Our furry friends are often close to our hearts, accepting us day in and day out, no matter what. When they are gone, we miss their friendship profoundly. Bob was the son of a feral cat who moved into our garage during COVID. He had heart problems but he was the funniest, loving-est cat and we all miss him. He also had fabulous fur and we nickname his famous locks Fabio. 

Missing somewhere? Maybe you had to move suddenly and didn't have time to grieve leaving your home behind. Whatever it is, or however you are connected to a certain place, you can remember your time there, your hopes, your grief, or your ended dreams with a picture of its name in the sand by the sea. Cocoa, my assistant, is sitting on the word "home."

Perhaps a relationship or a role in your life has ended. Perhaps it happened before you were ready, or long after you wished it had.  Maybe it's a divorce or separation or the loss of a job, but something has changed. When my dad died, besides losing her husband, my mom also abruptly lost her lifetime role as pastor's wife. Maybe you gave up a role or relationship. Maybe it was taken away. Here you can acknowledge those additional layers of loss.  

Maybe you are aging and have had to let some things go. Maybe you have gone through a breakdown/breakthrough and are letting parts of the past go. Maybe you see something new in yourself and you are sad that it did not bloom sooner. Or maybe you just want your name written in the sand. Maybe there's a word that tells a little bit of your story. Or maybe you need a new name or nickname, one that helps you know you are seen and loved and accepted as you are. I can write that too.
