gosh. didn’t sleep a wink. partly due to the whole “we found something in your tumor” call yesterday. but mostly because the people upstairs keep strange hours (and seem to need to Hoover/vacuum at three AM which means speed or its modern derivative is probably involved)
and then i checked out my horoscope (sun in pisces, rising sign capricorn – hence the ability to wear Brooks Brothers when required, moon in scorpio – yeah, i heard what that means ;) and found out just what those pesky eclipses are up to. team gloria has many sources in the celestial information realm but our favorite today is Shelley Von Strunckel - practical, to the point and deeply witty when its required. do say team gloria sent you…..she also tweets here @vonStrunckel (and we tweet here @teamgloria_)
About teamgloria
I used to make my living from writing. And then it all stopped and so I went and did something else, part of which entailed a whole new look from Brooks Brothers (it wasn’t really me, but it was necessary). But a decade later I started to write again (during nights and weekends and frustrated lunch-times and long haul business travel) and one of the things I wrote (or came to me – as I do believe in the whole Muse concept) was a character called Gloria.
Gloria was a trainee angel and sat “up there” waiting for her first assignment. To occupy the hours she should have been studying humans and their foibles, she spent her time enjoying the new celestial movies-on-demand channel and became obsessed by Doris Day. So you can imagine the drama that unfolded when she came to Earth. Quite a shock to the system. But Gloria was determined to see Manhattan through the eyes of a vintage Doris Day movie and something magical started to happen – to me too.
Because I started to do the same thing and life became easier (and then I got Tobias the tumor which changed the trajectory, for now).
There are a lot of glorious people, places & things that help me get through my day – they make my life great – and so I call them “team gloria” (although they don’t usually know that). So I thought I’d start documenting them, and looking out for new people, places & things on a daily basis, and sharing them with you (whomever you are – do say hello. Oh, and tell me who your team gloria is :-)
