I tend to paint when I am trying to process emotions I have no words for. I painted this yesterday and just took my time with it, putting my grief on the canvas. I'm calling this GRIEFITI ✨️ Acrylic paint on a 15X30 gallery canvas and it was done with pallet knives. #art #artist #abstract

Anakin says: "Good morning, Daddy! What are we going to do today? Let's be cute and fabulous!" #Anakin #supercute #fabulouscat

There is joy to be found today. Each new day brings a chance to find the light. The light shows us what matters in our lives because we carry the light within. Try to look upward to see the sun and feel the light on your skin. ✨️ Card from The Bonestone and Earthflesh Tarot. #tarot #joy #light

This afternoon, I found a way to talk to my spirit so that I could find a way to grieve and find a way to move forwards. I need to allow myself to grieve and give myself time to heal before I can start a new cycle. ✨️ Cards from The Trionfi Della Luna Tarot and The Deviant Moon Tarot. #tarot

At the very least, I'm a very enthusiastic painter. At least my nail polish matches the paint. 🎨 #painter #paint #artist

I had fun painting this morning. I wanted to use paint colours that I would normally not use together. I love how vibrant this turned out. I am calling it FLOWER AND FLAME. What do you see? ✨️ Acrylic on a 10X10 Canvas and done with a pallet knife. #art #artist #abstract

This was naptime. Anakin had taken to lying on me and purring loudly whenever I lie down for a nap lately. #Anakin #nursecat #naptime

Anakin says: "Good morning, Daddy! Are you resting? Did you have a good sleep? Let's play! Daddy, wake up! We have so much to do today!" #Anakin #supercute #fabulouscat

Rise up today. You will have to stand up for yourself against all those that want to hold you down. Don't conform to what they want. You know your own spirit. Trust its fire to show you the right direction and hold your sword high. You got this!✨️ Card from The Bonestone and Earthflesh Tarot. #tarot

I am so thankful for acupuncture. I was a mess emotionally today and have been crying for most of the day. My acupuncturist Dr. Romina Tahari was able to give me the balance I need to grieve without being lost in the storm. Thank you Romina! ✨️ #acupuncture #balance #bliss

It's funny. When you know something is coming, it still hurts when it happens. Thankfully, I was able to find comfort in the memories that I hold within me. They are still with me in those memories and alive in my heart. ♥️ Cards from The Lubanko Tarot and Trionfi Della Luna Tarot. #Tarot #grief #joy

I did my workout with Anakin! Anakin says: "Come on, Daddy! We got this AND we're fabulous!" #Anakin #supercute #fabulouscat

I went for a walk after I learned of my friend Dava's passing. At one point, a Robin flew down into the tree closet to me. I stood there talking to it. It then flew down in front of me and flew upward to another tree, chatting to me. I think that was her way of saying goodbye. #Robin #trees #sun

The earth is a little less bright today. My good friend Dava Gamble passed away last night. She was a writer, a bard, a friend and my sister of the heart. She was a light. I will miss you, Dava, but I know that you are looking down on us. Rest well. I am sending sparkles to you ✨️

Anakin says: "Good morning, Daddy! Morning cuddles are the best. Can you make sure to get that spot near my ear? That would be great!" #Anakin #supercute #fabulouscat

You are being called to look back. Find a cherished memory from your past when you felt loved and safe. Sometimes, we have to look back to give ourselves a reset so that we can look forward to where we are going. Take that memory with you as you move forwards. ♥️ Card from The Felt Tarot. #tarot #joy

Change comes in many different ways. I am being reminded that I need to let change hapen. I need to take a breath, let it happen. I can't worry about things before they happen. I can't dread the future before it has happened. 💀 Card from The Tarot Chimera. #Tarot

My Uncle Davd received a medal for bravery from The Governor General and my Wonder Mom and I were able to attend! It was so incredible and I am beyond proud of my Uncle. My Mom and I even met the Governor General, Her Excellency Mary Simon. #soproud

Anakin says: "Good morning, Daddy! Why did you get out of bed? The bed is sooo comfy! You're missing out, Daddy!" #Anakin #supercute #fabulouscat

