Winter bird

I'm originally from the Far North ie. Canada, and not so far North really...just above Lake Ontario. We called it the 'banana belt' because we didn't get that much snow or super cold weather, but still, it was winter there for a looong time; it could snow as early as late October and as late as early May, at least when I lived there before 1992.

Since then I've been blessed to find myself in Southern California where winters are not really winters and most of the trees don't change colour. Seasons are less evident here and (inland) we rarely get snow and when we do people run outside in wonder and amazement.

This morning as I looked out over yet another beautiful, blue, sunny sky and enjoyed my cactus' first flower of the year (see photo above) I could feel my roots crying out; 'where are you...when will you return home?'  and I'd like to answer by saying, 'soon, soon, I will return'.  But for now the best I can do is paint from my roots and so I present to you today's Lefty: Winter Bird. To me she has a bit of an Inuit feel (the Inuit do live in the true North, close to the pole) and I'm a very big fan of their printmaking and sculpture.

Cats are wonderful friends ~ What to do when you lose a pet

Cats are Wonderful Friends

Gentle eyes that see so much, paws that have the quiet touch, Purrs to signal "all is well" and show more love than words could tell. Graceful movements touched with pride, a calming presence by our side A friendship that takes time to grow Small wonder why we love them so.

When you lose your cat ~ What can you do to feel better?

There is no magic pill that can remove the pain completely. With time the feelings will become less intense. However there are activities that may help you to focus on the happy memories you shared. Some people find the following useful:

* Writing poetry or a letter for your cat to express your feelings for him or her. * Arrange photos in a special album. * A memorial page on the web (if you don’t have a web page of your own, there are specific sites that welcome photos and poetry to memorialise your cat). * Joining a email group – there are several that provide support from people who have also lost their cats. * Have your own ritual. Invite like-minded and supportive people to share in memories of your cat. * Plant a rose or tree for your cat. * Sponsor an animal in the zoo in memory of your cat. * Read a self-help book. There are many available on grieving. * If your grief is overwhelming and causes major disruption to your daily life over a long time, consider seeking help. There are counsellors and psychotherapists who are sensitive to the needs of people who are grieving for their pets. However ensure that they have the same qualifications you would expect for grief counselling for humans (eg psychologist, social worker, counsellor of professional association).

Veneeta prepares for take-off (accelerated consciousness)

If you're interested in telling a good story I recommend Wired for Story by Lisa Cron. It inspired me to re-write my entire artist's bio on a deep emotional level in a clear way (i hope!) or, if you just want to write better stories, give it a go. Anyway, it inspired today's Creative Soul Guide painting - enjoy!
