This Week’s Healing Fairy Alphabet card: F

F is for Fear Monster.

Many fears are made up of illusion. Maybe what’s underneath that scary monster is really just a pile of leaves.

Peek at W is for Weeds card

It’s still in progress, but I thought I’d share my process of birthing a fairy card.

I can see now what places need work and what I want to change

Sketchbook Saturday: fancy little drawings

I’ve been working on a few books right now including the sequel to HELP! I’M SENSITIVE, YOUR TURTLE SHELL. Designing the book is just as fun as writing the book for me. I’ve been playing with little essay headers.

Lots of crankiness in the world–we need this

I am noticing a lot of crankiness and hot tempers in the world lately. It’s probably the unusual heat plaguing areas not used to it (we’re used to it) that is upsetting everyone’s Pitta. Last week I related to it, as I was hormonally challenged, so I do understand. But we do need more light to fill up that darkness. It’s too easy to get lost in it and then we think we are the dark parts! So, I bring you this:

Aren’t they pretty? Nothing cheers my soul like finding a pretty flower in my yard I didn’t know was there!

And this! Finding a face on the rock elder beneath my feet.

A stray butterfly flying by my head brings me such joy; such delicate beauty.

You see, lots of yuck can happen in your world. Believe me I KNOW. But there is a small little part in our heart that survives, and it notices the beauty and the wonder in the world. It loves the everyday magic in the passing butterfly. It’s like a good seed planted there, and everyday we are handed bad seeds to grow–through the media, other people, life.  I say,

NURTURE THE HELL OUT OF THOSE GOOD SEEDS!

Reminds me that one acorn can grow an oak tree. Just one!

(You will have to excuse me. I have just finished watching a marathon watching of MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO and I’m feeling quite nice.)

And now for something completely different…

Because my “thing” is art coupled with mini lessons, I’ve started Sketchbook Saturday. The best way to hear your animals with animal communication? Through your love connection and LISTENING. Quiet your mind to hear their voices.

Sarah teaches me patience every day. She reminds me to SLOOOOW DOWN or I will be just bumping around into walls.

My parakeets teach me to always have fun, and to ask for what I need even if it’s with a loud ACK! ACK! ACK!

Speedy helps me practice spotting and feeling energy. We often play hide and seek.

What do your animals teach you?

Fairy Uplifters

When you need to lift your spirits up, up, here’s my suggestions.

Grab for something squooshy and soft.

Look for the little miracles in the yard.

Eat pie.

Be creative and make something fabulous.

Think of pumpkins. You can’t be sad when you think of pumpkins.

Happy Animal Mom Day!

I am so deeply grateful for my animal “children.” They are so loyal, loving, understanding and kind. They have healed my heart.
