Well, how about them apples.
"Being Broken is more than a story of survival. It is an honest, heartbreaking and redemptive guide for those who are reclaiming their voice, rebuilding identity, and finding peace after tragedy and loss."

So, we're applying for our daughter to go to a private school. We believe that she will excel there as the schools here are not adequate for her needs. This letter shows why. It's the first of 3 letters coming.
It brought tears to my eyes. I knew she was an incredible kid, but it's still moving.

Putting in a heat pump this year to offset the heating bill. Installer says he needs a 4x4' concrete pad to put it on.
Of course, since the snow is about to drop, all the concrete companies are booked solid.
I'll do it myself!
Not complicated, but still pretty proud of myself.

And the honey cake.
It's sweet but not too sweet, and has the texture of a soft, heavy banana bread, without the banana.

Mount Logan painting for my master class. Using the grid method to transfer from photo to wood canvas. Light underpainting since this will be mostly snow and clouds. 3x4'.
Needed a break from the heavy painting of my sister's death.
Reference photo included.

Soulmass cookies (biscuits).
These are like scones, but sweet and with mixed spice. Pretty good. We used a pumpkin cutter, for the season.

Vegetable pottage. It's really good. Tastes exactly like my father-in-law's turkey soup, without the turkey.

It happens with the sun too, but in the middle of the night during the midnight sun.

What drew me to #Korn was how powerful and open the lyrics were about trauma and abuse, and living the life of a survivor.
Coupled with the sick heavy riffs, they captured the anger and sadness of living with trauma.
I lost myself at this concert. I raged, near tears. It was powerful. Amazing.

Very important.
It is an excellent example of how lateral violence is developed through learned behaviour.
Yelling begets yelling.
Anger begets anger.
Abuse trickles down in a spiral.
