I hope everyone is doing well and that energies are treating you kindly! It's been a busy week, full of running around, helping out others, and dealing with drama that certain people decide to stir up. My friend finally had her baby, which was super exciting, and her daughter was ecstatic to have a baby sister as an early birthday present. With all the chaos and drama the world at large is kicking up (so many people seem mentally unwell yet acting as if they are in their right mind), it's so fulfilling to be with people that are actually thinking clearly and with common sense, with people that genuinely care and support you, wishing you the best instead of being two-faced and backstabbing. Not sure if it has anything to do with the recent energies and full moon or what, but people have been tripping hard yet seem to have little or no self-awareness and self-reflection. Hopefully, for their own sake and the sake of everyone around them, they start seeing clearly (how they've been choosing to act is pretty sad, but we don't have any say in how others choose to be in this world). Here's hoping the rest of 2024 and then 2025 will be calmer and with more love, peace, joy, care, respect, and understanding rather than all this chaos, division, hate, cruelty, and disrespect.

The boys had a pretty average week, full of school, homework, and after school activities. They were excited to hear about my friend's new baby (and how her daughter reacted to the news). The older brother wanted to know what my friend's daughter got for her birthday this week and had all sorts of plans for what he would get for his birthday next week, recommending all sorts of things people should get for him (like new Funko Pop figures). I know they're both looking forward to the upcoming Thanksgiving break in a little less than 2 weeks.
The cooler fall weather has had Tsuki embracing the cozy cat naps and sleepy snuggling; she has been snoozing and relaxing so much, whether it be on her favorite chair, her cat house, on the couch, on the stairs, in the sunshine on the porch, or cuddled up next to me. She's been rather funny, though, opting not just to snuggle up with my lap/legs but to even cuddle up with my feet. Tsuki's such an adorable goof, and I'm grateful to have her in my life.
Artwork for the week included more diamond art and a gift for my friend's new baby:
This week I created more new content for Creativity Chronicles, so feel free to check out the newest content!
New Creativity Chronicles' content included:
No matter what life throws your way, follow your heart and intuition; you don't need to tell others "yes" if it's a major "no" for you. You're allowed to live a life where you thrive and have a peace of mind. You have every right to say "no" to those individuals, things, and situations that drain you, that do not resonate, that do not align with your values. Strive for a life of harmony, integrity, and joy. Not everyone or everything will be a match for you, and you do not have to get dragged down to lower levels of energy and into the metaphorical mud. You can remain flexible, open, and adaptable to go with the flow while remaining true to yourself. Do what's best for you; those that are unsupportive of what you need, that disrespect you and belittle/invalidate, are not your people, and you don't need to surround yourself with that energy. If they can't understand why it's hurtful and wrong despite your attempts to clearly communicate with them and have an open, honest, vulnerable conversation with them, you don't need to keep expending energy on them. That's not to say you wish them ill will, but your time, energy, and effort are precious gifts that you can expend at your discretion--not everyone is entitled to it, and you have every right to be selective. You can go no contact--you don't owe them anything. Those that genuinely care for you will put in the effort to improve things and actually listen to you. Do what you need to do; your peace of mind is invaluable, so create a life where you not only survive but thrive. Take care, be gentle with yourself, and have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
