This new blog is a liberating birthday present to myself, after a mighty fine first year of “launching” my book throughout Virginia. Pete & I traveled the state with an array of unorthodox signings at Wine Tasting Events and spay/neuter fund-raisers for SPCAs &amp; animal shelters (see the <a href="http://www.thekokopellijournals.com/calendar.html">Calendar/Events </a>link to review upcoming signings and review those from 2006.) As The Kokopelli Journals grows, so do my plans to increase support of spay/neuter awareness & for fund-raisers for the same. We even made a two-week tour of Santa Fe &amp; Taos, in September of 2006, for signings (one at the Santa Fe Humane Society) & to celebrate our 30th.</div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5054568220819927378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ILmyVzAP_dM/RiVvBD7zMVI/AAAAAAAAAAU/r1S_ERvmS1w/s320/LauraPelli1.jpg" border="0" /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Dingo – later to become Kokopelli, “Mischief-maker of the west” –<br />found in Monument Valley, September 30th, 2001</span></em></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><em><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></em></div><div align="center"><em><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></em><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5054568371143782754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ILmyVzAP_dM/RiVvJz7zMWI/AAAAAAAAAAc/jiQF-b8esUM/s320/LauraPelli2.jpg" border="0" /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">“Laura ‘Louise’ & the pup”… Today, Laura &amp; Pelli<br />at home, happy & bonded like glue.</span></em></div><em><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></em><br />I am closing down our controversial Guestpage with mixed feelings. Many friends &amp; readers logged on & added their unabridged comments – which warmed our hearts no end – &amp; gave this challenging journey of writing & publishing my first book a rounded perspective, from many points of view. But alas, all good things must end. Some create; others destroy. While we received many a thoughtful & caring comment, we were swallowed alive by continual &amp; tasteless spamming from the bored souls “out there” with very little lives of their own (that we could tell…). So, in Kokopelli’s spritely spirit, we created a solution… Please feel free to add your own comments on this blog – knowing they will be reviewed before posting – and revisit us for continual updates.
