Perspective...

Picture of my gray and white tabby, Melvin, I adopted from my local Humane Society.

Are you lonely and looking for (unconditional) love?

Cuddles and snuggles. Where you are their entire world? Then adopt a senior pet from your local animal rescue or shelter. They will be your best friend and love you for life. (Happy National Adopt a Senior Pet month!)

I had no time to hate, by Emily Dickinson

Always choose love 💙

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters. (From ABC news)

I urge you, if you can, to help families with furbabies stay together. Contact your local animal shelters to see how you can help 🙏💙

Happy National Cat Day!! 🐾❤️

Cats can be misunderstood. They are indeed social creatures and are considered spiritual protecters. Also, simply adorable. Here are my two sweet boys, Ashy & Aiko 🥰

Photo of Georgia O'Keeffe’s The Flag.

The Flag

Georgia O'Keeffe created The Flag expressing her anxiety and depression about WWI that her brother had been shipped out to fight. The emotions in this work feel even more relevant today. May we have patience and strength to find peace. And wave our flag of freedom high.

What do you do when the world is on fire? Let art "reign"! (Rain, art palette, and spark emojis.)

"I'm only happy when it rains..." [Song by Garbage]

Fall leaves, on many trees in a line, turning color from green to orange, yellow, and red.

Happy Autumn Equinox!

A time for gratitude, letting go, introspection, spiritual connection, and acknowledging nature's cycles. May you find peace and balance in this new season <3

Check out my friend Christina Looney’s art. Beautiful watercolor nature scenes. And if you feel so inclined I’d recommend buying one for yourself, and help an emerging artist fulfill her dreams
