I was surrounded by such cuteness this week I just had to share. Im so in love with my babies. And the random deer that come and peek in my studio. And the owls that leave me feathers in my yard. Animal love is abundant around here.

Hello sunday. I woke up from the wildest dream this morning. I was at my parents house. I was walking down the driveway, feeling happy and nostalgic, and remember saying the words 'art and creativity always win'. Then when I got closer to the house I heard a wild bird call, I look over and it was a peacock sitting in a pit of coal and flames. As we made eye contact it got up and flew away, and its wings were on fire. It flew towards the pond to put its wings out. I thought it was going to put its wings out in the pond, but instead it landed on the head of a turkey to do so, ha ha. Then I woke up. Reminds me of the pheonix rising from its own ashes.
Im always fascinated when animals come to me in my dreams, especially so dramatically like that.
Yesterday we had plans to visit some friends for a party, but we opted to stay home instead. I was just not feeling good overall and just need to be home. James and I napped, and then eventually I spent a little time in the studio creating. I also finally started a Society 6 page. Ive only wanted to for a few years now, but just never did. Ill be adding more all the time. You can find it at anytime through the button on the side bar, the one that will have an image of an iphone case or whatnot on it, below the kv moon reports button. Speaking of which, there will only be the main video this new moon for the reports, as well as the written reports. Ill get those up as soon as they are all done! This cancer energy has us all pulling back and slowing down, so we are taking the time off of this one for that.
Oh, and isn't that bird skirt adorable? Im not usually one for super girly skirts, but I just love the cut of this one and the birds!
BELLA ROSA
Just because she is beautiful, and I was able to capture this moment.
SHEDDING SKIN
Since the last full moon, I have intentionally been working on 'shedding skins'. Releasing layers of myself that no longer serve me. I have quite a few of them. The ones Im really focusing on are the ones that keep me separated in ways with my husband, or with others I'm close to. Other layers are ones that keep me wrapped in fear, of oh so many things. This week I have felt a few of those layers slowly making their way down my body, flaking off here and there as they shed. I'm learning the shedding process is just that, a process. For me at least, its not something that can just be ripped off, thrown away, and forgotten. It's a slow, messy, submergence into the shadow realm of self, followed by a rip by rip by rip releasing of this old skin. There have even been times I find myself obsessively sewing back together this old skin because it was comfortable and familiar, only to once again rip by rip release it.
I think this shed snake skin I found in my backyard yesterday was a beautiful reminder of the new life that is being created in me right now as I release these skins.
