If you enjoy animal wisdom and guides, oracle cards, journaling, and tuning into what it is you need to know in order to live your best life, I’m delighted to share this video review with you of the Cosmic Animal Emotional Intelligence Cards by Tanya Casteel.
Included in the video is a one card reading from Tanya’s deck, so if you’ve been pondering a question you could use some insight about, stay tuned to the end!
Here’s the video:

I’m happy to announce, in collaboration with LaValley Home and Garden, this years recipient for a portion of my art sold will benefit Pilots to the Rescue.
Their Mission:
The mission of Pilots To The Rescue is to prevent at-risk animals from being euthanized by transporting them via air and ground transportation to give them the best chance at adoption.
Volunteer pilots fly animals from critical situations to safety, ultimately saving lives.
Not only has this organization helped dogs and cats, they’ve also helped ten foxes and four wolves. Catch a video below to learn more about them!
And to kick off this announcement I have five new pieces of art available for purchase through LaValley Home in Garden in Howards Grove, WI. No worries if you aren’t local, as they will ship upon request!
My mixed media Animal Oracle Art thoughtfully blends together chosen images of animals that have inspired and/or captured my attention in some way! Each image and corresponding backgrounds are enhanced with a variety of pastel chalks, pencils, markers, and paint. My collages include dried florals, leaves, and natural elements I discover on my walks such as acorns, feathers, stones, and tree branches, along with bits of discarded/recycled ephemera. Animal image and supporting images are then curated and adhered to create a dimensional effect that is gently and lovingly nestled with care on birchwood.
Check out this heartwarming video of the mission of Pilots to the Rescue who have helped over 4,000 souls to date!

One of the things I enjoy when traveling in our RV are the dogs we see along the way. Especially those traveling in a motor coach like we do.
As we pulled into a rest stop on the way home, we pulled alongside an RV with this corgi in the window. He/she was just the sweetest! It cracks me up how the small dogs are the perfect fit to sit on the dashboard, and this one had their pillow too. Living the good life for sure!
For the past few years we’ve taken time away for seven weeks in the warmer climate of the south. This time around I was the most relaxed I’ve felt in a long time. And I felt torn about staying and returning home. But alas, it was time to come home. And we are so grateful to have missed the storms in KY and TN as we made the route back home, though sad for the loss of life and damage the area received.
I was so happy to unlock my studio, which as you know, sits outside our house on the corner of our deck. As I walked through the door I couldn’t help but say out loud, “Hello, Studio! I missed you!”
This space still brings me so much joy and comfort. Though I’m feeling a bit slow of how and where to begin since I’ve been away for almost two months, I know in time, a flow will begin again. For now, I remind myself to trust the unfolding.
But it feels good to just be in this space. On solid footings after traveling back home through rain and strong winds, plus our campground at our last stop that flooded. I captured a short video here. Luckily, our site was on the higher part and we didn’t have flooding on our site.
It’s so nice to be able to travel and just as nice to return home! And thank you to all the doggie’s along the way and in our campgrounds that brought smiles to my heart.
And how much is that doggie in the RV you might wonder? Well, of course, PRICELESS! 😊
