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.

‘A formal invitation to God in a practical sense is to vacate your heart.’ - His Holiness Younus AlGohar
This proverb speaks a simple and merciless truth: sooner or later, a person’s nature shows.
Masks can change. Roles can be played. People can pretend for a while, and even convince others — but what someone truly is cannot be erased.
The “spots” are not decoration: they are the deep structure of character, instinct, and intention.
It is a proverb about human truth: certain patterns always return, like a signature.
Those who are loyal tend to remain loyal.
Those who are false eventually fall back into falsehood.
Those who harm often find a way to harm again — even after presenting themselves as “changed”.
This does not mean nobody can improve.
It means real change is not a statement: it is long, serious work — and it is rare.
And when that work is not real, reality resurfaces.
Like the leopard’s spots.
I create and publish these proverbs through digital images made with Artificial Intelligence not because AI can replace photography or “pure” art, but because I want to use a new medium as an expressive tool.
I do not become a servant of the machine: I use it.
I bend it to my own language to build symbols, to break patterns, and to remind that the truth about human beings — for better or worse — always leaves a mark.
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. :)

'Nothing is greater than that which harmonises thy soul with the nature of God.' - His Holiness Younus AlGohar
This image is based on the proverb: “He who digs a pit for others falls into it himself.”
It is an ancient saying, born from popular oral tradition and passed down through centuries, but it also appears in biblical wisdom literature, where the same idea is stated clearly: whoever prepares a pit or a trap for someone else will end up falling into it. This is why very similar versions of this proverb exist in many languages — it is a truth that crosses time and cultures.
Its meaning is simple and universal: those who set traps for others often become trapped in the consequences of their own actions. It is a human mechanism before it is a moral one: deception leaves traces, manipulation creates returns, and what is built to crush others can eventually become a danger for the one who built it.
In this image, the proverb becomes a scene: a woman has been thrown into a pit. The signs of what happened remain, along with the object abandoned mid-gesture: the shovel. The pit is not a final place — it is a trap built by someone. And the proverb reminds us that, sooner or later, that trap changes its target.
This image was created using Artificial Intelligence as an expressive medium, not as a replacement for art or photography. I use digital tools to build visual allegories and turn proverbs into images, but the control remains human: I choose, correct, intervene, and refine the work myself so that the scene stays credible and faithful to the meaning of the saying.
