Bernie Berlin and A PLACE TO BARK: an update

An update, my friends, on the much-needed work that artist Bernie Berlin is doing for animals in need ... she has a strong message: Please SPAY / NEUTER your pets. PLEASE!

the beautiful BERNIE BERLIN of A PLACE TO BARK animal rescue in Tennessee (and author of the amazing book, THE ARTIST TRADING CARD WORKSHOP)

A PLACE TO BARK is Bernie's rescue facility in Tennessee -- her tireless work on behalf of hundreds of dogs and cats each year is inspiring and if you get to know her and her work, it is overwhelmingly beautiful. She is full of love, spirit, generosity, energy, devotion & dedication to her cause. PLS read the press release by clicking on this link to see what the ANTI-CRUELTY SOCIETY in Chicago has to say about Bernie's work:

If you are so moved to make a contribution, however large or small, to support Bernie's work at A PLACE TO BARK, you can find a DONATE button in the sidebar of my blog. Please do it, if you can spare a buck or a hundred. ;-)

Thank you,

Davielle

WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE

FOR September 2012 ...

Outside My Window today... 61 degrees @ 9:45 am on 9-8-12, with an expected high of 88 today; blue skies; a charming back yard with an old white iron bench in the corner, and three amazing cyclists warming up for their criterium (bike race) today at the 2012 Masters National Cycling Championships here in Bend, Oregon.

I am STILL thinking ... about how excited I am for 2013's AN ARTFUL JOURNEY, which I am registered to attend!

I am thankful for ... all my loved ones, and the kindnesses they show me.

From the kitchen ... Zucchini Bread with Cranberries & Pistachios and an awesome pot of coffee

I am wearing ... my pajamas with my ocelot-print flannel robe

I am creating ... ideas for a Magpie's Art Nest workshop or two in 2013; and curriculum plans for a NWF Habitat Stewards Training series in Encinitas, Ca in 2013

I am going ... into downtown Bend shortly to see my husband Mark and his teammates Steve, John, Joey, Mike, Bob, Alex and our housemate Kal race for a national championship in the masters 54-59 Criterium event.

I am reading ... ALL THE DANCING BIRDS by Auburn McCanta; "Desire to Inspire" by Christine Mason Miller (in bits here & there, to let it sink in); and I'm about to start MY FATHER'S HOUSES (Memoir of a Family) by Steven V. Roberts.

I am praying ... mostly for my father, who now lives in a memory care facility and who turns 92 in 2 weeks; for healthy and happy family members and friends; for the safe arrival of our next grandchild, Jamison, who is due in January 2013; and for many friends the world over who have asked me to pray for and with them. There are many, many intentions in my prayer journal these days.

I've been listening to ... a lot of classis rock on this holiday - it's good driving music, and it's good 'gathering / party' music for a houseful of mature male cyclists with their one (that would be me) 'housemother'. Bike racing, it's good stuff.

Around the house ... it's pretty quiet with us here and my niece and great-niece there.

One of my favorite things ... waking up every day.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The YEAR: a 3-night return trip home from Bend, taking our time so we aren't in the car for as many hours each day; 5 nights in Healdsburg, CA in October; getting re-certified with NWF (national wildlife federation) as a Habitat Steward HOST in their Wildlife Habitat Garden program ...
