As many of you know I participate in quite a few blog projects, giveaways and general marketing of bloggers, crafty types and the like.  I really enjoy getting to read up and coming bloggers and seeing what new things are out there.  I like to think that my blog offers others out there information and even a laugh or two.

I love to see other prospective and try to learn from others.  I get a few comments on my own blog from time to time and honestly I don't reply as often as I should.  Earlier this week I got a message on my Sosanna's Closet Facebook Page letting me know that one of my blog followers had selected my blog as one of her featured five for the Liebster Award.

Sabrina's Witchy Wonderland selected my blog, along with four others to bestow this award to.  Now I need to pass this on to five other bloggers with less than 250 followers and offer eleven facts about myself.

The idea here is to drive traffic via "word of mouth" to get other bloggers names out there.  Happy to take part in such an undertaking I'm really thrilled to participate.

So first here is my list

BoldlyGo - Blog about Trans* issues, disability and life.  The author rights with passion and vigor.

Good Green Witch - Blog about the state of our environment, from vegan-ism to deforestation.

The Cauldron - A Witch's Journey - From recipes, photography to spells, Stevie deliver's a delightful look at paganism and life.

I'm Not Hannah - Blog about life as a Pagan Mother, and the trial and tribulations associated with it.

Cordelia's Cauldron - Blog about being a Pagan Mom and Nana, I really like reading over this blog.

Now, I'm supposed to list eleven things about me you may not know.  I'm so very open here I'm not sure there are anythings about me you don't know. But here we go.


1. I'm a Counselor over at Pagan-Place.  I work the early morning at 6:00 am.
2. I now have a section on Kallan's Sunday Stew called "Sparkle and Shine".
3. I hate guns, but I support your right to have one.
4. I HATE biting into a raw onion.
5. I love love love Canyon Storm - by Gwain Nighthawk and Blake Octavian Blair
6. I have panic attacks.
7. I work 3 jobs.
8. My favorite color is purple.
9. I'm a Pisces.
10. I love Latin music.
11. I'm extremely shy.


Well there ya go.  There's my list.  I'll link over to the blogs above to let them know they've been selected.  If you get a chance to check them out I really recommend it.  Now I'll leave you with two of my favorite videos.

Good morning everyone!!  As day two rolls around and I'm ready to start my NaBloWriMo entry for Talented Tuesday.   Talented Tuesday will include anything that I find really cool about people who are really talented.  It maybe books, music or anything else that I think takes talent.

Today I'm going to start with music.  Music soothes the savage beast, and helps keep my bipolar in check.  I'm able to get work done, and even get a little creative myself provided I have had enough sleep.  The issue with that is that like most biploar people my brain goes and goes and goes.  I have to find things to help me calm down.

In January of this year my hubby had emergency surgery and the whole deal with my mother started.  I was going 900 miles an hour.  After attending a book signing with Blake Blair Octavian for his works in the 2012 Witch's Companion, we continued our daily coffee chats.  I was soon introduced to Gwain Nighthawk, musician and husband to Blake. and we all three began chatting away.  Gwain and Blake are wonderful people.  They are people I do indeed call my friends.  We've spent hours chatting online and was thrilled to have them visit me at Central NC Pagan Pride Days at the Sosanna's Closet tent.




I've been to several events where Blake and Gwain have preformed and they are amazing. Earlier this year they released a CD called Canyon Storm.  The day I got the cd I uploaded it to my iTunes and put it on my ipod.  It's been playing me to sleep for months now.  I adore this CD.  Due much encouragement, chats and hearing the lovely music on this CD I've even started to play myself.  I got the Sparrowhawk in A from High Spirits.  My net purchase will be from Tree of Life Designs.  Ed has some really lovely flutes there and he's local.

I've shared a few of my practices on YouTube, but instead of you hearing me mess around with this thing, why not hear the professionals.






So today for my Talented Tuesday I'm going to feature Blake, Gwain and their amazing cd Canyon Storm.  You can grab a copy on their website, facebook pages and at CDBaby.

See ya tomorrow for Witchy Wednesday!

Namaste & Blessed Be
Sosanna
