Creative Acts of Kindness: Scavenger Hunts And Caches

I simply enjoy these creative acts of kindness and scavenger hunt-style activities that involve inspiration, connection, and surprise. They’re meant to bring a little joy to others through small, colorful creations hidden in public places. I wanted a place to list all of these types of activities as well as offer an opportunity for visitors to leave notes about found items! My daughters and I…

Chimp Crazy Lady Show: Wild + Tame Podcast

WATCH NOW On YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify We both love animals and have different insights on those lifestyles as well as we both support animal rights (and speak out on animal wrongs). We decided to revamp the podcast because animals have lasting power, animal rights (whether the animals are wild, tame, or somewhere in between), will always be something we are passionate about. There…

Chimp Crazy Lady Show Podcast

Well I haven’t been super vocal about this on my own platforms but I have been managing Tonia Haddix online and helping her after everything that went down due to the documentary on HBO Max called Chimp Crazy. This lead to us starting a silly podcast so that she could talk about her own ideas and not just be featured by shows pushing a bias. This first episode is a little painful and off-beat…

HBO Max's Chimp Crazy's Extreme Sides

I’m sure a lot of you have been watching Chimp Crazy right now on Max. Same. After the third episode was released I had a lot of thoughts that I wanted to share and mull around with you. Surprisingly, I could finally start to relate with the women who take care of primates and why they choose to do that. I could especially relate with Tonia Haddix as they shared a little more of her story. She…

So my daughter, Colette, has finally released a song with her signing and I am obsessed. She has sang, wrote lyrics, and composed music since she was 5. I have always been proud of her but her growth these days is insane.

Is this thing still on?

i’m sitting upstairs, reading, looking at the gloomy sky peeking right outside my window. working up the courage to take a walk without the sunshine. slightly irritated that my phone is frozen and won’t update.

from the hallway, colette’s chill and ambient sleep music plays in waves as the peach blossoms sway in the chilly breeze.

everything’s OK.

and everything is going to be fine.

i’m in a web of grief. there are moments of pure joy and a gorgeous, saturated wonderland lays before me, others it’s cold, gray, and i just focus on doing the next right thing. there are so many beautiful things alongside the hurt.

i meticulously planned each of my girls against all odds. at 25 i wanted to have a baby with my husband but i was always told i couldn’t carry/have kids based on biological reasons. when i did finally get pregnant, after all the issues staying pregnant with her, i was told i couldn’t have kids yet again.

after my husband got a reversal, and i lost a pregnancy, i became pregnant with my second daughter. almost 5 years ago now.

now that my dear family friend (that helped raise me and taught me unconditional love) has passed, i feel a deep sadness and regret. i wish covid hadn’t happened and i could have visited more. i wish i didn’t have to start my life all over from scratch, homeless and depressed even before covid. after years of isolation, i forgot about all of the people that i loved. the people that loved me. i suppose it made it easier to survive through that stretch of time. it’s much less painful if you really have no one else.

i now know i have a lot of someone elses. and it’s totally normal that humans need that. it’s important and it’s beautiful.

so i am feeling thankful for my daughters. we are each here together and that is truly my dream come true. and it’s ok to be sad at the same time because i hate imagining a life without my friend that passed.

what’s yours?

[amcam]

i’ve been a little MIA lately… any time my regular schedule is changed, like for a trip, school break, etc, i get so behind. every exciting project i’ve been obsessing over gets forgotten. something about object permanence. then i have to start all over and it takes awhile to get back into my routine.

relatable? adhd thing? i’m not sure.

as a side note, i just made a full page of logo variations for a client and my illustrator crashed. this never happens. eek.
