Salutations, all! 
          This year sure has been one for the books. 
          Lost some important family members, and made some new friends, too. College has kept me busy, as have the critters on the farm! We have 68 goats at the moment. 
          
          I'm excited to share this news with you all...I am a published author! I published a children's book (that I wrote and illustrated), about monarch butterflies, their life cycle, and the importance of protecting pollinators. 
          
          Sending kind words to all of you as the holidays approach!

Hey hey! It's been a while!
          Threw out a new short story, even if it isn't a lot, I'm really proud of it. The two little goofballs. I placed in a college writing contest with it!
          
          Hope all of you are staying cool, if you're in the middle of a heat wave, and doing well!

Salutations! 
          I'm hoping to get back into the swing of updating my stories. 
          And if anyone is interested, new discord :>

After ten years, I have finally adopted the dog of my dreams...
          Her name is Willow, and she is a red Siberian husky with heterochromatic eyes. 
          How is everyone else doing? Has anything interesting happened in your lives?

The colors of the painting will fade , but I don't ; The tricks of the earth do deceive , but I don't ; The quicksand could pull you down , but I don't ; The dark would hide you , but I don't ; Through thick and thin and roughness ; I won't leave you , no ; Because I am your friend ; because I love you so ; ' ll always stand by you , in times you need me the most ; I will walk in through the storm , no matter how it hurts ; You'll ask from me " what you want ? " ; no I don't want anything from you . I will give you unconditionally friendship .

I know that some of you may be feeling down at times, and that is completely understandable. Life throws heaping piles of nonsense onto our daily plates for us all to sort out over the course of our lives.
          But, I want you all to remember that you are not alone. It may not seem like it, or my advice may seem a bit cliche, but I promise that's not how I intend it. 
          I've seen some of you make posts saying that you're lonely, or you want someone to talk to, and if any of you are comfortable with it, my discord DMs are always open. I may not always respond the fastest, but I promise I will get back to your messages. So if you ever want to talk to me about something, or just ramble about your day, I'd be happy to listen.

          I hope that you are all having a wonderful week wherever you may be <3

Happy Easter to all who celebrate! 
          Please find a way to relax and enjoy yourselves!
