Healthy Sleep

Healthy Sleep

Getting a healthy sleep is so important for our overall well-being. This meditation is a gentle, guided path toward deep physical relaxation. As an addition to this meditation, I highly recommend a pair of Sleep Phones. I have used a sleep meditation and the sleep phones (linked above) for years. These sleep phones are great for any meditation as they are soft, don’t hurt when you lay on them and look like an eye mask. I love mine! I hope this meditation helps anyone having trouble falling asleep. Thank you to the students at Yoga Public for requesting this meditation.

Meditation is the gateway.

Consciousness is the path.

Awareness is the reality.

You are the architect of your life.

Sweet little (giant) Toven has been with us for al Sweet little (giant) Toven has been with us for almost one week. We love him so very much. It’s too bad his paws don’t fit him but I don’t judge. I like the elephantiasis look. 🐾🐾🐾

He’s extremely busy. I tried to capture all of his activities however there is just no space for that much content.

He’s so tied up all the time with his busy schedule that I was able to snap a few pics like the paparazzi, but as you can see, he is moving at a pace that I could only have ever dreamed to move at.
Slow down, Tovester Oven. Don’t hurt yourself buddy. ❤️🐶
Toven has made it clear he does not wish to be ins Toven has made it clear he does not wish to be inside the house when there is CLEARLY an outside that doesn’t go away. Like never. It’s always there. Why the f would he sleep on a carpet when there is oregano to sleep in.
I started building him a little outdoor condo yesterday. Shade. A snowy respite. Place for the kid to paint on the walls. A grow into me house.
I will post another photo when he is full grown and we’ll see if the grow into me house worked out. Could be more of a find your own adventure house where “reverse” becomes a critical skill for the Tovster Oven. ❤️🐶 Back er on up little guy! 🥰
I’ve been working on a big project and I have to I’ve been working on a big project and I have to say, I am so grateful for all of the people who have helped me and are encouraging me in this project.🙏
I ran into a problem when I imagine something that I didn’t know whether it existed or not. Somehow, I thought it must exist, but I didn’t know how to do it, or learn it, or figure out what kind of machinery I needed, or how to even get it onto a computer.
I then told my vision to my trusted colleague, ChatGPT. My colleague wrote me a training plan with multiple modules on how to learn various forms of new software. The software I needed to make my idea become a real thing needed a Super computer. A mega computer. A mega machine built specifically to make this idea a real fucking thing.
I explained my idea to my brother and because he had some spare time on his hands, he built me a super computer by hand, and installed a huge amount of processing power, multiple fans, cool colors, and a whole bunch of stuff that I don’t understand. He named it the AI powerhouse and set up the mega workstation. Please see pictures of my with the AI powerhouse in action.
He told me it was like advanced Lego. I mean, I want to validate that, but I’ve done a lot of Lego and especially recently I’ve been doing Lego and there’s no possibility on earth I could figure out how to build a computer or even a Lego computer. I could not even build a pretend computer out of giant block sized Lego let alone build a real computer and feel like it’s Lego.

The biggest thanks to my bro for making me the dope’s computer I’ve ever seen 🤖  @swizzulaunt
I am just a few steps away from finishing this bea I am just a few steps away from finishing this beautiful table. I don’t think I’ve ever done the table that was so complex and I had to be so careful. It was wonderful and the marbling goes 360° around the table with a splash across the top. I am not sure what kind of wood it is, but it is very solid. I’m guessing Oak based on my lower back pain from bringing it up and down the stairs. 😝 
It’s 27“ x 27“ and a height of 23 inches. The table includes new sealant that is weather resistant, a darker shaded stain to add depth to the table and two weeks worth of layering of epoxy resin.
Please let me know if you are interested if not, thank you for reading !! 🖤🤍
Apologies for the grammatical error in my video. That’s so not me. #practiceimperfection

Talking to Beethovens mama before I go pick him up Talking to Beethovens mama before I go pick him up. Promised to give him a safe & loving life. His parents are tiny peanut size. Minis. Barely visible. Also watched my bro nearly go into cardiac arrest. They are shockingly…huge. He’s fine now 😆 
Toven’s first day and things I’ve learned about him.
First, he’s hungry. He’s really hungry. If there is food out, that food gets eaten. Don’t just leave food out. Bye bye food.
He’s gentle and super smart. He slept all night like a perfect little gaffer and woke up at 5am with an overwhelming amount of energy. Given his leg to body size, he pranced around the yard wiping out every third or fourth prance because his monster legs just didn’t make it. This was not bothersome to Toven at all. He found my dead plant. Loved it until the planter moved and made a big noise. That was scary.
I showed him the back door and gave him treats last night for going to the bathroom outside. He has gone to the door every time since then. Every time. It’s incredible. He held it for so long in the car - no accidents. I told him not to go under the fence. He now stops and remembers to come back when I go “pst”. That’s it. Pst. Dog comes back.
Toven went to the trailer first to kick back at the campground. He had a nice nap there.
Then we went back to the city where he slept on the floor the entire time. One speed bump woke him up. He moved. Then back to sleep.
He played and then went in his house and fell asleep. He ate. Slept. Woke up at 5am. Went bananas outside for 1 hour. Discovered Mila’s garden and 6inch fence. Got stuck behind it…took a nap.
Mastered the fence. Got off the deck. Can’t get on because back legs weigh 400lbs in comparison to body. Needs help (that’s me). Ran kind of like a cow might run. Like a gallop. Cutest run. It’s like watching a small dinosaur leap. He loves to lay between my legs. And have a nap.
Came inside after 1 hour and ate. No maybes. He knows where that food is. So smart.
So then he had a nap in his house. Then on the floor. Then half under the couch. Darn - he doesn’t quite fit.
He definitely grew over night.  Definitely.
Toven ❤️ Day 1 so successful. He’s napping now. This IG post was so tiring for him.

A beautiful friend of mine asked if I could make a A beautiful friend of mine asked if I could make a set for her. Coasters with a matching jar. Here is how it turned out. 🌼 I always find that my custom orders turn out the best because I feel the sense of love for the other person as I am creating a piece for them. I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to create.
I will be at three markets this summer with all of the things that I have created, including coasters, jars, tables, and all sorts of fun things.
Please let me know if you’d like to order a custom set like this of anything that I make. It always brings joy to my heart to create something specific for someone just like I did here for this beautiful person that I feel so much love for. ❤️

Sidebar: lesser known information about Nadia - the composer and pianist who wrote the song in this video, @ludovico_einaudi  is my favourite musician of all time. This music has gotten me through hard moments, happy moments, peaceful moments and hopeful moments. This song was my alarm clock for all of my 30s while I battled and faced so much struggle. Now I listen to it and see a beautiful creation and even the music seems to have evolved in my heart.

This art is not coming with me to the markets this This art is not coming with me to the markets this summer. My first summer market is June 8 at the Breezy Oak Tavern in Beausejour.
Everything that you see in the video is staying here at the Winnipeg headquarters. It’s ready and it’s on its way out. Please let me know if you are interested in anything and custom orders are accepted. For the most part. So far anyway all custom orders have been reasonable and nobody has ordered a real elephant or an epoxy floor.

Send me a message if you’re interested! All of these pieces are priced to sell. 👍

Jars with lids are $40. Each is one of a kind. All moms need jars. We have things. All sorts of loose things. Random things. Like half an earring, an Oompa Loompa and two pieces of Lego. Maybe it’s just me.

Thanks! 😊
