Keeping it alive.

Keeping it alive. It's amazing what two nights of intermittent rains can do; they've shot up several inches in the just the last couple of days.

We've had a little rain of the other sort, too, but we still need help. And by help, I specifically mean sales. The year's been frankly terrible and it's only getting worse, but we're up against it right now. We're in the red, and while the taxes and some other must-pays have been covered, I still have to clear this and get the last two biannual bills off us before month's end (which means sales need to clear our bank before month's end). And I'm running out of time. Thanks to a sale yesterday morning and some help from some friends, we're a little further ahead, but we're still about $1,000 away from getting clear of this damn month. 

Look. Things are different here. Our cultures are different. We don't hoard, and when we have it to share, we do that. I told the story here Friday of where our last $5 went; you can read it here, if you want. And no, I wouldn't change what we did. The fact of the matter is that every time we share what we have in the moment, it might keep one more person or family housed another month, or lights on, or food on the table, or a doctor's visit covered or a scrip filled. If you have $5 to give (or $50, or $500, or $5,000) give it to the folks who are homeless. The ones without a roof. The ones without food. The ones without clean water to drink and a place to shower. But if you have spare cash for purchases, and you're planning on buying gifts for yourself or others? I'm imploring you to consider Wings's work now. He's got some gorgeous new work posted.

New piece just the other morning, here. Two brand new and purely phenomenal works from the other day, here. Lots of other new works, too, cuffs and earrings and one new necklace. But all of this falls entirely on me; I'm the one who has to make it all work, and I'm up against a brick wall. So please. Share the links; they're here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here;
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

[Also, the wishlist is back in force. There are things I absolutely cannot get except through Amazon, and I can't add that stress onto all the others now. It's breaking me.] Please share everything. Thanks.
