Understand-ments
and seeking enlightenment...
The Prophet’s Pyramid rose in front of her, imposing and enchanting. A chain floated inches above the first step, high, solid and sharp; yet there was no one around to keep the rules from being broken.
She climbed onto the first step and her mind grew clear, so she began the ascent. After the fifth step she realised just why it was forbidden to climb and she began the descent.

A Real, Honest to Goodness, Tree
It was grey for a long time. All my life. All da's life. And then, out of the blue, or grey, or whatever, came green. Like in the old stories. We oohed and ahhed over it. Took the kids along of it. And Gramma, too. Wheeled her down there, watched her old face crack and brighten.

Why Indie and Otis Came to Love OllieSupported by: Ollie
Like most dog moms, the best part of my day is the time spent with my dogs. I have an 8 year old Pittie mix named Indie and a two year old Frenchie mix named Otis. Indie is my soul dog and the love of my life. She has inspired me to become a photographer, a business owner, and a creator, among other things. She is the smartest and most loyal creature who selflessly makes sure that I’m happy above all else. Most of the time, she knows how I’m feeling before I do. When we’re together, she’s my shadow–never more than a few inches from me at all times.
