I made this quickly-crafted bookmark today 🦇💝...decorative tape, paper, and marker 🪄🔖😉.
This character qoute defines how my mom and I feel right now.
We're frightened FOR our county, state, & country. We are terrified FOR wildlife and Mother Nature. We are horrified FOR girls, Children, and women. We fear FOR our Californians, both born and immigrant. We are worried FOR our Indigenous Americans being mistakenly targeted by ICE.

Although this is based on a real life event, I didn't give real life details...I wanted to capture the sum of the scene.
I've caught the news coverage twice, and believe it was a Jacaranda that the poor woman held onto.
If a Jacaranda, it's strangely symbolic. Legend has said that this tree was blessed by a Goddess.
This Legend is in the next comment.
Then following the legend, there is an All Creator prayer. Creators Ancient and modern.

Meet Hoss, a pencil fairy I made from a little pencil. Sits on a pencil sharpener rocking chair from Ponderosa Ranch.
Miss visiting the Ponderosa Ranch in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA. Such a fun, beautiful place. My family's, yearly vacation place when I was a child. We loved the breakfast hayride with eggs, sausage, etc. And the lake view 😍🌲🐎🌲💝💝💝.

It has been 31 Days since little t has been in office...the chaos he has already caused America! And out of the 100 day countdown, we still have 69 days!
Time to fill up my coffee bean box, it is a mixture of three types of coffee. Coffee is my remedy to remain calm ☕🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸🙏.
I think I'm going to need a bigger stash of coffee beans for the remainder of the 3years+.

Made this as a gift.
Doll-like figure with a beaded read dress fastened onto the Native Medicine Wheel.
The red dress represents the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Woman and Girls. Wanted to include a red hand, yet I always preferred the dress symbol. Both symbolize the same cause.
🙏💔❤️🩹💝.

Was considering which of my illustrations I want for my profile, and decided on this one. It is from my, “To Be Continued“ page.
While I tried to keep the first book more on the light and cozy side, the second book becomes more serious and darker. I believe this illustration highlights this, and gives a hint to what is to come if my hero doesn't succeed.

Every morning and evening we turn to our Catholic God. We relinquish to Him our anger and feel like He gifts us Hope in return.
We believe that this turns our fury into fuel.
My mom has her outlets, and Litsy has become mine.
Thank you Littens for your patience with my posts. I will always be thankful that I was met with such kindness and understanding here 😘📚💝
