* She Always Knows

Once upon a time, Nicky and Mike over at We Work For Cheese thought of running another month-long writing challenge.

As soon as Max completes repairs to the Time Pyramid and hauls it back out of drydock, I’m going to travel back and have a word with them about it.

    You are correct that a haven is not always a place. People can make us feel safe, too. This is a lovely tribute your your special friend. It sounds you are both lucky to have each other in your lives.

    I think you made Abbey up. Not that I blame you, of course. It's just that she changes her hair color a lot and I worry about it falling out. Not that she'd be less attractive bald, mind you. Some women, women like Abbey, call pull that look off.

    Great post, Indigo. It actually better when it's not a place. That makes it portable - Mike

    "A haven is not a place, necessarily. I am warm, safe and cared for, and everything’s going to be okay. The location isn’t important."

    That is so true, Indigo!

    Great post!

      Hey Mia! You and I both know a hug may not cure all ills, but it's good for the spirit, which always helps us along the road to recovery. Hugs, Indigo
