Several weeks ago I shared a photo of my lemon seeds beginning to push through their shells. One is incredibly speedy, and the other 3 are taking their time. I genuinely thought 2 of them were not viable at all. It's not much, and it is still beautiful to witness these seedlings progress. /|\

It appears that I, in fact, may have a green thumb after all. All it took was believing myself as capable of assisting nature to do it's thing. They're is yet hope for me and the nature around me. I'm already visualizing the next plant project. /|\

You wouldn't know it from the street lights, but the sun was setting when I took this picture. In the bottom corner you can see abalone shells I use as dishes to feed the 2 outdoor cats: Cat and Spot. To be straightforward, I don't always remember to feed them. Tonight I did!

It has been lovely to watch the sunflowers unfurl. Never before have I had a small patch of land to grow my own garden, and it really surprised me that these plants did so well! It has brought me such joy to watch them sprout, grow, attract wildlife, wilt, and drop their seeds for next year. /|\

This was my first time in 10 years that I had a garden. Not very much room, so I focused on making it pollinator friendly. So many hummingbirds and butterflies! Even attracted the ladybugs, wasps, and preying mantis. I was able to get some sunflowers in there. I'm out of practice.

To this day, I don't know why anyone thinks I would ever judge them about anything. As long as you're happy and proud of yourself without harming anyone else, there is no adequate reason for anyone to judge you. Besides, I've got my own self-doubts to deal with. You're golden in my books, babes!

Stressful day. Met with supportive people who are more angry about my situation than I ever knew I had a right to be. The whiplash of new and conflicting information meant switching. Lots of info to consider & gather. My nurses are taking turns tapping-in to bring me comfort and solace.

"Cause Ive got the strength of a mountain
I've got the courage of a deep blue sea
I have the heart of a lion
And the stars burn bright inside of me
And although you test me my god
I stand so proudly can't you see
Ive got the strength of a mountain
And I'll take all you throw at me"

As it is that I am weaning myself off other social platforms, allow me to share with you 2 of my 4 #Kitletts roughhousing. #JackHarknessKitlett is the brown tabby and about 9 years. #SylvanasKitlett is the silver calico and just over a year old. I adore my #furbabies #CatMom 💜💜 #SymbaTeam #cats

"Late at night when all the world is sleeping I stay up and think of you," wondering how you're are, how was your day, what you had for dinner. I wonder what would happen when our paths cross again, "if you looked in my eyes would you see what's inside? Would you even care?"
I love you. Always. /|\

Gabor Maté once said, "You always marry somebody that's going to trigger for you every unhappiness that you ever had in your childhood." This made me think of how every individual person is, in and of themselves, a living breathing balancing act, and to me this is what it means to find my center.

As someone who never properly learned what emotions are and how to deal with them, I am learning how much I prefer to simply shut off the feelings; that's not exactly a healthy thing. Recognizing my struggles a friend gave me this. Hope it brings some solace. #TheWildEdgeOfSorrow #FrancisWeller

Past few weeks have been atrocious. After decades pining to live in a cooler, mountainous climate, we finally made it! Only for my world and heart to be shattered into a million pieces. Moving to my hometown soon, which means retreating back into the shadows. At least the kitletts stay with me. /|\

These two are so precious. Jack (right) has thing for looking out for the younger ones, and then they just pile up all over him. Sylvie (left) has certainly grown comfortable going from trash panda to house cat!
