“Day 29: The things you want to create also want to be created through you. What you are longing to bring into the world is also what the world is longing for you to bring it.” From The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest.

Peace, joy, love, beauty. ✨

Eyes that look into your heart!

He has brought a much missed spark into our home! Thanks for all your good thoughts sent out to the universe! 🩵

We are all bonding with lightning speed! 💜

Completely, utterly, truly! 💕

Aww, it’s lucky for all of us!🍀

A sweet little mixed breed senior dog cuddles up on a blanket on the couch.

Yesterday we adopted this sweet senior pup from the city shelter. His first 10 years are a mystery. He spent time as a stray, until a kind person brought him for help. Shelter staff gave him medical & dental care, a warm bed, a bath, and a full belly. He’s a total love bug! We named him Lucky.🐞❤️

I would love to read this in 2027! (and it may be the submission call that inspires me to write again, after a very long hiatus.) 🪺

Gina, you come in like a soft bird and offer words to carry me. Thank you, my friend. 💕

Do you have room on the couch for one more? 💚🐶📚 Congratulations, Melissa!

Holding onto all the shared hope, and patience for things to unfold in their own right time! 💙

I already loved her…but it was complicated for the rehoming family. 💔

On the same day, after five months, the universe said no to this dog, and no to the poem…but it said yes to faith and trust, and yes to this November blackberry, ripe and sweet in its own perfect hour.

Awww. 🥹 This made me feel emotional and hopeful. Thank you, Sue. ❤️

Spent time with my Mom on her 86th birthday. Cheered the World Series game with my brother. Felt grateful for autumn leaves, for life in this moment. Opened my grieving heart and offered to adopt a dog in need….waiting to hear if the Universe says yes.

A warm hour of storytelling! Still thinking about the pieces shared. So proud to be part of this heart-full literary journal! 💜

What a sweet memory to hold for me, thank you Jenny. 🩵🩵🩵 There will be another pup in my future to love. Somehow she’ll find me.

🩵🌸🌼

I will enjoy each and every one! 🩵✨

“Making money is, on its own terms, totally meaningless, an insufficient pursuit for the complex and decaying world we live in…

“Scientists, naturalists, essayists, and poets are offering us a vision, a means with which to see and understand the splendor and sacredness of life.”

— Paul Hawken

In honour of my sweet pup in the beyond…I’m finding my way back to the sea. I will keep a whimsy thread here. ✨🌊 This is today’s flotsam.

The best. 🩵🩵

The sweet little painting I saw at a market, on my last day in France, that now hangs in my heart.
