Sunday, 20 August 06 :: i was reminded

i got an email from some HoN friends just a moment ago. i've known what they are going through, i heard about it through my friend p. they are dear people to me, both have held me with such love and grace during hard moments at HoN. i'm grateful to them for what they've given me. one of those friends has a rapidly growing cancer, and the other - their partner - is supporting them through it. please hold them in your prayers, thoughts, energy - whatever it is that you do - as they go through this time.

my family is lucky right now, my dad is doing well, thank the goddess, thank god. other families, other families are struggling cancer aren't as lucky. please hold them all in your thoughts/prayers/energy.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
