 If you have been hanging around for a while I'm glad you are still here, if you are a new reader welcome.

If you have been following along you know that I like a creative challenge! I have begun to play around with Stable Diffusion and other AI art programs. I can't draw a straight line let alone create beautiful art work like a professional but the AI programs allow me to take an image that is in my head and create it for all to see.

Pinterest this will take you to my main Pinterest page for this ID cmarois60. I am debating if I should switch back to the old site as more people go there but it seems like a lot of work to copy everything over to the other ID cherylmarois.

I have been thinking about reorganizing my online life so that it takes less of my time but since nearly everything I do is connected to the computer I don't think I can do much. Today I have a few things I want to get done. Among them are giving you my personal lists and printing out the bits and bobs I need for my Journal.

These are 6 of my 10 or so lists for this month. As you can see I am continuing my study on Flora, this month it is plants that can heal/ hurt/ or both depending on what part you use and how much of it. I am going to work on a proper Fungi Board as I need to know a lot about them for my story. Or rather Woulfs story when ever I actually finish getting the plot figured out.

I have been using ChatGPT to flesh out details and Art AI to bring it alive. It is a slow process because I am doing everything on my own from thought to finished image. I am lucky that I have several people in my life who help me with different lessons but the final images are my own. That said I would like to introduce Woulf to you all and get your opinions of this guy as my main character.

Woulf (draft image)
Woulf is a striking figure in the enchanted forest, embodying a balance of youthful vigor and careful sophistication. With sleek, smooth black fur that glistens under the moonlight, he stands as a symbol of the untamed wilderness. His eyes, a keen amber, reveal a wisdom beyond his years, reflecting a deep connection to the mystical realm. Despite his wild nature, Woulf is meticulous about his appearance, moving with a fluid grace that speaks of both his lupine agility and the deliberate care he takes in presenting himself. As he navigates the enchanted forest, Woulf is not only a symbol of the wild but also a testament to the delicate equilibrium between the human and the primal.

 His world is separate from ours, a self contained forest maintained by a guardian spirit. It is in trouble. Something has made the Guardian sick. This in turn has caused the denizens of the forest to sicken as well. In particular it interferes with reproduction.

Embracing Self-Love in Your 60s: Nurturing Your Well-being

By
  As we journey through life, self-love becomes an increasingly important companion, especially as we reach our 60s. This is a time for embracing who we are, celebrating our journey, and prioritizing our well-being like never before. Self-love isn't just about indulging in occasional treats; it's a daily practice of nurturing our minds, bodies, and spirits. Here are some tips to help you embrace self-love in your 60s and beyond: 1.       Prioritize Self-Care: Start each day with a simple self-care routine.

May 13- Take off and arrival

By
 Getting up at 6 am is ungodly early but we had to leave by 7 am to get to the airport on time. We went to the airport by Lyft so that wasn't so bad and he was able to get us there well within our window.  One good thing to know about travelling by plane, put your ticket on your phone because you have to show it at least 5 times before you get on the plane. You will also need some kind of ID to get on the plane. As an unseasoned traveller I have a lot to learn, this is only my second time flying. Next time maybe I'll fly east instead of west. E has been talking about driving there but he is our only driver so it will take a week or more to drive there to allow him adequate rest time. We have a couple of trips in the works but as E is fond of reminding me all the good things in life cost money. And this trip cost him $1000 dollars to bring me. He figures I should know, so I will be suitably grateful. Wow I am in a cynical mood today, I hope I am not turning into a grumpy old la...

Perhaps I was a little hasty...

By
 Last night all I could think about was getting out of this town and going to someplace safe and quiet.  Funny enough when I went searching for safe and affordable Peterborough was actually on the list and yes the list was new as of June 2022. Kinda surprised to find that we are actually pretty safe here despite all the stuff going on. I was watching Tik Tok and this guy was jogging down a street in Vancouver, there were literally dozens of tents and homeless all along the street. Made me realize that we do have it pretty good here even with the rents doubling in the last six months. I would rather not leave Ontario but the cheapest rents are in Quebec and one of the eastern provinces, I can't remember which one off the top of my head. This is scary Maybe I'll find a way to curb the urge to run away for awhile.