There are those around you that try to hold you back or hold you down. You are worth so much more than those who don't believe in you. Embrace your self worth and shine. You are amazing, please don't forget that. 🤘Card from The Bonestone and Earthflesh Tarot. #tarot

There is balance in all things. I have been working on my memoir and it covers a time from my past. It was likely the most difficult time I've had to get through. I can't help but look around me now and my life shows me how beautiful my world has become. ✨️ Card from The Phantomwise Tarot. #tarot

Anakin and I did our workout! "Well, you did most of the work. I was a good cheerleader, though, Daddy!" #Anakin #workout #workoutcat

Keep a running tab of things I say to my dog that you could also say to a gay guy.

Sweet! I got through 24 pages of my second draft of Someone Else's Life. I'm on page 101! A third of the way through. Some chapters are staying pretty much as is while others are getting a little bit of an overhaul. Either way, I'm having fun and loving what I've written. #writer #memoir #joy

The sun is showing us how beautiful the world can be today. #walking #sunshine #trees

I painted a new canvas! This one took a while to figure out what it wanted to be. When I look at this, I see a tree at sunrise as the sky is just beginning to fill with colour. I am calling it THE GOLDEN LIGHT. It's 16X20 and was done with a brush and pallet knife. #art #artist #abstract

May the call of this beautiful laughing kookaburra uplift your day. #bird #kookaburra #australia

Anakin says: "Good morning, Daddy! Why did you get out of bed? It's so comfy! I'm going to go back to sleep!" #Anakin #supercute #fabulouscat

Love blooms at the most random of moments, usually when you aren't expecting it. Cherish that love today and welcome the other person who sees you more clearly than you can see yourself. Love has the power to move mountains, especially from within. ♥️ Card from The Lubanko Tarot. #tarot #love #joy

I had a painting session this evening. It was a tough go, but I got the first layers down. Not at all what I meant to paint, but I am happy with my progress! #art #artist #abstract

I went out for a walk and it so beautiful outside! The sun is shining brightly! #walking #sunshine #trees

Anakin says: "Good morning, Daddy! Did you know that there are 179 ways to be cute? I've mastered 178!" #Anakin #supercute #fabulouscat

Life is a cycle and there must be balance. It can seem like a lot some days. You take on so much in any given day. Still, you continue to scale mountains to reach for the light. Trust your wisdom and remember that this too shall pass. Breathe and let go. ✨️Card from The Lubanko Tarot. #tarot #Lubanko

I was reminded that I have to go forward. I am working on a memoir and had a random moment of self-doubt appear. I ignored those emotions and surged onward. I need to remember that the act of writing the memoir is an act of self-love and need to celebrate. ✨️ Card from The Phantomwise Tarot. #tarot

Sweet, I got through nine page in the second draft of Someone Else's Life and I'm on page 76/308. Some chapters are staying as is, but it's interesting moving and adding words as I go along, fleshing out the skeleton of words I've written. Better yet, I'm still having fun. #writing #memoir #tarot

I did my workout with Anakin. He says: "We gotta work it! Well, you do all the work, I will help, though!" #Anakin #workout #workoutcat

✨💕✨💕✨💕✨💕✨

I went out for a walk earlier today and it is gorgeous outside! ##walktime #sunshine #trees

Anakin says: "Good morning, Daddy! Its story time! I am all ready for a tale telling of my awesomeness!" #Anakin #supercute #fabulouscat

You will be given opportunities to invoke your magic today. It may seem like a lot, but you have always had the magic inside you. You got this! ✨️ Card from The Bonestone and Earthflesh Tarot. #tarot

I think writing any kind of book is like planting seeds and watching them grow. Every word is a seed and they all grow together to create something beautiful. Not all of the growth is easy, but it always helps me to learn more about myself. ✨️ Card from The Blue Tarot. #tarot #planting #writing

I went for a swim! It's just nice to be active. #justkeepswimming

Awesome, I managed to edit 24 pages in Someone Else's Life this weekend. I'm on page 67/307 and I'm still enjoying what I've written. That's awesome! #writing #editing #memoir

Spa day! I had a manicure and pedicure and chose shades of green to welcome in spring. #selfcare #manicure #pedicure
