  • Painting spirit animals and turning adversity into art, also, how it's helping me cope and overcome some difficult news. This week we overhaul the Etsy shop where James helps me declutter, tidy and organise and also a complete rethink of Etsy as a platform. Is Etsy worth it? Should I leave Etsy? Halfway through the making of this video I received some bad news so I have shared what's going on for me too. And in between everything, I am burying my head into my creativity to help keep my balance with some mixed media painting of some spirit animals. As usual, please feel free to leave your comments down below. We can shine lights, share & inspire in this very special community of like~minded beings! Thank you so much for keeping me company in our little corner of RUclips. Love you all to bits, Biggest, Softest, Everythings, Wendy. Xx

She knows that's you :) What I have learned from you is to allow myself to enjoy my life and I am learning day to day to live in contentment. That's really huge for me and so I thank you for your gentle kindness, your open sharing about dealing with life as we know it today. The Blue Hare is beautiful 💙

    I left Etsy last year. It was a difficult decision, but I really don't regret it. I believe you get buried on Etsy. They don't do much for you really. They are expensive, and the (few) instances when I needed their help, they are non-existent. You are better off on your own. With 142K subscribers here, we will get word out for you and you will do better in reaching your followers and potential customers.
    I am sorry about the new station and hope it all works out. I don't have to tell you that sometimes things happen for a reason. Sometimes the worst things wind up to be something that was good for us when we are looking back. We were renting a home several years ago and were promised it would be for at least five years, as the owners moved 2 hours north. We fixed up the house to our liking and spent both time and resources making it nice and after about 2.5 years, we were notified that they were selling the house and we had to leave. Needless to say, we were livid. But we actually found another place within a few hours which was owned by family friends of my partner (Keith). We have been here four years and are so much happier and the place is far more suitable.This time we feel secure in that we won't have to leave until we are ready. Our landlord and his family are wonderful. We are grateful we were 'booted'. So maybe it is the way of the universe letting you know it is time to really move. You may find better and I would think that is a better plan to pursue rather than trying to fight. You are a good advocate and can continue with your group(s) who are questioning it, but it won't consume you or your resources. (PS - I don't even have a cell phone. I am a holdout and do fine without one. ;) )

Even when councils receive overwhelming negative feedback about a proposal - they still go ahead with it. What matters to people in power is maintaining their false narrative, controlling people and money. Good luck - (but I would also continue looking for a new place to live if I were you) - ☘️

    I understand you very much Wendy. Here in Germny, in the area which I live, we have been struggles with windmill parks they want to put up and they are known to cause health problems. Another thread are insects, that have started to come over from Asia and other warmer places, such as the Mediteranien, for example the asian wasp, which is killing our bees. This is due to warmer climate. It has been so rainy and humid the past years and no snow. When I look back to my childhood years, back in the 60s and 70s, we used to have dryer summers and loads of snow in winter. We even had a skilift in our hometown. It is long gone, taken down and transformed into a meadow.
    Chin up Wendy, you are a wonderful soal and life always finds a way to get things in order.

I know it's a highly unpopular opinion but I think things really do need to slow down....unfortunately we've been well and truly trained to want More and Faster by the big corporations that are pulling the puppet strings. *sigh*.

Anyway, I love hearing your opinions and the stand you are taking to bring this matter up here on your channel.I know it’s in the spirit of education, awareness and the best of intentions. Go lightly into the next chapter my fairy 🧚‍♂️ friendly art friend.

The cost of living is on everyones agenda. Its not easy. All we can do is make small things count. Liked our Art and our daily rituals. I hope you are feeling a bit better with holding onto those.

    I so agree with you on letting everyone have their say and see if there are areas where we agree or maybe can learn some valuable pieces of information. I had always been pro-wind power. I knew the dangers of nuclear and thought wind and sun were better-safer options. Then my small town had a wind farm built. One windmill was very close to a friends house and she began having problems and had to move. Also I learned the farm supplied only 2% of our power needs. As you said how do we make these decisions? Good discussion and food for thought. TY.

