A "surprise" story and this one came with poetry!
Surprise! Surprise! First surprise: This is my first story that came with poetry. The second surprise is that it's in haiku form!
Hi Laramie!!!! Hi again!
WOW! I love your story and especially your rockin' country haiku style cowboy poetry!!!! Although I love poetry, I'm not particularly taken with country and even less with cowboy, but your poem is heartfelt and truthful and to do it in haiku form and make it flow like a melody is a gift! It's simply goes straight to the heart with sounds, like spurs on plank floors in patterned rhythm, visuals, a letter falling out of a pocket and even smells, like Guadalupe's eggs cooking with homemade tortillas! Thanks for putting some new found appreciation cowboy in my life!
How long have you been writing to make it sound so delectable and easy? Do you have a book of poetry available? website?
Yes, you can have the bracelet for $00 so you can feel protected on stage. I am relieved to know it will have a home of honor, art and break a leg presence for you. Could I ask for a favor, since we are negotiating? I would love a picture of you wearing the bracelet with it's fraternal twin, perhaps on stage giving you extra strength? It would be for an update for my blog, as a recovering hoarder. It's such a peaceful relief knowing where some of my things go and seeing them in their new life gives me a sense of how I can turn my hoarding into a good thing as I figure out how to break my chains.
Sorry, this is so long, but it's such a happy surprise to find this email this blue morning and I'm so excited about it!
Let me know and I'll change the price for you, as well as reserve it.
YOUR NEW FAN!

Laramie Crow wrote me back saying she'll send a picture of her wearing the twin bracelets on stage and that she's been writing for a life time! She's also working on a website to share her poetry. I look forward to both!
Her country rockin' cowboy haiku poetry really inspired me to keep an open mind about all forms and subjects! It brought back memories too!
When I was in third grade my teacher encouraged me to write haikus. In short, a haiku is a Japanese poem and is usually three lines of 17 syllables of 5 -7- 5. Read more about here on wiki. The longer version is the Tanka, both are excellent ways to introduce young students to poetry and syllables.
Anyways, my third grade teacher had me writing haikus and gave me a stack of index cards to write them on. When I showed her that I was done, we sat together and took turns reading many out loud, then she nodded, looked on the backs and told me to write some more! I loved my third grade teacher and writing haikus over and over was so fun!!! I wish I had those 200 haikus now!
Saying Goodbye: I couldn't resist the story with poetry with a promise of an update with photos. Interesting how it became part of the negotiations. Plus my -her- our bracelet has an almost identical twin on her other wrist! That's just icing on the cake that I've gotta see!
Although I do miss my Native American jewelry collection very much in my heart. My head and my body knows how allergic I am when I wear them, so instead there's a little joyous celebration in my heart knowing that it's going to be a "protector" bracelet for someone out there that I'm connected to in some small and big hearted ways!
I have said "goodbye" to all the bracelets shown on my wrist, except for one. The largest sand cast one next to Laramie Crow's bracelet is still available and it's listed here at HoarderRehab. Most of my Native American jewelry collection has sold, but the rest is here and as a reminder to self, I have several more to list. Just click on the highlighted links.
What I Learned:
1. Although I still have insomnia and the California heat is compounding it, I don't miss my Native American jewelry as much as I used to or at least I can say that today. It does seem that my insomnia influences my ups and downs and wishy washiness towards my attachment to my hoard, but how much, I still do not know.
2. Now I know why I have a penchant for index cards and pick them up and down at office supply stores. I used them through high school and college when I studied languages and other new vocabulary to memorize too!
Thank you Laramie Crow for inspiring me in so many different ways! I think I know what to do with the next pack of index cards I find in my hoard! Break a leg at your poetry reading and I look forward to an update with photos!
Thank you Etsy for all the connections to inspiring, motivating and kind Etsy buyers who's stories I've been receiving lately seem to be turning my hoard into a good thing!

What do you use as a symbol for mystical mysterious "protection" or good luck? As a recovering hoarder I used to have many different "things", but now I'm using positive affirmations.
