Our precious Littles crossed over this week. 🌈
The days have been quiet and heavy, but today I felt a tiny shift
a moment without tears.

Her memories are starting to glow, and the three magical years we had with her feel like a gift.
We were lucky beyond words to have her live with us. Two streets of neighbors are also mourning her loss.

As of today, I’m taking the rest of the year off from posting (except for my subscribers).
Just nesting, resting, and letting myself heal a little.
I’ll still share a few small things in my stories, but I’m worn out and heading into hibernation mode for a bit.

Studio update:
✓ A favorite abstract got adopted
✓ My heart grew and cracked at the same time
✓ Now I’m sketching faces and playing with softer lines
This season is all about curiosity, not perfection.

Started Wintering today and I’m only on page 36… already recommending it.

Why is it considered “lazy” to listen to your body when it needs rest? Winter is my favorite season for a reason , it’s slow, cozy, and restorative.

For the past 5 years I’ve fought hard for rest. But guess what? I’m not fighting anymore. This weekend (and every time my body asks), I’m choosing rest without guilt.
Rest isn’t a luxury , it’s a necessity.

Mings ….
For the algorithm.

I practice gratitude all year long, so Thanksgiving has never really been my thing. If it’s yours, I hope it fills you with joy.

We’ll cook a small turkey for our sons, but we usually keep it quiet. Last year it was Cajun chicken and a peaceful day at home. Sometimes we’re out of town and skip the whole thing.

The slides share why the holiday doesn’t sit right with me. I’d rather see these days become a simple fall break for everyone, no harmful history attached.

***Same for Columbus Day (why would we even try to keep the name )

A favor please. I know no one is seeing my posts. The algorithm is pushing out more AI content.

But if you see this please comment That MidLife MaMa Donna a few words to get her engagement going.

I made $9.00 so far. I don’t rely on it and I’m not a content creator. It’s hard work to be a content creator this is why I’m not one.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 A thanksgiving wish... I'm falling behind, I'm not meeting my weekly goals set by FB. My stats are dying, I have to stay above $100 dollars but it's dropping fast, so I'm calling on our community 😊. Hey friends! I'm blown away by the 31 new followers this week!

3 books in one week 😁

I didn’t rot in bed all day long. Just until the afternoon.
Then played.

Collage and pen.

Letting my teenager angst take over a bit.

Finished this book.

It’s one of those books that makes you want to do better, speak louder, and appreciate the freedoms we take for granted. A beautiful, necessary read💗
