July Recap: Wow! July was a busy month for me, especially in the blogging world. I now have three weekly posts: 7BulletFriday, Butterfly Quote, and Butterfly of the Week. The last two were started/brought back in July. I also started posting daily on my Facebook page last month. Thank goodness for scheduling features or I’d be unable to do anything else. My work in progress hasn’t been sitting idly, I’m nearly finished with story-boarding my second draft of Tree Dragon and then it’s on to re-writing pages. When you add on dance events and traveling, July has been busy indeed!

The reunion road trip: As promised, here are a few pics from my long-weekend road trip. From the mountains of West Virginia, past the cornfields and wind farms of Indiana, a brush by Chicago, to the reunion, and a big Illinois sky shot for fun. We’re a big family and not all of us made it for the shindig. I also managed to snap some great texture and sky shots that I will post to Pixabay (my very first shares with that community).

My favorite dream interpretation this week:
Wheels:
1. If the wheels are on an automobile, particularly on one in which the dreamer is riding, then the dreamer will soon embark on a new journey, either literal or figurative.
2. If the wheels are on an airplane, success in the dreamer’s current enterprise is indicated.
3. Slowly moving wheels indicate slow progress and frustration, but positive results in the end, while fast-moving wheels represent rapid progress.
4. Ferris wheels, or gambling wheels in a casino, indicate sudden and unexpected events that could bring either reversals or skyrocketing success, depending on other symbols in the dream.
Astrological parallel: Uranus.
Tarot parallel: The Wheel of Fortune

My favorite Abraham quote this week:
“Make a decision and then make the decision right. Line up your Energy with it. In most cases, it doesn’t really matter what you decide. Just decide. There are endless options that would serve you enormously well, and all or any one of them is better than no decision.” —Abraham

My favorite writing prompt this week:
“Suddenly, all over the world, all children start drawing the same thing over and over again.”

My favorite writing quote this week:
“Write even when the world is chaotic. You don’t need a cigarette, silence, music, a comfortable chair or inner peace to write. You just need ten minutes and a writing implement.” –Cory Doctorow

My favorite from the inter-webs: I found this one yesterday! Have you ever wondered where to break a word with a hyphen? Every now and again I come across a line of formatted text that could use a hyphen break and I need that extra assurance that I’m breaking the word correctly. In walks Hyphenation24. Just type the word your questioning in the box and you’ll get a selection of appropriate breaks for that word. For example, reasonable can be broken rea-son-able. Hope you find it useful!
