My interests, hobbies, career paths and priorities regularly change spots in order of importance or get canceled entirely. They elbow each other out of the way. They squeak by to remind me to take another swing at them or ultimately hit them out of my life forever. Last week I decided within my current professional…

I’m using this week to hyper focus on my website and my approach to marketing my work. I will be pretty quiet on my social media, but fear not. I will be back with more ridiculous crap soon!

The older I get, the more I realize I can’t stay organized. It’s a hobby for me, getting organized (or the thought of it). I have plans on what to do, how to do it, what I should use to get things done, and how I envision my space and thoughts. Last week, I fell…

I don’t know where I heard this quote recently or what it even referred to. I don’t know why it struck me so hard, but it did so that I ran for a pen and paper to jot it down immediately. What do you think this means? Is it an invitation to reflect on your…

When I’m not working, I’m back outside prepping for spring planting, propagating and playing. Like my past blog post about gardening, this one will tell you how important it is to find ways to take the stress away. Every day I have moments when I feel like I’m losing my mind over the world’s shit…

This, I am not. But I am a good actress. This has served me well. People think I’m alright. I successfully fooled them. My shit can be lost at the drop of a hat. Well, I’m working on that. Instead of losing my temper, I can use my temper instead. A wise blonde country superstar…

The beginning of March was a stressful, fretful, cheerful and fruitful month. There were some personal setbacks that sidelined me temporarily, but I got my rear in gear and released a soft launch of my first three works: Meowruru Mimi, Meowhalo Popoki: 1st Edition, and Meowhalo Popoki: 2nd Edition. While I had originally planned on…

In September 2025, just as I was minding my own business once again, I came across a Facebook post about a sweet elderly cat who needed a home. After the deaths of her owner and her dog companion, she went to live with relatives. Lily was suffering from grief, loneliness and some underlying health conditions…

I’m an artist, cat mama and difference maker. Thank you for visiting. I’m happy you’re here! Drawing and illustration has been a huge part of my life since I was a tiny thing sitting at the family coffee table doodling little treasures for myself, family and friends. Before I could write, I could draw. I…
