When we lose a pet it hurts. Awfully. There seems to be no room for anything besides pain.
Besides sadness.
Besides wishing it were different.
We cannot seem to find the emotions that are triggered by the happy memories. They are not there yet.
Or at least it seems that way.
They are there. They are underneath that grief. They [...]

Whether a pet dies or there is a major earthquake with many people dying there is loss and pain.
It is not necessary to compare, things are going to happen in degrees, no matter what.
In any instance of loss you can find a place of strength. You need to sit quietly and listen for it.
You need [...]

With loss comes emptiness. Something missing. An empty space. We look at this empty space with sadness, with longing. We thing there is less of us now. A hole in our being.
What we tend to miss something huge. That empty space does not have to stay empty. We can choose to fill it with love. [...]

I create my own work. The artist I represent create their own work. We do not copy the work of others. There is no integrity in that.
I just really wanted to be clear, as I just finished a chat with a customer, but was cut off before I could finish my sentence. Honestly, I am [...]

I don’t talk about my work too much here. But today I felt I should share. I am very fortunate in that I get to create art and have my own business. And I still get to work with animals. But not in the way we usually imagine. We all have the same parts in [...]

I fear.
Death.
Loss.
Being alone.
Losing a love.
But what I fear is false.
We are not alone.
Our love lives on.
Death is not what we think it is.
Moments in time is what we have.
And these moments are precious.
They are the key to eternity.
They are the window to eternity.
We can hold them precious.
We can believe in them.
We can be together [...]

The more we give, the more we get. The more we get, the more we give.
We are all so connected. We do not realize how much our actions create movements elsewhere in the world.
A request to create a unique urn for Polly gave my heart this amazingly wonderful thank you:
We received Polly’s urn today and [...]

Pain. It happens. We do not want it to, but there it is. Sometimes we can get so caught up in it. In a way we need to. We need to mourn. We need to feel that loss. When the time is right, we need to let go of that pain.
Helping others is one of [...]

Hello,
I just realized that I haven’t been telling people that I can create my pet urns in braille. If you could pass that information on to anyone who might be in need, that would be wonderful. Since everything on my urn is textured, sight impaired people can actually feel the [...]
