QuoteoftheDay 'Everybody wants love. The problem is: does everybody want to give love?' - His Holiness Younus AlGohar
That's one way to describe Zoe, and "tough as an old boot" is another. Even though she's 12 years old, and even though the vet had to practically stand on her for leverage to get her canine tooth out and bent his instrument in the process, even though she felt like she'd been hit by a bus yesterday and all last night and she and her poor old mum (me) got no sleep as a result, she felt obliged to shake it off this morning, put it all behind her, and drag herself out for a walk with us. There was absolutely no way Abby and I were getting out the door without her, sore jaw and all. After all, there were squirrels that needed telling off, blue jays that needed chasing (at half speed) and bushes that needed sniffing. Zoe decided that yep, that had hurt and it sucked, but she'd whimpered enough, and there were things to do, and people to see. I think I'll take a lesson from that.
But she's still putting on an extra sad face when I walk close to the bag of snausages, hoping for an extra. And it works...every time.
Alexis Houston is Whitney's half-sister. She is about to release her debut album "Speak Love - Life Lessons".
Don't ruminate... ...germinate.
I've spent about 47% of my life ruminating on stuff I can't change.
That was dumb.
Creating new things is a better place to put that energy.
All it takes is stopping yourself when you ruminate, and redirecting your attention to things you CAN change, make, or create.

“...in fighting the difficulties, the inmost strength of the heart is developed.”~Vincent Van Gogh (my birthday buddy!) Dedicated to two friends dealing with "issues" of the heart today.....
‘A formal invitation to God in a practical sense is to vacate your heart.’ - His Holiness Younus AlGohar
Good Lesson! Talking about problems solely for the sake of talking about them, will not lead to solutions. This only perpetuates, magnifies, and distorts the issue over time.

This is a colored pencil (blended with Gamsol) sketch of a concept @tamaralevitt of @calm spoke of in a guided meditation. The concept is that we can carry our calm with us if we learn certain meditation lessons. She's compared emotions to the ocean/sea before - how, above, the water can be turbulent and choppy, but if we submerge and not get caught up at the surface, we can find the calmness below which is always there.
I found that concept to be so helpful and loved it so much, I wanted to illustrate it. :)
