Thank you, my puppuh, for showing me my strength is more powerful than my brokenness. That even the most shattered hearts can be rebuilt. It is because of you that I am ready to leave my past with all its pain behind and take only the tools I’ve collected from it with me moving forward. I will not invite any more pain in…
Malcolm has predatory aggression.It’s not something that can be trained out of a dog.Maybe early on as a puppy it could have been redirected, but not this late in his development.He probably was left in a yard for the main portion of his life because his first owners didn’t know how to handle it, and his behaviors deepened and he developed stereotypical behavior…
As an adoptee and as irritating as it is for me to compare dog adoption to human adoption, I will admit, there is a lot of common ground if your heart goes into it the same.Whether I am projecting in a way that is unhealthy for Malcolm to endure or possibly beneficial, he is showing me a perspective that I needed to see.Adoption is…
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for this dog.I’ve tried everything to give him a happy life.I even built this van for us so we could be able to go on walks and he could have as much time out in the world as any other dog.But yesterday, after 4 nights in the Canadian wilderness…
I got the dog because I couldn’t get out of bed - the worst reason to get a German Shepherd, but it worked. A week after picking him up from a shelter in California, the only shelter that would adopt to someone living in a studio apartment, I immediately went from paralyzing depression to 6th gear. I called him my aggressive anti-depressant. He quickly…
We are the sum of infinite butterfly effects...generations of slight chances and subtle moves leading all the way back to the birth of the universe. Just think, our next tiniest move could send off a multitude of new butterflies to paint a completely different future.
What I love so much about making art is that there is no wrong way to do it. It is a never ending new frontier with every which direction waiting to be dreamt, created, and explored. It’s tapping into the imagination and bringing it to life. For me, making art is…
This new style is a wanderlust x spirit bracelet hybrid, and they are made to be fitted. Here is a video on how to accurately measure your hand and wrist to be sure they fit. After you take your measurements and you are still not confident in how you took your measurements, it is safer to go up in size than going down...
Take me to a world without instructions, without rules, no right or wrong, no borders, no followers, no leaders, no power, no greed, just boundless freedom and living by pure intuition, wild spirit, and the natural flow of the Earth. Art is the closest thing.
A useful tool sometimes used in therapy for emergency relief is a method called The Miracle Question. It’s a useful tool for when we are overwhelmed with hopelessness and lose sight of what we want…we might even discover something we want out of life we never even realized.
Art is a wonderful way to process and work through whatever life throws at you. For those just getting started or are waiting out a creative low tide, here are some ideas to get up and running:
