White, wet, fresh, and cold. Melting water drips from trees. Paw prints through the snow. 🕉 Powder is healthy and strong enough to be enjoying the sudden winter weather! So grateful 💖🌸🎉 #haiku #poetry #dogsofinstagram #lhasaapso #winter #snow #inspiration #fresh #zen #morningwalk #recovery

Palo Santo lit, Filling the room with its scent, Watching the flame dance. 🕉 Spent a good chunk of my morning filling my home and my being with the amazing energies of Palo Santo, drumming, and singing mantras 💖 the vibration was strong, beautiful, and so healing. The animals gathered close to join in the circle. I'm excited because this is the first time I've drummed along with singing Sanskrit mantras and I'd like to start recording it! I've come up with some great drumming for the gayatri mantra, the ganesha mantra, and teyata mantra. What are you doing to make your body tingle with amazing vibes today? Let's celebrate taking purposeful and inspired action that serves our goals and direction 💕🕉🌸 #haiku #poetry #inspiration #drumming #music #smudging #consciousness #growth #action #energy #zen #mantra #bodhran

Alone together In the middle of nowhere Just silence and love. 🕉 #haiku #poetry #forest #hiking #family #love #connection #zen #inspiration #autumn #ontario

Leaves scattered around; Red, yellow, orange, and brown. A sea of colour. 🕉 #haiku #poetry #inspiration #hiking #forest #color #breathe #zen #peace #lhasaapso

Puppy - trot, trot, trot. Leading the way through the trees. Sniffing every rock. 🌸🕉 #hiking #fall #autumn #ontario #mountnemo #haiku #poetry #inspiration #forest #breathe #zen

Fall, early winter. Wandering through the forest. Cool, crisp, clean... and free. #ontario #hiking #nature #autumn #haiku #inspired #loveandalliscoming

Things have been so much calmer around our home since Monday, I had the energy, inspiration, and peace of mind to get busy with a new craft... Loving my new fall/winter wreath! I normally go crazy with too many decorations but this year kept it very clean and classic. What do you think? As always, I'm accepting limited orders for custom, handmade wreaths! Do you and some friends want to learn to make your own seasonal or festive wreaths? We can plan a wreath party and make them together over some delicious plant-based, seasonally-inspired omnomnoms 😄😋 DM or email briana@brianaboldin.com for inquiries and orders #diy #wreath #autumn #fall #winter #decor #handmade #party #gift #love #expression

Yesterday was a long and very unsure day... but we've got some overall very good news to move forward with now! We have been able to rule out all of the scary, dangerous things like a brain tumor, cancer, and encephalitis (brain swelling). We did however find small amounts of brain bleeding. These brain bleeds may be a result of the seizures, they may be a cause of them, or they may be completely unrelated and just coincidence we found them in the MRI. We have some more testing to do to figure out what might be causing the seizures and/or brain bleeding. Hopefully this all happens this Friday! We'll be taking a closer look at kidney function, his cortisol levels, blood pressure, and possible hyper/hypo thyroid activity. The GOOD news: - Powder is now on anti seizure medication and is doing very, very well - the brain bleeds CAN heal with time - if we are able to determine a cause for the seizures and/or brain bleeding with the further testing, and we get it under control, Powder may not need anti seizure medication long term - we finally got some solid information to give me relief and the confidence to know what I'm doing as we move forward We still have quite the journey in front of us, but this is very positive news considering what the alternatives were, and is definitely more of an unusual case in the canine health world. No seizure this morning. We were able to sleep in and wake up peacefully. Thank you all for everything you have and continue to do for all of us. We felt and needed your love yesterday. Please celebrate this wonderful news with us ❤🌸🎉🎈 my heart is so full of gratitude for so many things right now. Life is beautiful and all of you bring so much joy and love and light to my world, Matt's world, and Powder's world. We love you all so much 💕💕💕 #love #light #dogs #gratefulness #celebrate #dogsofinstagram #lhasaapso #seizures #health

After a very long weekend of early morning seizures and lots of valium to bring him out of the seizures, Powder is now at the Guelph Vet College being seen by the neurology team. He'll be getting an MRI of his brain and possibly a spinal tap and chest radiography. He's happy and energetic. Hopefully we know more about what's going on soon. The daily early morning wake-ups to his seizures, and having to give the poor guy valium (rectally) three days in a row now... we're all pretty tired and worn out. Thank you all for your continued love and support. It honestly makes a world of difference for me and our family in these tough and uncertain times. Please keep Powder in your hearts, thoughts, and prayers today ❤💕 Xo #love #light #dogs #gratefulness #celebrate #dogsofinstagram #lhasaapso #seizures #health

~ From High to Low ~ This is probably my most vulnerable post ever shared on social media. For the last three months, I've had my world turned upside down by severe health issues in my best friend and fur baby, Powder. Yesterday was an amazing day in so many ways. And also so terrifying and horrific I've been left shaken to my core and very emotional. Powder had a seizure and went into cardiac arrest. These photos were taken yesterday. One around 4 pm. The other around 9 pm. So many energies and emotions in one day. From happy and beaming, enjoying a productive lunch reviewing our patent proposal together and an afternoon lakeside stroll with the man I love... to sitting in an emergency vet room, face puffy and swollen from crying, looking fab in my jammies with messy hair, and praying my dog was going to be okay. I've started a blog to share the experiences we go through together figuring out his seizures and still trying to help Powder live a happy, adventurous little life. The writing is both a healing and coping process, and a transparent offering of my greatest struggle right now in the hopes that it might help others facing similar circumstances. You can check it out via the link in my bio 🖱🔗👇 Thank you all for your continued love and support 💕 #toughtimes #dog #bestfriend #epilepsy #seizures #love #life #support #grief #heartbreak #lhasaapso

Sometimes the path gets overgrown and we start to wonder if we are still going the right way... In the forest and in life, trust your intuition; follow the path that feels right; walk in love and gratitude... and the path will unfold exactly as it is meant to 🙏🌳🌸 #love #peace #stillness #trust #journey #intuition #innerwisdom #mindfulness #gratefulness #adventure #forest

Unconditional love - for yourself! For some it can be a radically new concept. For others, it may be the rock on which you lean when life gets a little low. Celebrating some extra care, thoughtfulness, and love for self today - for me that means wrapping up work early, grabbing some tea, meditating, and then soaking in a bath that overwhelms my senses with warmth, comfort, and relaxing aromas. What will you do today to show yourself some extra special love? What does your inner self need? #yogilife #selflove #truth #wisdom #mindfulness #peace #breathe #bliss
