Unseen Colours
What does colour mean to you? Beyond the physical, beyond the visual. What comes to mind when you think of a colour? What feelings does that colour evoke in you? What memories does it call forth in you? What does colour mean to you? It's a question that everyone will answer differently. One person's view of a colour will never match another's. I can't tell you how to see a colour and I can't tell you how to feel about a colour. All I can do is share my colours with you. So, without further ado, these are my colours.

From Grief to Life
My family is no strangers to pets. We’ve had everything from cats to bunnies to a truly spectacular number of fish. We’ve adopted our pets from stores and shelters, they’ve been store raised and strays. However, this story isn’t about them. This story is about my pet, my precious little kitten and how he came into my life. This story started on January 6, 2015, the worst moment of my life, the day my brother died. We were born only 16 months apart and he was the most important person in my life. He was always there to encourage me, make me smile and had always been by my side. So, you can imagine that losing him was more than heartbreaking and that after I did, I found that I was pretty lonely. My other siblings were many years older than me and not living at home, so we hadn’t been very close at the time. So, to help ease my loneliness I asked my parents if I could get a pet. A therapy pet to help me through my grief, to support me and give me a whole new reason to smile.
