      I know I haven’t been on in a while. I guess it’s time for an update. Life events keep piling up, and I have no idea where things are heading.

      Good news is I finally sold my condo a couple months ago… finally. But I sold it to an investor and basically lost all of my equity. I didn’t care at this point, I just wanted out. We are currently living with the in-laws since we can’t afford a new place right now. And since my husband’s grandfather is undergoing cancer treatment and staying there, we are now housesitting for him. We will be bouncing back and forth for the holidays as family comes into town. It’s like we’re playing musical chairs. I have no daily routine, and I have stuff scattered between 2 houses and a storage unit. I haven’t gotten much painting done, though I’m finally caught up on all my commissions. *yeah!* The last one was a phoenix. I need to post that one. I do believe she is one of my best pieces. 🙂

      Last month I went on a little spiritual retreat. Boy, that was something — sweat lodge and a massive water wheel ceremony on the full moon. Something happens when you stay on sacred land. I did some serious emotional healing and a LOT of crying. I am no longer the same person I was before the trip. I met some absolutely amazing people, too. AND I got to see a white buffalo in the fur!

      But the hardest thing is that I’ve now lost all of my furbabies. Last year in October, I said goodbye to Saber Dog. In May, it was April’s turn. Last week, Toby made it clear he was ready. And even though Gidget had been “adopted” by my in-laws, she was always part of my original pack. We let her go today. I’ve mourned the loss of 2 dogs in 1 week, 4 dogs in 14 months. 😥 Needless to say, I feel very empty right now. I’m really, really tired… especially emotionally. I’m trying not to get sick for the holidays, but I think the stress did a number on my system. My mom is coming into town tomorrow to go Christmas shopping with me, because to be honest, I’m on automatic pilot and I’m just going through the motions. I have no decision-making capabilities at this point.

      So that’s it. That’s where I am right now. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.
      You better believe I am so looking forward to 2014.

              Sorry to hear that. Just know it will take time to heal but you will come out stronger than before with a fresh new perspective on life. Try to rest and relax and feel appreciation for what you do still have and what makes you feel happy through the holidays.
