  THe first day of summer is approaching us. So is the longest day of the year. Can you believe it? I feel like I just finished putting away the Christmas decorations.
  I want to thank Jamie for writing me. I am glad I can make a difference in your world. You know I was thinking about not writing my personal stuff on the web site any more. I really thought nobody read it(except for the people that have no choice..lol) But I have to say getting all these emails telling me how they like to read what I write, feel like they know me, How I make a difference in the world, etc... proves I am wrong. So I will continue to write.

• A Half Moon Before and Two Summers After by Portia Richardson on Merwolf's Academy of Bards (alt)
  Xena and Gabrielle are with the Amazons for an Initiation ceremony when Gabrielle sees a woman who looks exactly like an old friend from Poteidaia.

• The Purest Love by Seana James on Merwolf's Academy of Bards (alt)
  The story was prompted by some "gaps" in the story "Chakram" and other episodes and began as a PWP, but, as with life, it got complicated. It's my take on Xena's and Gabrielle's occasionally mystifying pushme/pullyou relationship. It does contain spoilers for several episodes, but it's complete in and of itself.

• Thanks to everyone who sent link info. :) Barry

• Message from Heartbrkn: I'm back!! Worn and torn, but back. It was touch and go there believe it or not. My blood pressure dropped to 85/23 and they had a hard time getting my pulse because it was so low. I was in the hospital for 7 extra hours trying to get my blood pressure up. They were this close to admitting me. They don't know  how it happened, but that doesn't matter now because I am ok! The cyst was huge but it is benign. And they had to remove some major scar tissue that had wrapped itself around my stomach walls. Needless to say I am still in pain, but trying to do to much. You know when you think you can do more than you actually can? Well that's me. I get tired fast too. I also want to thank everyone for the prayers and the emails, and thank CN WINTERS and her family for the beautiful roses they sent to my house, Renee for the yummy cookies that she baked for me(that are coming tomorrow)(G),TJ-Vertigo for taking care of my son when I was 6 hours late that she missed her own appointment. Roxy, Barry, Phair, Baltic, Catherine,My reporters, Jilly, LD, Stormy, Kathy and everyone I forgot due to pain killers(g). Thank you all for being there for me and being my friend.

  (snipped)
  Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you're right. I never really paid much attention to your comments on the WNBA because it was of no interest to me. It definitely didn't bother me that you wrote what was of interest to you, and it surely shouldn't bother anyone else!! I do know, however, that I would never have watched that game had I not read about your obsession in your updates. Just continue to write what makes you happy and people can read what they want to.
