180 Degrees/How the Jellyfish Jumped Up the Mountain



When I heard the voicemail, I thought I was halucinating.  I stared speechless at my phone, unable to move or breathe for the fear that I might suddenly wake up from a dream.  But there it was, in black and white plain as day.

I decided to skip class, there was no way I was going to concentrate on whatever quiz or lecture was going on.  I drove around aimlessly just enjoying the surreal moment that just slipped its way into my life.  Little did I know what was next.


Cheryl and I had been at odds with each other for over a year.  I had asked her why there were no minorities on a TV show she had recently shot, and her defense was to block me from every social media site known to man.  While digging through my e-mail I found this.  These days, Cheryl's reputation had taken a sudden nose dive.  My seemingly innocent question sparked an inquiry that uncovered everything from fraud to lying underoath.  I was surprised she was even bothering to accept an invitation from a year ago.

Then, after I thought I was ready to calm down, and life was done spinning

I couldn't believe it! Diane Fornbacher is the editor-in-chief of my favorite cannabis activist magazine Ladybud.  We had discussed my writing an exposé, but an internship was straight out of my wildest dreams.

Touring the USA this summer, having my art in a gallery show, writing an exposé AND appearing in an international magazine?!?!

Pinch me...I'm dreaming
