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...

Thank you for your support! Your donation, in any amount, helps me continue my work and is deeply appreciated. Simply click on the hearts above to go to Paypal. Love & Blessings... Maitri
