Dear Ones, 💗
In the last four years I have become increasingly disabled. I can hardly walk, don't go outside, but can do my work. With the support of Patrons on Patreon, and since I now live only on social security, their help and support has been a godsend as I write my book on learning how to grow older with as much grace as we can muster, how to get through the hard times, the losses, the gains, resources and more.
You can be my Patron for as little as $5 a month and in return you get many gifts. A weekly 45 minute podcast, "Notes From Maitri," little blog posts for Patrons only. Downloadable free art, as well as books I love, showing my art process and the supplies I use and where you can get them, and so much more.
No matter how old we are we're all getting older. This is a book for everyone!
Maitri both writes and draws to make sense of her life. She lives with her emotional support dog, a "chigi" (chihuahua/corgi mix) Molly, and her parakeet Franny, at Dragonfly Cottage on the coast of North Carolina.
Maisie & I invite you to visit us at Society6. Over 30 different Maisie paintings on all manner of merchandise. Prints and wall art, mugs, tote bags, t-shirts, journals, stickers, and so much more. Have a look! It's so much fun to bring Maisie and her World into your life! 💖
You are not alone dear one. I have had this link on my site for over 20 years. I am putting it back on now. It is the most beautiful site. Millions of people around the world use it 24 hours a day. You can light a virtual flickering candle, say a prayer, put in a prayer request, anonymously, or leave your name or initials. When we pray in community it is a very powerful thing indeed. I am holding you in my heart and prayers. I light a candle here routinely and am deeply moved by the experience...

Just wanted to say what a beautiful post this is. So much truth and honesty. Hoping you feel simply decadent & the pugs are giving you lots of love.
Had never thought of the Ghost thing, but you are so very right. So easy to shy away when we aren’t what we feel we should be. Sending you lots of healing love in hopes that you soon will be shining brightly comfortable in front of the camera.
I wanted to say your post was so beautifully written and so heartfelt. I know it will bring comfort to many. I am a tea drinker and find the ritual of tea to be so soothing to me. I have the little nieces over and we have tea together and then do arts and crafts. It is peacful and great for my body and soul. I see you do Reiki, and I used to have this done for me when my hubby was ill and dying to help me rest and calm myself and it worked so well.
Wishing you all the best…
I am forcing myself not to be the ghost. My son and any children he may have won’t care that I am ______ (fill in my insecurity of the day) they’ll look at my picture and remember things we have done like I do when I look at the few pictures of the camera dodgers from my family.
Maitri,
I love your writings, I never guessed from your photo on here that you have had body issues, you look so beautiful and centred and powerful. Much love and admiration for your total honesty. I do so hope you start a dragonfly community
I love drinking tea too, I love the glass teapots and a flower bud so it can be seen as it gently opens 😀 and, of course, drinking perfumed tea.
I love massaging my feet, using a gorgeous moisturizer from The Body Shop, it feels so good
Much love