    I hear you Wendy on things moving so fast, without real discussion and research into whether or not all of this technology will create more harm than good.
    Where I live on the east coast of Australia, there is an offshore wind farm planned. I am all for finding new alternatives for sustainable energy. But to be putting massive turbines in the ocean, only a few kms off the coast seems to me that we are replacing one environmental disaster with another. There has been very little community consultation, the couple of community meetings that were held were not well publicised. The government and energy company have decided it’s going ahead. They way they’ve gone about it, seems very deliberately secret. I’m one to question things too. The lack of discussion on so many issues facing us all is really a concern. It’s a struggle because I dislike conflict too. But I think those of us who are natural questioners need to keep speaking, seeking truth, encouraging discussion, trying to get the powers that be slow down and see that there is more to life than money.

    Wendy I love your beautiful hares! So sweet! And I completely understand feeling exhausted and hopeless at times. It’s so important-as you know-to balance nurturing creativity, love, and being out in nature with “fighting the good fight.” I admire your activism. My 2 cents: the large corporations and conglomerates are like a soulless combine, plowing everything in front of it under, with no regard to respect or health, all to increase their profit and power. They’re often run by people who have no problem lying and cheating and intimidating to achieve their goals. Slowing down, pausing, resetting and going backward is not in their playbook. Winning against them is arduous and can take decades. But we must try. Because we can make a difference, as you mentioned in the other example as well as other wins we’re lucky to hear about or be part of. My concern is with you and your health-yours and James. That’s your priority! Much love!

    26:30 You raise an interesting question: *"can we slow down?"* Methinks the outside world will NOT slow-down, therefore, in order to achieve and maintain balance, we need to slow-down internally - indeed: "Peace. Be still." (as a famous person once said!) is our Spiritual work. Perhaps, the outside . . . chaos . . . is the exact stimulus we need to remind ourselves/to remember to turn inward: to regain our calm.

    RUclips just suggested your channel, and I've watched 3 or 4 videos in a row. I identify with so many things you talk about. Also you've made me miss the times I'd draw or paint. I live in a country where nobody buys art. People expected me to offer my art for free, and it made me so sad that my depression got worse. So I stopped drawing and painting, I mean, what's the point. Love your art and content, just subscribed!

    Your hare sketches are bringing me tears. I have the opportunity to rescue and (very shortly) foster a rabbit I found in our parking lot. I lost my rabbit 2 years ago, and it felt like this baby bunny was sent to me for a reason. I can’t keep him (or her)…so I’m grieving about when I’ll have to bring him to a shelter this week. Rabbits are everywhere for me right now. 🤍

    I can surely empathize; I wake up some days feeling like I've been hit by a semi truck (lorry?). And some days the smallest chore, like mowing my very flat lawn with a self-propelled mower, puts me down for the count, which is 2 full days. Treat yourself like you would your child. We make sure they get enough rest, regular meals, reasonable bedtimes, and extra naps as needed. We also squeeze in beautiful moments with nature as needed. BTW, from watching you draw the hares, I get the feeling that the thing you struggle most with may be the thing you end up really mastering.

    I agree that technology is moving to fast, faster than we can possibly keep up with. In today’s world Wi-Fi, cell phones are part of our lives and are much needed in many ways, but I would not want a cell phone tower essentially in my back yard. Every little piece of empty square land in my town is being built on. Mostly very high end apartment buildings most people can’t afford to live in. We dream of moving to a much more secluded, quieter area, but then comes the loss of internet, Wi-Fi, and cell service that we use to make a living with. My kids school from home, my husband works from home, so we feel very stuck in the situation we are in.
    I did connect with you when you were talking about compartmentalizing your brain in ways. I want to be a minimalist, we don’t need “stuff”. I have very little attachment to things, one of my hobbies is photography so our life is well documented. But in the same sense I’m also a creative, I love art supplies and when it comes to that I want all the stuff, lol. I try very hard to keep things to a minimum, but it’s hard. So my brain is in a constant battle of wanting to get rid of everything, but keeping everything at the same time. Almost everything outside of my creative habits can go, but my camera and my art supplies stay.
