Meet Puppy Brown 🐾

Meet the newest member of our family. This is Puppy Brown.

She belonged to my child’s grandfather, Pawpaw, who passed away last month. He loved his Chihuahuas, and now Puppy is figuring out her new life with us—a child, two other dogs, five cats, and one very blended little family.

She’s smart, spirited, and still figuring out where she fits. Although judging by the way things are going, she seems to have decided she fits at the top of the household hierarchy. 😂 She may be tiny, but apparently nobody told her.

It makes me smile when I think about the family we’ve created. I have my dad’s dog and cats, and now we have Pawpaw’s little Puppy too.

I’m incredibly grateful to be the steward of these creatures who were so deeply loved by people we loved. They are part of their stories, and now they get to keep writing theirs with us.

Welcome home, Puppy Brown. ❤️

Sometimes Grief Brings the Past Into the Present

Grief has a way of showing up without warning. This morning, memories of losing my father felt as fresh as if they had happened yesterday. I can’t change what happened, but I can choose what I do with the memories. Today, I choose love. I choose forgiveness. I choose to remember the gifts my parents gave me instead of only the pain of losing them.

Change the Attitude, Change the Experience

I used to HATE cleaning the litter boxes. Five cats. Huge boxes. So much litter. So much work. And I complained about it every single time.

Then I changed the process—and I changed my attitude.

I figured out smarter ways to do it. I stopped complaining. I started practicing gratitude. I put something on my phone that gives me something to think about, go outside early before it gets too hot, and use the time for reflection.

The litter boxes didn’t magically disappear. I changed how I experienced them.

Sometimes we don’t need a different life. We just need a different way of moving through the one we already have.

Yes, I’m the crazy cat lady—and I love it. 😂 Cats, dogs, goats, chickens, reptiles… I want to see them all. Drop a picture of your babies in the comments and tell me their names!

You Can Change Your Life

No matter what has happened to you, what you’ve been through, or what you’re still overcoming, you can change your life. It isn’t easy. It takes courage, work, and choosing yourself again and again. But it is worth it. And if nobody has told you today: I believe in you. I know you can do it.
