HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

This will be me tomorrow evening after eating all day :-).

I know I am a day early, but I will be too busy cooking and

eating tomorrow to post. I have been a bad blogger and have not posted much

lately at all, I will do better next week and fill you in on what

I have been up too. Have a lovely Thanksgiving, if you live where

it is celebrated and if not Happy Thursday :-). XOXO

P.S.I almost forgot the most important part of tomorrow, gratitude! There is so much to

be grateful for. I have a huge list, but the most important part of that list, is family and friends and my

four animal boys. What are you grateful for today?

What do men want?

Men are all the time asking what women want,
I thought I would ask the same question of the men.
I know I don't have many male readers, but I expect to
hear from both of you :-). I have been thinking of this
for a long time.
I ask this because most (not all) of
the crazy, high maintenance women I know have men, and
the wonderful, sweet women I know don't (there are exceptions).
You know how men are all the time saying that woman like bad boys, well
I think it is true of men too, they like bad women.
I am pretty sure looks don't matter much in this equation, as most of
the women I know are all good looking. I lump myself in
with the wonderful, sweet women. I fail miserably at
relationship. I don't mind this so much because I am a loner,
but would like to one day have a mate :-). So, guys help me out.
What do you want your dream woman to be like? Since I have very
few male readers, any of you, male or female that has advice, please give it to me.
I probably should not post right before bed, I tend to ramble
and ask silly questions :-).
Sweet dreams. XOXO

Life is weird and crazy on top

A photo of my other three boys, Mr.B, Max and Spike

taking a snooze.

I don't have much to say tonight except that something

happened yesterday(too personal to share on my blog or

with most of my family and friends, so don't ask) that should

have left me feeling very sad, and it did for a few hours, but

the really weird thing is, I woke up this morning feeling very

light and free and happy. Sometimes what you think you want,

is not really what you want, you know what I mean? I basically

got a no from the Universe, and it turned out to be perfect.

I hope I am making sense, sometimes I can be too abstract :-).

Please share any stories about when you did not receive something

you wanted and realized you were happy about it, or when you got

what you wanted and did not like it? XOXO

Random thoughts...

This is a photo of my wonderful dog Zeus on the run :-).

I have a few things to report. First I had a couple of lovely, strange

things happen that I realized Coyote was alerting me to. Remember

the coyote story a few posts back? Whenever I see a coyote it means

that something extraordinary is about to happen, and this time was no

different. However I am sorry to say I cannot tell you about it as it involves

people who may read my blog and some parts of my life must stay private.

I just wanted you to now that I decoded the message :-).

As to other news: My Esty shop is not getting many visitors, any Esty shop

owners with any advice on how to get customers, please feel free

to pass it on to this beginner. I am not too upset by this lack of visitors, I realize

these things take time.

As of late I have been working with energy. We waste energy anytime we

judge or obsess on things like someone who did us wrong. I thought I was

pretty good about this stuff, but have noticed lately my poor attitude.

I took steps this week to change this around. Now an alarm goes off whenever

I find myself doing said behaviour. Wow. I found out I do it much more than

I am aware of. Imagine all the energy I will save! Perhaps I will gather enough

energy to make my dreams come true.

Life is too short to waste one minute on feeling blue. I confess I have been

blue for a couple weeks, but there has been a shift and I am glad I woke

up out of my stupor.

Happy Tuesday. XOXO

New cards and ornaments in my Esty shop

I finally got some new Holiday stuff put on my Esty shop.

Here is a small preview. Let me know what you think.

I just finished the last of my ornaments which will be fired

this week and hopefully on my Esty site by the end of Nov.

Next year I will start much earlier :-).

I am off to relax, read and play. Happy Sunday everyone.

Dream

I don't write about my dreams much because
I think you won't be interested, but this dream
has a message for us all. In my dream an angel
appeared in the form of a black woman in dreadlocks.
She smiled and twirled around with her arms outstretched
and said to me "Do what brings you joy and happiness,
do what you love".
This past two weeks I have been working on photos of
new work for the shop, but I have done no art, none!
I think this was a message to get to it :-).
I am still working on coyote's message, but I think
it has something to do with hope, and love.
Happy weekend everyone. XOXO

Coyote

This photo taken by Geraint Smith.

I saw a coyote while running this morning. It has been at

least a year and a half since I last saw my old friend.

I never told you all the story about how a coyote came in

to the gallery where I worked a couple years ago. It was afternoon

around four o'clock on a late Summer's day. I was sitting at the

computer in the office and I heard the ringer go off to alert me

that someone was there. A few seconds later a coyote stood

staring at me. Now the really amazing thing is that this coyote,

not only had to come to town to see me, he had to go through a

closed in courtyard and through two rooms with small doors.

I talked to a man who knows a lot about coyotes and he said a

coyote would never enter a space like that, well mine did :-).

Coyotes have always brought me messages by their appearances.

Sometimes I get the message, sometimes I don't. I have been thinking

hard about what that coyote was trying to tell me this morning.

It feels important is all I know for sure.
