Purple Lotus Healing

I am trying to create sanctuary spaces in my garden. Places to sit, breathe and be. This is my latest project. This represents my spiritual journey that I have been on the past 35-37 years. Circles Representing a path with no beginning and no end, it symbolizes the eternal nature of the soul and cosmos. I know that our spiritual journey is a spiral and I have had so many full circle moments on my journey. So the circles represent all the full circle moments. The space in the middle is Ma, a Japanese concept of negative space. Those times where you sit in the silence. For me those are my meditative times where I sit in the silence and receive the answers and heal. If anyone knows me they know I love love love color. So for me to do all white pieces is stepping out of the box. But this piece called for white which represents purity and love. I have worked so hard on healing the abuse from my childhood and now I fill myself with purity. It also represents all the unconditional love that Kirby brought into my life and taught me what that feels like. 💜 The 3 circles for me represents the small one is my childhood and I grew and healed the second one represents that time. The large ornate one represents now and the future where I have become enlightened.
I hope others can just enjoy the simplicity of my artwork.

Living our best life

I was horrible this year getting photos at Great Wolf Lodge. This year the adults rode way more slides than we ever have in the past. Which resulted in one exhausted Honey and PopPop! This picture Peter shot of our wolf pack dressed in the wolf robes I gave them for Christmas. They were leaving water park and heading up to the rooms.

Here are the littles and the biggies!! Thanks to Summer Foytik for these pictures!!

Let the fun begin!! Great Wolf Lodge. 🐺

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my peeps. The Love I have for these 4 souls is unmeasurable. I always like to show them my love for them on Valentine’s Day. This year I made them ring pops. Each one is stuffed with candy and a stuffy along with lights. The ring pop was made with 2 bowls, a plate, a wreath and spray paint.

Our beach Buddy

This tree called me for a hug!

Our view for next 8 days!

We have just finished our latest project. It has taken us 4 weeks and 1 day!
I have given Kirby 3 years to get grass in the backyard. He has tried seeding, sod and plugs. With the huge trees and root system and add at one time 2 dogs it was impossible. I finally broke him down and we installed Pet turf with the guidance of a professional who was a friend and neighbor. She talked us through each process. I am so pleased. Pleased to look out at our lawn and see green and pleased when it rains I don’t have to wash muddy paws!!
Here is a before and after picture.

Our first Monarch Butterfly! It’s a girl!!
