Hanging in the Balance

Keeping Balance in your life is not like walking a tightrope, but more like sitting on a pendulum (or a tire swing!) You needn’t be tense, watching your own every move, making sure you don’t go over one way or

The Dark Style

three graces: goth, emo, lolita

Paypal One-Time Donation – or – Become a patron on Patreon!

Patreon is a service to provide funding for creators of all kinds. Donations for my blogs and creations are (currently) a per-project basis. Be sure to browse and find your favorite creators so you can not only send recurring funds, but keep in touch and get exclusive insights and incentives.

Why, you may ask, am I asking for donations? Please consider that I spend hours wording my posts and creating original artwork to enhance their meaning. If you’ve enjoyed and hopefully felt enlightened (or endarkened?) by what you’ve read, and if you’d like to see more articles, I would truly appreciate your funds and your energy. Also, I would like to produce some books in the future, both of these kinds of articles and fiction stories, and your funding would help this immensely.

Please note, I wish I did not have to say this as I think it should be obvious, but all images and writing are copyrighted to me, Rachel H. White, and no one has my permission to reuse them for any purpose. All illustrations on this blog are my original work. If you would like a print copy for display with credit to me, I’d be overjoyed to provide, but they are not for re-use.
