Remember 2013? My mom passed away that year. The 3 things that got me through the roughest stuff were embroidery, Monster High dolls, and an ARG (alternate reality game) called “Find the Starlight”. The FTS group put in a lot of work figuring out the puzzles, and some of us got little trinkets that were to help as later clues. It was a great distraction, and we had a lot of fun.

The creator behind FTS and many other projects has a new thing again. It’s based in his Patreon, with access to a Discord server. Aside from not having a steady income, I can’t devote my brain-capacity to such a puzzle again. I’d love to recapture that old joy. But it was tough enough keeping up the first time.

I’m generally a lot more distant than I used to be, interacting online. I need that introspective time to myself. It’s not a bad thing; just different, just something that works better for me now.

If “Find the Starlight” ever got released as just a written story, without the puzzle, that’d be perfect for me right now. I’m still keeping my “Haines”-tagged key and my compass-coin. I promised to keep them safe.

So many exciting things today!

1. My radio show is going to be back on air starting this Thursday! If you actually know me IRL, send me a message and I’ll tell you how to listen.

2. I saw a naturopath about my eczema and she was wonderful and actually listened and made me a dietary plan to help combat the itchiness.

3. I found out I’m going to be receiving an element in the mail that contributes to the story of Find The Starlight! If you aren’t familiar with the story, I STRONGLY suggest you check it out. It’s been going on for more than a year, and I’ve been following right from the beginning. The progression of the story relies on the participation of members of the audience (as a collective) to put together the clues to pave the way forward. It’s magical and wonderful and a great combination of technology and real-world elements. The parts that have already occurred are summarized on the website, so you can join at any time. It began on Tumblr but has recently outgrown its original home and migrated. If you check out one site today, it should be this one.

Going through my Mother's house the last two weeks, I realized I had forgotten her love/obsession with owls. #Irememberfindthestarlight #findthestarlight

What will January 15th bring? I hope it's something with "Find the Starlight".
