Hello Thunder

Asheville blog 

Last night was a crazy storm full of thunder, lightening and heavy rain. It was a bit scary to be honest, but the hardest part is my pups. Mostly Jack. When Ansli was alive, they would both just shake and shiver… it would break my heart. I think she calmed him a bit even though she was scared too. Now that she is gone, he was coming out of his skin last night – nothing was working. So I am a bit exhausted today and hoping for a calm night tonight, but it doesn’t look at that way. Oh well.

In other news there has been a lot going on – good and bad. I met with a girl yesterday, who is the most adorable thing ever and so talented. It is was one of those amazing soul connections and the universe truly brought us together. This came at the perfect timing… Sometimes it helps not to feel alone and we all need this support – especially in our art. So we are working on a project soon and starting networking meetings with other photographers. I think this year will be wild fire. I know it will be a lot of hard work, but I am ready.

So you should check out her blog and photos and go tell her hello.

What do you do when your pups get crazy with thunderstorms?

Weekend Adventure.

Sometimes transitions can be rough even coming out of winter. Shedding our hibernation skin and blossoming under the sun like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly can rub a little rough sometimes. I have been feeling it a little, for sure. I have also been very determined to make this spring be one of adventure and stories.

So my friend little darling and I grabbed some coffee and off we went on a little adventure to find my first waterfall. Luckily, Asheville is surrounded by beauty and we only had to drive about 45 minutes before reaching DuPont State Forest… you know, where some of Hunger Games was filmed. oh yeah. that…

The weather was gorgeous and we even saw an older couple get married in camo attire there. We also saw a bunch of kids climbing on rocks like monkey’s which almost gave me a heart attack. oy!

We saw so many weird people and cool things. It definitely helped to get out of “town” for the day to refuel our spirits. Nature is magic.

these are some iPhone photos from the day…

of course, to end my evening… I stopped by to see my friend Jeri and we went and got some pizza.

I was so excited this place had vegan pizza from a fire brick oven and it was so yummy!image

Friday at the zoo.

by canyon critter on April 5, 2014

I wasn’t feeling well today and the weather was grey so I hung out with the zoo today.  This was also a hard day as my best friend had to cross her dog. My heart felt so heavy for her. Death under any circumstance never makes for the best day. So I wanted to hug mine and be present with them. Jack is showing his age lately and I don’t want to miss any opportunity I have to be with them.

So here are some random shots from my day.

Happy Friday, my loves.

let go.

by willow on February 20, 2014

golden eternity.

She let go.

She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.

She let go of the fear.

She let go of the judgments.

She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.

She let go of the committee of indecision within her.

She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.

Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.

She didn’t ask anyone for advice.

She didn’t read a book on how to let go.

She didn’t search the scriptures.

She just let go.

She let go of all of the memories that held her back.

She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.

She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.

She didn’t promise to let go.

She didn’t journal about it.

She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.

She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.

She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.

She just let go.

She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.

She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.

She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.

She didn’t call the prayer line.

She didn’t utter one word.

She just let go.

No one was around when it happened.

There was no applause or congratulations.

No one thanked her or praised her.

No one noticed a thing.

Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.

There was no effort.

There was no struggle.

It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.

It was what it was, and it is just that.

In the space of letting go, she let it all be.

A small smile came over her face.

A light breeze blew through her. And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…
