but productive.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
