all is well. I was on a prolonged job every day for over 2 months - and then - a few days ago I was robbed but all was recovered from 3 local pawn shops.
I had phenomenal police assistance, still do, and am setting up a sting for the guy's arrest now. And no. I am not joking.

I'll be OK, later. LOL

I had the awful experience of someone coming in my apartment--years and years ago early 80's in CA--
and robbing me. Never recovered anything. But the sense of violation was horrible. I had to move.

Glad to hear police have been helpful. So happy to hear things were recovered.

Hang in there.

I'm good. Learning a lot. And ever so grateful I got lucky enough to get back everything.
It's a heck of a story. I wish I were a writer

and photo. That is the kind of sky I was hoping for on the 17th. We did not get anything near that pretty blue but the sky let itself be interesting instead of plain gray at least.




So sad and scary to hear about you getting robbed but it is good that you are getting your things back. I hope yout sting works and they catch the bastard. Check to see if they have a victim witness coordinator throught the state's attorney's office once they catch the bastard. They are very good at walking you through & supporting you through the court process.

he is crafty and a truly bad boy. The pawnshop where he took a lot of my jewelry is prosecuting too, they said that particular haul was the largest loss they had so far this year. My Mom had left me a few baubles, no money, but it glittered and was pretty. I'm so grateful I did not lose these things and
I am so fortunate.
I was disoriented at the above mentioned shop, as I was leaving, and the people in line looked at me in what I thought was a really strange way and I wondered if my nose was running or something. Then I realized it was because I was accompanied by 3 very serious officers...and they were solicitous to me.

The good thing about this occurrence is that it gave me the answer to something I had turned over to the Universe to solve, and it was a plain as day response just in an unorthodox way, and now I know which decision to make.

I hope very much we catch him, he is a heroin addict and alcoholic and a danger to society.

The blue sky was a wonder to me as well.

ok and that you are getting things back, specially anything from you mom. The emotional connection is far more important than the monetary and well addicts don't get that once they are consumed by their addiction. If any of this that happened was the answer to your question from the universe, ask that the next answer be a bit softer on the soul. Keep in mind you do have your artistic talents to use as you work your way through the ordeal. Sometimes it helps more than a person realizes.
