Friends,

Cutting to the chase for those short-attention-spanners looking to slim down: PLEASE do yourself a favor and check out my new friend Sierra Goodman’s website that is dedicated to helping people alter their self-image and shed the old heavy self for the new LIGHT person that’s always been within you. The REAL you. her fab website is iam-iam-iam.com  She’s also on Facebook and Twitter and you can contact her there through links on her website.

i’m pretty new to facebook and twitter, having written and illustrated Lordflea for a couple years now. The world of social media is pretty intriguing, as long as one doesn’t take it too seriously, or get into it as an addiction. I’m meeting some mind-blowing folks, and expanding my interests in surprising ways.

one of the cool people I’ve friended on FB (don’t ask me how it happens, it just does!) is Sierra Goodman. She’s interested me since I first saw her posts, usually about positive, uplifting stuff that I’m into, but also about Costa Rica, where she lives most of the time (in Drakes Bay in Puntarenas) and also because she works with whales and dolphins. Speaking as a reincarnated dolphin (I kid you NOT! un huh) she’s very cool.

Here’s a tribute I’ve painted to my brethren:

Travels in the Abyss

Meanwhile, back at the Lordflea Ranch, I’m wildly enthralled in the final-final-FINAL last edit of “Heart Island” my unpublished novel (thank goodness!) and soon will be sending it off to the Bellwether Prize. The reason I’m glad I haven’t published “Heart Island” is, one of the requirements for this literary competition is that the entrant MUST be unpublished, and …. most delightful to me …. the entrant must be a socially-engaged novel. This is what “Heart Island” is all about … plus much much more. Soon you’ll be able to find out all about this story of a spiritual seeker who travels to the abyss herself, in search of the Light. check out the first couple of chapters at Heart Island Story, its own blog.

So my friends, that’s what I’m doing? Hope you’re all enjoying life and being good, or at least being creative at whatever mischief you’re up too.

Don’t forget to check me out on my Twitter, as I send out mini-posts twice a day now. I’m twitter.com/tezalord and of course, i’m on Facebook, too at facebook.com/tezalord.

cheerio and sending you LIGHT, to keep light (even if you’re slim!)

Lord Flea
