Welcome!
Welcome to our newly-posted blog, which replaces our Guestpage. This new blog is a liberating birthday present to myself, after a mighty fine first year of “launching” my book throughout Virginia. Pete & I traveled the state with an array of unorthodox signings at Wine Tasting Events and spay/neuter fund-raisers for SPCAs & animal shelters (see the Calendar/Events link to review upcoming signings and review those from 2006.) As The Kokopelli Journals grows, so do my plans to increase support of spay/neuter awareness & for fund-raisers for the same. We even made a two-week tour of Santa Fe & Taos, in September of 2006, for signings (one at the Santa Fe Humane Society) & to celebrate our 30th.
Dingo – later to become Kokopelli, “Mischief-maker of the west” –found in Monument Valley, September 30th, 2001
“Laura ‘Louise’ & the pup”… Today, Laura & Pelliat home, happy & bonded like glue.
I am closing down our controversial Guestpage with mixed feelings. Many friends & readers logged on & added their unabridged comments – which warmed our hearts no end – & gave this challenging journey of writing & publishing my first book a rounded perspective, from many points of view. But alas, all good things must end. Some create; others destroy. While we received many a thoughtful & caring comment, we were swallowed alive by continual & tasteless spamming from the bored souls “out there” with very little lives of their own (that we could tell…). So, in Kokopelli’s spritely spirit, we created a solution… Please feel free to add your own comments on this blog – knowing they will be reviewed before posting – and revisit us for continual updates. If you would like to review a variety of musings that other readers have made, please go to our Testimonials page & scroll on down to your heart’s content.

Congratulations on your new blog Laura! - I know you're going to have fun interacting with your viewers.

I am touching base to leave a post for all those affected by Monday's horrific bloodshed at Virginia Tech on Monday, April 16th. My tears & heartbreak join those from around Virginia, the United States, the World - all of us united in our humanity for one another & at a loss to understand the scope of what has happened.
Through the murders that have so terribly impacted my family's lives, I understand the depth of your pain, your anger, your sense of injustice & the questions that you ask, with no answers ever that will answer the 'why'.
Our hearts & prayers are with all of the families who lost a loved one that day, & to the friends of friends who died or were wounded. May I offer a word of advice from one who has been where you are now. Grief this intense cannot be dammed up inside of you for long. May you take one day at a time in your healing; be there for one another & truly listen with your heart; perhaps allow your thoughts & your pain to flow out of you in a journal; freely remember & share stories of your loved one(s); &, if needed, talk with a professional or the clergy - but please don't keep your emotions locked inside. I know from experience that they will find their way out, one way or another.
God Bless & hold you gently now, each & every one -
Laura & Peter Giannini/y & all of us here at WWW Publications
Hey Laura,
This is Darcy, I hope you don't mind, but I mentioned you and Pete on my blog about Cestari Farms this past weekend and I posted the link to the Kokopelli Journals page you have so that if anyone EVER reads my blog, you will hopefully get some traffic from there too.
Peace.
Darcy
