Wow... I was shocked to learn from fellow blogger, DC that the ever feisty blogger, Nikki (blog-author of Indigo Trails) has passed onto "the other side". Brother Dyssturbed Mined shared the details of the cause of her death.
Thanx DC for the memorial service information. If you are a blogger in the ATL area - please attend, if possible:
Nikki Harris Memorial Service. Gregory B. Levett & Sons 4347 Flat Shoals Parkway Decatur, GA 30034 404-241-5656 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Saturday, September 5, 2009
To be honest I'm really feeling some kind of way about the loss of this blog-sistah. I never met her & I didn't always like her raw writings, but she made me FEEL something EVERY TIME I read her work and for that I'm thankful. Nikki is the first member of my extended blog-family that I have lost. She seemed too young & too vibrant to be gone already. Of course, I'm not The Creator & have no "say" in the time that anyone spends on Earth. All that to say: I, too will miss Nikki - a woman I never met, but was touched by just the same.

She was too wonderful a person to not have feelings about her passing. She is one of a kind. She will be missed. Wish I had the opportunity to meet her in person.
I am with you Cap. I loved her swagger. We talked a great deal about her writing something for PChats...she said I could repost from her blog. She was an original and I liked her a lot!
This is tough and it will take a moment for me to grasp.
i did a tribute post about her today.
sometimes we underestimate the power of the words that we write. it's funny how she made us feel a certain closeness to her yet we never met. she will be missed
Echoing Kyle. I remember when I first started blogging years ago. Somehow Nikki found me and thought enough of my stuff to put me up on her spot along with several other newcomers. That was my introduction to blogworld and blogworld's introduction to me.
Her perspective and creative way of discussing even the most mudane things was deep, thoughtful, insightful, hilarious and at times, breathtaking. I never read anything she wrote without thinking, "Wow."
Thanks for the opportunity to say a word Cap.
Sending deepest sympathy to you and her fans..
2nd68 - i agree w/ u & wish I could meet MORE of my blogfam - like U:-)
Babz - yea, it is a shock & will take some time to grasp fully.
