Be wicked and lovely...

It's a Wicked Girls day here in sunny California, where I've just received the confirmation that Wicked Girls is now available for order on CDBaby.com. If you missed the pre-order period, or just need another copy, this is your chance! We're probably going to sell out their available stock pretty quickly, but that's okay; they'll ask me for more, which I will dispatch promptly, and showing them the level of demand will help to set the tempo of their restock requests.

Theodora Goss has written a beautiful contemplation on what it is to be a wicked girl. People I've never met are taking this up as a rallying cry, and that warms my heart and gives me hope.

Emily Gilman has also posted her contemplations on being wicked and lovely, and not living in fear, and these are two brave, bold women I've never met, talking about what it takes to fly.

Be brave. Be true. Fly.

That's all I'll ever ask of you.

ETA: CDBaby now says "out of stock," but will take requests anyway. That's fine. Go ahead and place your order now, and I should have a restock request from them by Monday, at which point they'll have more CDs, and I'll have less.

I think "Wicked Girls" saved my life yesterday.

In just four days I've lost the ability to do all of the things I love most - reading, long distance walking, lace-making and knitting - and not knowing how permanent that loss is going to be has devastated me.

I read your post yesterday morning (Sunday), and went and played the CD. And played it again. And again.

I've stopped crying, and if I don't yet know where my personal trail is going to take me, I know I can forge a trail of my own if I have courage, and I'm true to what I believe.

I'm thanking God for you today Seanan, because your post, and your music mean I'm here to give those thanks - in person.

Oh, my dear. I am so sorry to hear this. I am glad the song has helped, and I hope things will improve for you.

Thank you :-)

Hoping for a diagnosis next week. I can start asking the right questions then, and perhaps begin to plan a route back to 'normal' life.
