Your soul is bound to the Rose Petals: The
Wronged.

"I've come undone and all hopes of mending
me are gone because the pain took my soul.
Can't you see? The only one who can put me
back together again is me."

The Rose Petals are associated with sorrow,
reflection, and wisdom. They are governed by
the goddess Persephone and their sign is The
Teardrop, or Broken Love.

As a Rose Petal, you are always self-reflective and
may be hard on yourself. You probably have
been hurt in the past by other people and can
sometimes distance yourself, as a result. You
don't usually let other get too close to you,
but you are very good at mending your spirits
back together by yourself.

Back at work again... :-) Ice Skating was fun yesterday, went with the boyfriend and his daughter (who got her first skates for Christmas)...
Quite an experience ... Go figure, here I am, born and bred African, not exactly my cup-o-tea, but hey, I can't believe how much fun I had.... as we were putting on our skates a young guy named Alex came over to talk to us... he ended up taking me out on the ice to teach me to skate while the boyfriend taught his daughter. Turns out Alex is a streetkid, I got to speaking with him, he says his 19 years old, came up here from California (though why he would leave the warmth to come up here and freeze I can't figure out)...So I asked him the questions that I've been dying to ask (ever since I've been here from home (which is about 4 years), I've been trying to figure out why we have so many people living on the streets when there are so many opportunities available.

My first question to young Alex was why, why live on the streets - he says his parents abandoned him when he was about 13 years old, so he's had to fend for himself.
Where does he sleep? - Under a bridge In This Cold? He says he has lots of comforters.
Why not go to a shelter? They are a bunch of bull... (he won't use bad language in front of a lady)
How do you make money to survive Panhandling - teaching people to skate (although I'm not asking you for money)

Well, unfortunately, as much as I wanted to, I didn't end up giving him any money because - well, I didn't have any on me and he had to leave to go have dinner (one of his friends came to call him) before we were done skating... I will be going back tonight.

Well I figure I can't be left out in the cold now can I? So here I am, I'm at work typing away - I'm sure I look really busy, when in fact - I'm not. My website www.blakwido.com is up and running, and I must say, I am pleased with the response I am getting. I mean it may (or may not)be a totally narcissistic site - but what the hell - you only live once.

Good News: I'm the feature girl for MAMi Magazine this week - www.mamimagazine.com (whoo hooo). My agency called to say my new pictures are ready (headshots and what not) so I have to go pic them out.

Bad News: More money out of my pocket for prints and management fees for the next year (oh when will the cash start flowing in????)

Well the work days almost done, I may - or may not - continue this when I get home tonight. I'm off to go skating tonight (skating???) - Yeh - ice-skating - I can't skate to save my life - so I'm sure to be all bruised up by the time I get home - but gotta try it out for myself.... will let you know how that went tommorrow...

Take care
