Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Thanks Arcadia and Sasha for your sentiments and replies! My other dog is a "Medical Alert" service dog who is very sensitive to my health issues (or anyone else in the family). He never steps on me, leans on me, jumps on the bed... but is very acutely aware of how I am feeling (my blood sugar, if I...

“IT AIN’T OVER ’TIL IT’S OVER” (Yogi Berra) Journal Post, 6-20-17, [I don’t know where to start…(at the beginning Soo!)] It was a lovely weekend in Ruidoso spent with our friends.

Falling down, wounded
I heal
Constant pains
I heal

A wise woman once said (Pema Chodren) "When you feel like shit, say... I feel like shit!" I write when I'm angry, sad, happy, depressed... the whole gamut it is part of my healing process to acknowledge my feelings to give space to my grief to spend the day off and nurse my wounds... Nada wrong with...

If only one makes a healing jam it is still a salvation being negative thinking negative negates despair, alas! wanting more, alas! what more is necessary? there are only 5 white rhino's left on earth and we worry 'bout no thing of import! the only way to heal is to heal ourselves put out healing vi...
