What is the Eternal Curse to: Subject EC:B 1-Tori
Tori wasn’t born into truth, but she was raised into it. She knows all too well how the Eternal Curse has affected the people she cares about. To her the Eternal Curse is not being able to pretend that the world isn’t the way it really is.

Today I’m sharing a picture of an antique Victorian teapot and stand I posted on my tea pin board.
Today in my meditation I’m thinking about Eternal Curse and Full Moon, and I’m writing about: Why age?
It seems to have become a theme in my writing to feature important older characters. It was a few years ago that I truly grasped the concept of ageism and realized that I too had been practicing it. I’ve made efforts since them to not judge people by their age and set limitations upon them. The fact that older characters keep showing up in my stories and having a major impact is a byproduct of this. I never set out to use my writing as a platform, but when I look back at what I’ve written, many messages begin to pop out at me.
I like the idea that as we get older, we actually get better, but I do acknowledge that aging is a challenge. I don’t make it a point to have my older characters seem larger than life, but I do show that you can live a life worth living after a certain age, through my characters. In essence, I write these characters because I hope to someday be just like them. I don’t want to be an old lady siting in a rocking chair (even though rocking chairs rock) barely able to hold onto my knitting needles watching the world spin around me. I want to truly live every moment, right up to the end.
For those who are familiar with my Eternal Curse Series, Abraham is just the first of my senior characters to make an impact on this overall story. I hope to be able to share my, It’s Like the Full Moon, story with the world soon and give people a chance to fall in love with the many senior characters that make an impact in that story.

What is the Eternal Curse to: Subject EC:GA 5-Leo
Leo’s a simple man who always thought he could easily tell good guys from bad ones, but things change. He thinks the Eternal Curse is existing in a world with beings that aren’t human while trying to figure if and how to get along with them.
