I am currently in the process of migrating the content shared here to a series of new websites hosted at shirleytwofeathers.com.
As you explore this site, you may find links to a "page not found" instead of something cool and magickal. For this I apologize. I am very working hard behind the scenes to restore those pages along with a link to their homes on my new website where they can be viewed in full.
