Quote from: tgirlamg on March 12, 2025, 05:46:10 PMWe lost our two beloved senior kitties last year... My little blind orphan kitten Katie and our older adoptee SeaCat...They passed within 3 weeks of each other and I still miss them both every day...But! My husband and I went to the SPCA last July and adopted two 8 week old tabby sister kittens...They bring us so much joy each day and involve themself in everything we do! They love to get in the sink while i am doing dishes etc!..

Hey Ashley, it's so nice to see you back here! I'm so sorry to hear about your kitties. Losing them must have been really tough. But it's beautiful that you and your hubby found joy again with your new little tabby sisters. They sound like a bundle of energy and love. Thanks for sharing the pics, they're adorable!

I love the scenery pics too, they're absolutely breathtaking!

Quote from: tgirlamg on March 12, 2025, 05:46:10 PMAlso... I have been meaning to mention around here that if anyone has been considering an LED Red Light Therapy Mask... I have had some really noticiable results using them since the beginning of the year...i was pretty skeptical about them doing much but, started to see results just a week into daily use... YMMV but, I have been amazed!

I agree with Lori, you're looking amazing! And thanks for sharing your experience with the LED Red Light Therapy Mask. I just looked it up, and it might be something I'll try once I'm done with electrolysis.

I always enjoy my time (when I get it) walking along the central California beaches. The beaches are so much better than the beaches here father south in Orange County.

Oh!  I agree so much!  I include the northwestern Oregon beaches in my favorite walks.

Dear Ashley:
Thank you so much for coming back and finding the time to submit your posting on your Blog Thread.
I love the pictures of your 2 newly adopted cats...  they appear to be quite comfortable on your bed
and in your home, and I like how they cuddle with each other... I am guessing that they are siblings???

It is good for me to see your post and your pictures once again.
Please post again soon on your blog thread and all around the Forum.
HUGS, Danielle [Northern Star Girl]  ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much Danielle! They are indeed siblings!... I am so glad we took the pair! They have a very deep bond with each other! 😺💕😺

Quote from: Lori Dee on March 12, 2025, 07:58:09 PMLooking good, Ashley!

I like the darker hair color. It looks good.

Love the kitties. In that first pic, you can tell which one is trouble. 

Thank you and that is a good call on the kitty Lori 😅👍 Daisy is highly spirited for sure!!! I have had cats all my life and she is the first one that loved to play fetch... When she wants to play she will meow at you very loudly and continuously until you throw her bottle cap for her so she can retrieve it and bring it back for the next throw... 💕😺💕

Thank you so much for the kind words little sister! 💕🤗💕 definitely check out the masks! I had great results with one in the $80 range that I was gifted... I was so impressed I just changed over to one of the more pricey ones made by Currentbody!

Hugs! 🌻

Hey Ellen!

I hear ya! I grew up around the crowded SoCal beaches, definitely a different vibe up here! Many days I almost have the beach to myself... We do have a tourist influx on the weekend but the crowds are nothing like down there... I hope you can make it up this way again soon! 🌻

I am 100% not a cat person. Give me doggies every single time. But I know the pain of loss and Ash, I want to give you a really big hug. Whatever makes you happy. If you're the crazy cat lady, or the demented doggo girl... doesn't matter. They add so much light to your life. The pain of loss is the same.

What I will say is.. you live in a very beautiful part of the world. And you are quite stunning yourself.

Not least because of your appearance.

Ha!... I admit I do have all the makings of a crazy cat lady! I wouldn't be the first one in my family either! I actually only had a few months in my whole life where I haven't had at least one cat and sometimes up to six... 😺😺😺😺😺😺 🤪

 I have always felt my connections with animals deeply and I always try to do my best for any animal that I can help in some way... even if it is just a little bug that needs to be gently relocated out of harms way so he can get on with his life! 🐜

Thank you for the sweet words kind sister and thank you for all the loving and hope filled perspective you offer around here to those who are seeking and needing,  just that! ...You are an angel! 😇🙏💕

I love your Buddha quote in the signature line too! Well done! 🤗

Lotsa Love, Hugs and Respect Always!

Somehow I am really not surprised by that at all, Ash. You are the champion of the vulnerable. You are very kind, very gentle and caring towards people. I admire that greatly. You go out of your way to make people feel better. It's no small leap to be like that in the wider natural world. I can totally see you with your kitty cat army around your feet, lol.

You are a blessing to the world. Not even kidding. Maybe the world wouldn't be in the state it's in if there were more people like you around. Never change, okay? The cats rely on it!

If you can find it watch the cartoon of Simons cat on FB ,it made me laugh and it captures the cat mentality perfect.

Sephirah!

Thanks again for the kind words sister! You are a Love! 💕🤗💕

Hey Davina!

I had never heard of Simon's Cat but, YouTube is brimming with shorts and longer episodes as well... Good Stuff! Simon obviously has a great deal of kitty experience to draw on! 💕😺👍

Here is one that pretty much sums up my mornings...



Onward!

Ashley, dear,

Looking at your selfies, I was wondering if you have a painting of yourself in your attic that's aging instead of you? You seem more feminine year after year. I love when you post photos; you're so pretty; it gives hope and is inspiring. Is happiness possible and achievable?

Nice "wild life" pics too. I don't know where you're living, and it's nobody's business, but it sure makes me want one day to visit that area.

I am always happy when I see you posting sister!

Thank you for the kind words sweet girl... I don't have the dreaded portrait in the attic but, I think happiness in itself can be something of a fountain of youth and, in answer to your question... YES!... Happiness is an achievable state for all of us... I truly believe it is most easily found when we simply choose it... I think a fulfilling content perspective is always there for us to adopt with a choice yet, we tend to think of happiness as some remote location..the road there long and arduous with many pitfalls and obstacles that can block our way...

There is a quote I like:

"Don't wish me happiness
I don't expect to be happy all the time...
It's gotton beyond that somehow.
Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor.
I will need them all."

― Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea

I think the power in the journeys of so many here is their coming, finally, to the realization that our lives are what we make them to be... the power is ours and we have always had it... so why not make our lives happy and fulfilling? ... and when we find that out... how can we not trumpet out the secret so others can find their way to their own power too?

All that you seek is within your grasp little sister!... I am wishing you Courage, Strength and A Sense Of Humor as you find your way!

Hugs and Lotsa Love,

Ashley 💕

The question was purely rhetorical. That beautiful smile on your selfies was a prior, and sufficient, response!

Hey All,

We have an open area behind our house that is wooded and wild... It is rare to look out the bedroom window and not see at least one and often many deer but... a special treat is always seeing the first fawn of the season! I spotted this little one out the bedroom window Monday morning exploring his brand new world. I have named him "Scooter" 💕🦌💕

With all the prego moms I see, he will soon have lots of friends to play with!

Scooter is so adorable! That's a great name.

Ooohhh! So cute!

I had deer in my garden, but never saw a fawn yet!

Onward, Scooter!

Thanks, Ashley
Reading your lyrical prose and viewing your lovely pictures were the best fifteen minutes of my day. Thaks for the unexpected gift.

Quote from: Lori Dee on March 28, 2025, 04:29:08 PMScooter is so adorable! That's a great name.

He lives up to the name!... He scoots when he realizes he is slightly further from mom than he is comfortable with! 🌻

Onward, Scooter!

Keep watching and you will one day be rewarded... there is a group in town that fosters awareness of the local deer... they said Scooter is the first fawn in town they know of... they are going to start posting some "watch out for fawn signs" on the streets around here which will be nice! 🤗
