A little Friday message to those of you who may need to hear this:
-
Came across this gem on my newsfeed on social media and wanted to share with everyone here. It is imperative to be compassionate to yourself in times of difficulty. Self-care is a great way to do that to help yourself heal. It is giving yourself permission to pause, to love yourself, to be kind to yourself and remember that you are just human and you are doing your best.
Sending you all love and safe hugs!!
-
For those of you who are also having mixed feelings seeing the Mother's Day posts on social media: I'm with you. Wishing you a happy day if you're celebrating and holding your hand if you're not.

Salem is here to say hello. He is modeling one of my hand-made SAAM bands - yes, I did take it off after this picture was taken as it's not a 'regulation' collar, but here's our boy's contribution to the observance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month! Teal is a nice color on him, isn't it?
-
SAAM bands made by yours truly - I'm wearing these all month.

Say hello to Salem!

Pocket riders needed for tomorrow. Attending a family gathering and there will be in attendance some family members I do NOT wish to see.
Oh, and Lucy? Pencil me in for Sunday, please!!!

I am missing someone today. 18 years in Heaven, although it feels like only yesterday we lost you - Grandma, please continue to watch over my family and all of those dear to my heart.
-
Happy Sunday, everyone. Here's a thought for you all.
-
This spoke to me, today.

Sweet dreams, baby boy.

Our boy has stopped eating and has showed that he is unable to continue the fight. He has been a true warrior and has hung on for a month following losing function of his hind legs - and someone wise did say that extra time he gave us was truly a gift. But - he's now telling us he is exhausted and we've had to make the most heartbreaking decision we've ever thought possible - our sweet Dexter will be making his way over the Rainbow Bridge tomorrow. I am absolutely devastated. Pocket riders appreciated for the next 24 hours as we prepare to say goodbye to the most lovable and faithful fur-baby we've ever had.
-
Continued good vibes needed, please, for our cat, who has lost all function of his hind legs and is unable to walk. Still, he is a fighter and has been surprising us day after day with his strength and will to keep going. Although his prognosis is not good, he is calling all the shots, and he's not finished, yet. He is looking especially handsome today, so both he and his Mama are accepting hugs and positivity!
-
How is everyone doing, today? Sending out hugs to anyone who needs. Just because!

Merry Christmas to you all - if this is a time that brings you joy - I wish you all of the blessings possible and hope your holiday was a truly wonderful one. If this season is one of your struggles, I wish you peace and comfort - hang in there - it is almost behind us.
Either way, sending you all lots of love - no holiday required for that. So grateful for all of you.

I wanted to take the time and opportunity to wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! Enjoy yourselves and your loved ones and remember to be thankful for every single one of our blessings no matter how big or small!
While I know some are excited for the upcoming holidays, others may not be feeling it. For those of you who are struggling right now, please know that my heart and thoughts are with all of you and I am sending an infinite stream of love and support. If you like, my PMs are open and I would love to hear from you, even if it's just a 'hi.'
Don't be shy!
I, for one, am thankful for all of you and for this amazing community that I am both proud and honored to be a part of.
Love and light,

@LuthienTinuviel - hugs always welcome! And I hope so, too...
It just seems that so many of us are struggling in so many different ways right now - this highly optimistic, yet powerful statement, I believe, is safe to hold onto as we all work at figuring out what's next for each of us.
Hang in there, friend.

It's pretty amazing how even after so much elapsed time, things STILL remain ingrained into you.
Blog forthcoming, soon as I can figure out how to best explain today's epiphany.

Hi @Kmkz, @Free2Fly, @MeBeMary, @Field8, @Hoping8
THANK YOU guys for your kind words and messages and for sitting with me last night.
I do NOT ask for help often. I'm not used to doing so. In the past, I was taught and 'conditioned' to deal with my emotions and moods differently. Whenever I feel these 'emotional overloads,' this (untrue) feeling of sharing being equivalent to showing weakness kicks in and I am usually quicker/more likely to suck it up and let it sit and fester instead. But this is not happening anymore; part of my personal growth process is to (slowly) learn to allow others to be able to offer comfort, advice or support when needed. More often than not, healing is a grueling uphill battle, and it's too easy to forget that there are others who are on that same hike. Slowly, I am discovering the benefits of allowing others to stand behind me and give that encouraging push here and there - I WILL keep climbing and I WILL make it to the top of this hill, eventually.
I'd also like to shout out to a couple of others not listed here who also took the time out of their evening to reach out and talk to me. You guys have NO idea how much it helped to know that you were there. Thank you, too.
I'm feeling a little less unsettled and more coherent today. I did manage to sleep for a little while, too, so the headache has lessened although it's not completely gone, yet. I'm going to respond to a couple of PMs, soak in the bath and will be back later.
Love,
