A Year & a Day of Living the Old Mermaid Way

Beginning October 31st:

I have decided to go on a year-long pilgrimage. Actually a year and a day-long pilgrimage. A Year and a Day of Living the Old Mermaid Way. What does that mean for me? Well, we'll see. I love the way the Old Mermaids make their way in the world: with class and grace and truth and healing—and beauty. They walk and play and dance and love and swim in beauty, always.

Here's what I'm bringing along for my pilgrimage: I've got my The Old Mermaids Book of Days and Nights for reference all day long. And I also have two of the journals: one lined and one unlined. (I know, I know: that's a lot of Old Mermaids books.) Beginning on Hallows, I will write in the lined journal. I also hope to sketch on the unlined one every day. I'll use the daily quotes to inspire and inform me each day: to help me live the Old Mermaid way while defining what that means. I'll also probably reread The Church of the Old Mermaids, maybe skim The Fish Wife, and flip through The First Book of Old Mermaids Tales.

I will post about my journey. I don't know how often. I hope I'll do it once a week, but I make no guarantees. You are welcome to join me. You can get The Old Mermaids Book of Days and Nights: A Year and a Day Journal and come along with me on this journey. (Or use your own journal. You won't have access to the daily quotes but you can flip through your copy of COTOM or just dip in here on this blog.) There's always something beautiful to see and read here. AND if you do join me, I hope you'll post some of your insights along the way here. I'll make a space where you can do that. Just check back here now and again.
