    Ha, Yumi, you have a talent for humor. I imagine a pagan festival would be quite fun! Thanks for the laughs.

    Dearest Yumi,

    if I would stop wearing at least two pairs of wings to my work, I would cease to be. In fact, wings is all I have at all seasons. Why won't I celebrate all my wings this spring? Great Idea!!!!!!!!! I'll rather add an intent: My intent is to celebrate my wings!
