Please note that I'm having a LOT of troubles with my mail currently. If you don't receive something from me please let me know and I'll absolutely re-send. I will let you know if i don't get something from you too. If you think its been a while and you've not yet been rated let me know, as it may be that I've not gotten your mail. I'm actively working with the post office and my apartment building to rectify the issue.

2022 Word of the Year: ACCEPTANCE

I'm a 41 year old single disabled queer femme. Mama to two teens. Writer, performer, educator. Lover of crows and ravens, the ocean, the moon, ferns and forest things, glitter, mermaids and sirens, dark purple, teal blue, mustard yellow, beautiful rocks/shells/sticks, and all things magical! Avid reader and art-er.

I joined and started 'swapping' as I really, really love both sending and receiving "happy mail!" I feel like the art of mail has been lost to many, and for me there's not much more lovely than opening up my mailbox and seeing something that isn't a bill or an ad! I look forward to swapping with you!

For child-based swaps: My child at home is 15 years old and loves cats, turtles, and rainbows. Other likes include D&D, fantasy books, and Minecraft.

NOTE Due to my disability and chronic health issues, I on occasion have things unexpectedly come up that impact a swap getting out on time (either symptoms or an unexpected medical procedure being needed, etc). If this happens I will contact you as soon as possible and let you know. I appreciate the partners who have been understanding of this in the past,.
