Marrying my best friend
There are moments that define greater experiences. Little moments, like setting the coffee for the next day, doing the difficult chores that keep the household running, even making the bed after both loving parties have left for the day. These are the daily experiences that I love that have me exited to marry my best friend. He proposed...my beautiful boyfriend got down on one knee, at the beach, and asked his captain, me, to be his for the rest of our lives. And those daily chores, those little moments, became mountains that I know and love as the backdrop to our beautiful life. We live a truly blessed life. I'm an author, a professional illustrator and graphic designer... a truly powerful woman in charge of a truly powerful and amazing future.

Because that is how I was trained to respond. How else could I manage if not for the past I wear so strongly on my shoulders. As plain as day, these are the truths I carry.
Burying the Hatchet
Yesterday was a trying day, but with my clan I felt I could face it with dignity and love.
Yesterday I buried a medium-sized hatchet into a broken, hopeless looking couch in the drizzle of a rainy spring day. I shouldered the weight of the loss of both my and my clan's pet losses as we buried our family under the tree by their house.
Yesterday I shoveled dirt and soil to plant flowers to show growth, and healing and love of the natural world. I prayed for peace for everyone involved and sent as many good vibes as I could into the world, like a dandelion sends it's seedlings.

My friend's West Highland Terrier was born on the same day as me as well, the same year, so we were the exact same age.
Our family's best friend ran away for a day as one final adventure, then came back so we would appreciate her last few weeks.
