Coping with the loss of a close friend or family member may be one of the hardest challenges that many of us face. When we lose a spouse, sibling or parent our grief can be particularly intense. Loss is understood as a natural part of life, but we can still be overcome by shock and confusion, leading to prolonged periods of sadness or depression. The sadness typically diminishes in intensity as time passes, but grieving is an important process in order to overcome these feelings and continue to embrace the time you had with your loved one....
Well it is a beautiful almost Fall morning here in our little valley. We had a few days of a little cooler temps and this morning there is a nice breeze blowing. We got a good rain the other night and it sure helped everything, after a good rain everything always seems fresh and clean. We still need a lot more rain though, our grass is still really dry. The cats are really enjoying this morning, they like the cooler weather better. They do not care for hot weather, when it gets really hot then they just want to sleep during the day. The humming...
Got some rain along with a thunderstorm, not serious but had lightning and thunder and rain. We are very thankful for the rain as I know the animals in the wild are because their food supply has suffered with it being so dry. The temperatures have been like fall of the year and the leaves are really falling, I guess because it has been so dry. Mornings have been in the low forties and then back up to eighty during the day. Those I know which are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Kasey Baker, Colene Beasley,...

On a clear, peaceful, September morning 23 years ago, our world and our lives as we knew them changed forever in only moments. Terrorists struck our country at home on American soil, claiming 2,977 innocent lives in New York City, Washington DC, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Rising from the ashes of burnt and collapsed buildings and the immense grief that still feels all too familiar to many, Americans united and rallied around victims, their families, and our military members. Reflecting on some of the darkest days in our history is a...
“People Think It’s Weird...” ...to love the earth. They do, and I have unknowingly tested it. On days when the weather speaks to my soul (yes, I know how “hippie” that sounds), I take a straw mat out to the driveway, lay it out, and lie there in the warm sun. Personally, I’d rather sweat bullets any day as opposed to the slightest chill. As the sun refuels me for the day (body and mind), I enjoy the songbirds singing in the trees to each other across the yard and/or neighborhood. I am in awe o...

This introverted nature, which helps an artist tap into a unique vision, can also lead to tunnel vision. Artists can become obsessive about perfecting their craft while ignoring the practicalities of turning art into a sustainable livelihood. Unfortunately, this mindset often creates a significant stumbling block when it comes...
