Best of the Best 2022 Here we are 2023 is knocking on the door, and we are about to say farewell to 2022. Hopefully quietly, with no fireworks involved, but I know better than to think we can get that lucky! So we will just stay home and be there to comfort our confused doggos. Really the best place for us to celebrate anyways :-)
A first peek at some of the footage from our trip to South Africa. Such a magical time. We traveled to a variety of awesome locations; The Kruger National Park, the small fishing town of Dullstroom, St Lucia along the Indian Ocean, Cathedral Peaks in the Central Drakensburg and finally the town of Clarens that I hope to someday call home (at least
Yup, at times it may seem that I am the dog lady, but pets absolutely come in all shapes and sizes! What a great experience to spend some time with Cassie and her chickens. They adore her and she spoils them just as much as I spoil my swell little pups!
So I had to stop myself and ask, why is something happening halfway around the world affecting me so much? I have been fortunate enough to travel to many places on this spinning orb. What is it about my time in Cape Town that has my heart breaking as I hear the news of the devastating fire that is currently raging, not only on Table

Adobe MAX was a couple weeks ago. It is one of those big events that I make sure to catch every year when it comes out. Adobe and Apple both bring out some pretty awesome creatives for their annual events. This year the biggest take away from both events combined was one of the artists, Shantell Martin, who presented during the Adobe Keynote, Creativity Is
Lesson Two of my book journey. Never Give Up! Those of you that know me were likely as surprised as me when I decided to jump into this whole dog show thing.
