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...

i am reaching out a hand to hold yours and will be here reading your journey with you. i turned 59 in november and am fighting health issues myself – nothing like yours, but still, no fun, no energy, i need to move more, yada, yada, yada. i am hoping to be better by this november – the big 6.0. (THAT’S hard to type! LOL!)
thank you for posting this. i am impressed and proud to know you.
I too am reaching out to take your hand. I have injured my knee and desperately must lose the weight. I know I can do it because I have done it in the past. I admire what you have done so far. I will be follow along with your journey and, in fact, joining you on it – hobbling along beside you on my painful knee and walking more firmly as the pounds come off. Thanks for your bravery and your wonderful-ness!!! Love to you…. Karen in VA Beach, VA
You are doing great, and wish you well on your new transformational journey!
I feel very bless when I read your post.
You are such a vibrant, and positive soul.
Continue with your great work xox
You can do this! We are all cheering you on. With your determination, and your positive outlook, you will make it.
And you’re right. It’s time to love yourself, and that is not selfish. You have to replenish yourself to be able to keep giving and sharing the way you do. <3
Maitri my friend,
I’m glad to learn that you’re having such a good start on the new year – in spite of illness (and maybe thanks to the illness).
I haven’t been here in a while, my computer is dying (but I can’t afford a new one), and life is pretty rough for the moment.
Just wanted to give you a hug and plenty of good wishes for the new year.
Margaretha
So many of us forget to take care of ourselves…sometimes I think we think we are invincible. Wishing you the best and I know you will succeed! Happy New Year!
