  I love supporting brands with a good cause.  Monarch Botanika is one of these brands.  They are  skincare brand with a purpose. At a time when the future of the   monarch   butterfly is uncertain,   Monarch Botanika  is truly making a difference as a sustainable, environmentally conscious company serving a greater cause.     As you may well know, the  monarch  butterfly population is rapidly declining and this situation isn't limited to  monarchs - it's a warning for all pollinators that share these fragile habitats. Purchasing  Monarch  Botanika products is one of the most effective ways to help fund critical habitat creation and protection immediately since every sale supports projects that give  monarchs  and other pollinators a fighting chance. Together, we can restore what's been lost—before it's too late.  By the way, their products are wonderful. I was sent their skin cleanser an...

Barbara Barth is a wonderful author who recently wrote Sleeping with Dogs: A Poetic Memoir .  I wanted to have her as a guest on my blog to tell you a little bit about herself and her art.  She is a truly talented woman.  Meet Barbara Barth  My art makes me happy! I love painting and when I’m working on a canvas, I’m totally relaxed and oblivious to anything going on outside of my studio. Except for the Chihuahuas. They are sleeping all around the room in their little beds, content I’m at home .  I use the word studio loosely since I paint (and write) on a primitive farm table in my den. My paints are in a rolling cart next to me, and I hold my canvas on my lap leaning it against the farm table edge. I do have easels, but I find this works well for me. It’s messy with paint splattering on  me,  my laptop, farm table, chair, floor ,  and even a dollop might land on a dog close by. One of my poems addresses this situation. I ’m addicted to acrylic p...
