"Hang onto the world/As it spins around ..."
-- Someday We'll All Be Free by Donny Hathaway
You know who you are. You've been there for me during some dark hours. Even before you knew I had no food, you fed me, pulling out your wallet without a second thought no matter how embarrassed I was to ask. You encouraged me to keep pressing on and to do my best even though all I could see was more frustration, disappointment and defeat. You promoted me like I was your finest whore, telling everyone you could all about the good things I could do for them. And sometimes you just listened ...
I've said the words "Thank You" so much lately, grateful for your response to my plea. How can those words really convey my gratitude for taking such good care of me and holding onto me - so tight? Each time I utter those words to you, I pour my heart into them - I hope you can feel that. Thank you for your love. Thank you forever.
I started a new job last Thursday! I want to say publicly as much as I can about it, but haven't yet determined how much that will be. I can say this: it feels good to feel like I'm going to be able to take care of myself again. I'm kind of excited about this job; it seems to bring a lot of opportunity, or at least another period of financial stability. *crosses fingers!*
I have other stuff to blog about, though, so I'm not worried. Like about this gut I've noticed (and what I'm gonna do about it that WON'T involve anyone's gym) and Patti Labelle last Saturday and Steven's new book and that story on Darrell's blog and juggle my work with their work and, in general, about getting my shit together. Again!
In gratitude, please accept my invitation to the music of rentparty.org. I guarantee there will be something that will put a smile on your face and a jiggle to your step.

I am SO FUCKING GLAD to hear about your new gig, Donald. Congratulations. I must apologize for my sketchiness the past month or so (you know how we get). I’m better now (I think).
Keep up the good work.
Much love and blessings to you!!! Big Hugs!!!
I hope the coins are LOVELY!!!!! I’m soooooooooooooooooooo happy for you!!!!! We knew you would get through it, but I know (and I mean I REALLY know) that faith is a hard thing to hold onto when Ms. Keyspan, Ms. Verizon and Mr. “Where my rent be at?” start banging on the door. But you did it like we knew you would! Congratulations babe!
