So me

I hope I never get tired of taking pictures, the color blue, and reading. I hope I always love tacos and margaritas and Mexican music and culture. The Spanish language and people. I hope I always remember to focus inwards and be aware, awareness is the root of everything. I hope my kids grow up … Continue reading So me →

Rescue

That first deep sleep after coming home from the shelter. The hesitation, the waiting for permission to jump on the couch. To go in a room. To eat the food or treats. The ears back, tail between the legs, "are you really sure I can do this thing, this basic-needs thing" that they damn sure … Continue reading Rescue →

There’s this guy, and these two little girls, and they’ve stolen my heart and held it safely in their hands for me, and I, lucky dog, get to keep and protect theirs. They’re my people, my everything. The reason I get up everyday and the reason I work and laugh and pray and cry and dream and am happy happy happy. And I will never have enough words, in any language, or be able to give enough hugs and love, or share enough silly social media posts, to have them understand even a smidgen of what loving them feels like for me. They are my perfectly imperfect life that I have the honor of living. I am deeply blessed. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Testimonials

“Ok. I am absolutely obsessed with the fact that you named your blog the amazing dodo. I thought you hated that name! But it’s my name for you and I use it because of how much I love you and to see you using it like that makes me so friggin happy, I can’t even. And also, I absolutely love your writing. It is a beautiful gift and I am so glad you are letting yourself do it! You inspire me. And I love you so damn much, my Dodo.” - Dodo's baby sister who gave her this awesome nickname when she was a baby because she couldn't pronounce her real name

All We Need is Love

I feel the closest to Love/God when I write. I am not a religious person, on the contrary, God has been a hard nugget to swallow in this life. Recently I became aware that Love is God, and God is Love, and if you read the Bible or any Truth and swap out your God's name with "Love" it will have the same meaning. To me, I need this word change, as my literal mind believes God is an external man that lives in the clouds and judges us all, allows mass pain and ugly to fill our lives. Love though, oh Love, that's why we are here isn't it? It's the highest energy level that exists and wondrously never ceases to prevail. It is the weed that grows through the cracks of our souls and brings us back to ourselves. All we need is Love, and Love is all we need.
