With a heavy heart, today I helped Shelby be free from her worn-out, little body. It was a difficult decision to make, but I knew it was the right one. Yesterday morning the vet called and said I should bring her home because she wasn’t getting any better there. We all hoped that […]

Considering all of the pet trauma I’ve been going through, I thought it would be a good time to do a journal page on gratitude. I did it this weekend. It felt good to work in my journal, and to think about all of the things I have to be grateful for–including the wonderful 11 […]

Tonight, while I was listening to my weekly tele-conference class “Your Best Life in the Arts” with Eric Maisel, I doodled in my sketchbook and took in what Dr. Maisel was talking about.
