I’ve been reading Sonia Choquette’s new book, “The Answer is Simple,” about leading with your soul or spirit. It’s a very positive book and because I love making lists I followed some of the exercises and made a list of what I love to do and have kept track of what has interested me lately. I give a similar exercise, joy bubbles, in my one online class (fairy beginner class) I teach.

And, in the New York Times there is a great slide show featuring the colorful work of Ludwig Kirchner that I really enjoyed here.

And if anyone cares or is interested, I’m still resting. Kinda like a forced rest with a big lull. I guess I needed it from coughing for about 3 weeks and running myself down into the ground! And there’s no drama or crisis for a change, which I’m not used to, and am grateful for. My body, on the other hand, was used to the constant flow of adrenaline. I’m trying to wean myself off of it now.

Just a little heads-up of local classes I will be teaching to help the local animal Mom and Dad.

I will be teaching Animal Communication (Fridays 9-11; September to October) and Advanced Animal Communication (Tuesdays 1-3; October to December) at Yavapai College’s Non-credit program this Fall in Prescott, Arizona. Registration is up now online and through the Community Education office. If you have any ac training, you can sign up for the advanced class. Last I looked, the beginner class is filling fast and room in the advanced.

Have a fun day!

Another doodle that I had fun with. I invented my own cookies and had great fun making up their names. I am thinking about making cookies for my daughter’s bday tomorrow. The funny thing is, I am not a very cook in any realm of the kitchen, so this should be interesting.

I am not teaching Bookmaking at the college this fall! My PV class got cancelled from low enrollment (we offered it at a weird time) and I cancelled the Sedona class due to high gas and travel expenses. This situation feels like a good one to me actually, so I feel a bit guilty. My spirit feels drawn to other things right now, and I was being tagged the “handmade book” girl, when indeed, I am really only interested in book design. (Love, love book design).

Tonight I am taking my first DVD-making class at the college. I think new avenues & new genres will open up to me by experiencing a new art form. (see all the NEWs I used!) I’m looking forward….

Okay, been sick for about 2 weeks clearing out my sinuses and throat of some nasty stuff from long ago. Yesterday was the first day I felt quite normal without coughing except when I got upset. That’s another story. Woo-hoo! I couldn’t figure out why I had gotten sick, because I was pretty clueless for awhile there. Thanks to Lolo, who reminded me in her comments that of course, I’d be run down! You figure in the past months I’ve:

• nursed a sick Foxy dog 24/7 (she’s doing fab, by the way) and didn’t sleep from worry for 2 weeks
• took care of a sick Sarah dog right after-wards (she just had allergies, thank goodness)
• took in Bebit, the beagle, who turned out to be Belle the beagle, who then went home
• dealt with lots of Jessica issues and pre-high school jitters (big area of drain)
• did a ton of readings
• taught online Fairy school classes
• did a radio interview
• drew and worked on my books
• worked diligently on my Zine
• finished teaching at the college

and didn’t bother to rest. Oops. From this day forward, I intend to do less, but of quality. To include rest and downtime within the day and better boundaries and structure. I hope. One day I will try not to follow every creative idea I get in that second I get it, and handle one project at a time. Ha ha ha ha, oh that is funny.

But in the meantime, here’s another peek at my zine be offered very soon.

Go check out my online radio interview now featured about all the woo-woo stuff I do. It’s Mrs. Claus’ inspirational radio show on the Family Yak channel. Click here.

I haven’t been blogging or IF’ing.  I know. Very bad.  Naughty fairy. Busy working on new zine, THE DOGBUNNY ZINE.

Then, because I’ve been too busy, not listening to my dogs telling me to rest, I’ve gotten a nasty headcold, so I’ve been hacking up some nasty things. Technically, now is my break time before teaching starts again, but I am still doing readings and working on projects. I am a lousy rester, to be honest. My mind is too active and I can do nothing for about a day. But, we finally have some calm in our house. Jess starts school today, Bill goes back to his day job, and Foxy is doing fab-u-lous. I suppose my own body is trying to teach me how to rest. Curses! Perhaps now with the kids back in school, all the good DVD’s will be available at the library and I can do a moviethon.

This is Foxy Cleopatra in her Magic Hat. When I think of Poof! I think of her. She recovered from her near-death experience and is actually regenerating! She came back with her kidneys close to normal, her vision and hearing coming back, and her back better. She seems to get younger everyday, playing with toys and acting crazy. It’s a flippin’ miracle. This drawing is from my For The Love of Dog book, available here.

I love kid movies. Kid movies are THE best inspiration and always seem to put me back into a great frame of mind. I found this movie particularly wonderful.

Thanks to Dianne, who took my Handmade Book and Book Design class for the idea of having suggested themes each week for book creating, much like what we did in class! So, if you are inclined, and need a starting off point to create a book this week, this week’s theme is:
