I'm all about creative creature comfort these days. These creatures are all extensions of ourselves, and thank goodness we have our imaginations to keep them alive. Thanks for reminding me I'm not alone.

So helpful when the Big self and the Little self are pals. (Whiskers help too!) Thanks Jill!

Thank you Jill you really have enriched my life. Looking at your art and listening to what you have to say have really warmed my heart and helped me through a difficult time. In 2025 I had a reverse shoulder replacement and every time I did my physical therapy I hurt myself. As it turns out I had a tendon rubbing on a piece of my shoulder blade so in February of this year I had to have that tendon cut. At any rate I had to start my rehab all over again which was really a bummer but you helped me get through.

The words that floated up for me when I read this post and gazed at your cats were from Dr. Seuss - "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose." You have all the wisdom you need, but it is a lovely image to have that big fluffy cat at the ready to offer comfort and reassurance and, how clever of you to create that image. As a retired therapist, I promise never to charge for any affirmation offered. You are a wonder and a delightful gift to the universe!

One of my favorite children's books, and I've been reading it over and over to my newborn grandson.
