This little girl is Amazing!
I listened to this audio book for teens, (the cover drew me in) called “Speak”…it was compared to another teen book called “13 reasons why” which a librarian had recommended to me to read. I had told her that I like the creativity of a lot of the books I’ve read that were written for teens. Anyways, although “Speak” was a decent book on the dark subject of rape, I thought 13 reasons why was much better. That being said, perhaps this will be more relatable to some young people , and it is a subject that needs various authors and perspectives. My favorite thing about the entire book is the afterword. I will share it here:
I love this, so true…words to live by:
In her own words;
Judi Dench
“Don’t prioritise your looks my friend, as they won’t last the journey.
Your sense of humor though, will only get better with age.
Your intuition will grow and expand like a majestic cloak of wisdom.
Your ability to choose your battles, will be fine-tuned to perfection.
Your capacity for stillness, for living in the moment, will blossom.
Your desire to live each and every moment will transcend all other wants.
Your instinct for knowing what (and who) is worth your time, will grow and flourish like ivy on a castle wall.
Don’t prioritise your looks my friend,
they will change forevermore, that pursuit is one of much sadness and disappointment.
Prioritise the uniqueness that make you you, and the invisible magnet that draws in other like-minded souls to dance in your orbit.
These are the things which will only get better.”

#Inktober52, Week 30/Prompt: ‘Celtic’ :

I’ll put this one in under my ‘darker works’ segment. It was done fairly quickly (mixed media) , but I like it. A good metaphor for what it can often feel like when you have ME/CFS.

Another hilarious video by Bill Bowles:
Some videos by comedic artist Bill Bowles (he is on Instagram as well and does some awesome cartoons) I believe his videos go by the name Mike Santry, but he is the same creator….Brilliant stuff. These are from his youtube channel. Pre-warning, Some might find the God video disturbing and/or offensive. I, however, find it hilarious, so, I’m sharing it here:
