I like your art work. It looks like as you would use the process of drawing to transform you inner feelings into something visible. I love the "They railroaded me" drawing the most. It is a very special self portrait of yourself. Keep up the good work!
I like your colorful art work. It looks like as you would enjoy drawing as a little escape from the daily circumstances within prison reality. Thank you for sharing with us! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for bringing my attention to Marley's Mission! What a cool program! I'm going to follow them on Facebook.
I used to volunteer with an equine therapy program, but it was geared toward people with physical disabilities. The horses helped the clients with things like confidence, too, but it was considered more of a side benefit.
Please tell us more about your Lifer's Organization and how it is able to donate money to places on the outside. I'm curious to know where the money comes from and how the group decides where it will go? Would you say 'giving back' is important to the lifers?
So you asked about our trip to CA. We try to take a trip every Feb to somewhere warm. The last few years we've done Sedona, AZ. We like the scenery there and the hiking is amazing. But then we got worried we were not seeing other places in the US, so we decided to try somewhere different this year. We went to CA to visit my old college roommate for a weekend, then took off on our own to visit Joshua Tree National Park for the remainder of the week. It was cool to see, but I guess our hearts are really in Sedona. Both are desert areas but Sedona has trees and some other plants that are green. Joshua Tree was pretty much brown. It was pretty in its own way and I'm glad we saw it, but it's not a place we will likely ever return.
I'm sorry to hear about your mom and hope you are able to connect with her this week. It is tough to lose someone, and I'm sure it's tougher in your situation. You asked if I'm a mom - I like to joke that I'm just a "dog mom". LOL We never really wanted kids and it's been a good decision for us. A lot of people don't understand it, but it is what it is. We're aunt and uncle to some special kids, and that's enough for us. :)
So on that semi-deep note, I think I'll close for now. Looking forward to hearing your progress with the Lifer's Organization and how things are going with the pups in there!
