You need a large box of crayons by your bed.
What if there was an emergency—
you woke up in the middle of the night
and urgently needed to color?

Every time I move, a little face looks up to check we’re still doing things together. And of course we are, even if it’s only filling pots and sweeping the greenhouse floor.

Truth.
Chocolate is not a food.
Chocolate is a tool to fix things,
a therapist to soothe,
a medicine to heal,
a hug.

You have the right to say No, without explaining.
{Or, you can claim secret reasons.}

Today, I salute tangerine crayons.
Things colored tangerine have flavor and whimsy:
mandarine oranges
fire opals
sunsets
the center of flames
ginger-colored hair
the fate of every green leaf in Fall
A cheerful color, tangerine has the most fun.

Looking for a heart-healthy activity, in addition to exercising?
Be kind. Be extraordinarily kind to other people.

Color affects us.
Everyone should have a paintbox and a large box of crayons near their desk.

Wabi-sabi 侘寂 values impermanence and the withered marks of age.
Nothing is perfect,
nothing lasts,
nothing is finished.
Beautiful.

Many hardware-store owners are discovering that their cats are more than just mousers. “People come in to say they specifically want to see the cats.”

Actually making ART activates our brain's reward pathway. Even doodling!

August 8 is #InternationalCatDay.
My rescue cat. The shelter said no one would even visit the black ones.
Named her Snow White (I study folktales).

Dolores Huerta was a hero of mine.
When she co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962, people thought Dolores was crazy. “How are you going to organize farm workers,” she remembered being asked. "They are poor, powerless immigrants.” But that’s exactly what she did, helping thousands of migrant laborers working in brutal conditions make their voices heard, and demand something better.
Dolores spent the rest of her life fighting for marginalized communities, even as she herself faced sexism and abuse — including, as she revealed earlier this year, from Cesar Chavez and others within her own movement. She also came up with a pretty good slogan, “Si, se puede” — Yes, we can — that I too often get credit for. But as usual, Dolores got there first.
Michelle and I are thinking of Dolores’s family, the people whose lives she changed, and everyone who drew inspiration from her example.

The face of a dog who is absolutely appalled that you’d even suspect her. She’s just as shocked as you are ! 😂Possibly more so. And she’d like to know what time dinner is, once this unpleasant business is behind us.
