Created by my cousins in Michigan ❤️ Unified in our love for her, we, her sons and daughters, announce that Darlene Dawn Hahn broke free from her earthly bonds on Sunday, July 19, 2026, joining the love of her life, Charles Kenneth “Ken,” at the table of their heavenly Creator. Darlene was generous with her love, and her devotion to family and faith touched the lives of everyone who knew her. She was fearless in the face of any challenge, whether it involved defending her beliefs or loved ones, confronting difficulties with her health, or finding within herself the capacity to forgive. One of Mom’s proudest achievements grew from her own suffering and became a deeply meaningful personal ministry. She spent countless evenings creating and leading support groups for those living with panic and anxiety, with Dad faithfully at her side. Together, they often traveled well beyond their hometown each week. Her gentle kindness and ability to listen with understanding helped many people find fr...

Four dolphins. Four personalities. And somehow, they’ve each carved out a tiny corner of my heart. I’m currently tracking Bill , Viking , Melon , and Bernd —four sleek, curious adventurers I adopted through Fahlo . Every time their little location dots shift across the map, it feels like getting a postcard from the ocean. Bill tends to wander like he’s got secret errands to run. Viking moves with the confidence of a creature who knows he’s majestic. Melon is playful, zig‑zagging like she’s chasing joy itself. And Bernd… Bernd is my gentle giant, gliding slow and steady, reminding me that not everything in life needs to be rushed. It’s a small thing, tracking them. But it makes the world feel bigger, wilder, and more connected—like the ocean is sending updates straight to my phone. If you’ve been craving a small way to feel more connected to the wild, living world, consider welcoming a dolphin into your heart, too. Follow their journeys, learn their rhythms, and let their quiet courag...

  Letting go of perfection so creativity can do its real work One of the biggest misconceptions about using art is the idea that the art has to be good . Beautiful. Skilled. Worthy of hanging on a wall. Here’s why “pretty” doesn’t matter 🌱 Art Is a Process, Not a Product When we release the pressure to make something beautiful, we open the door to honesty. Messy lines, uneven shapes, torn edges — these are not mistakes. They’re expressions. They’re clues. They’re invitations. The value of art lies in the process : the moment your hand moves before your mind catches up the color you choose without knowing why the symbol that appears unexpectedly the collage piece that feels right even if it doesn’t “match” These moments reveal truths that polished artwork often hides. 🌼 Imperfection Makes Space for Authenticity When you believe it can be anything, then you start expressing . Imperfection: lowers the stakes quiets the inner critic invites curiosity encourages experimentation makes ...

We tried the neon tetras three times in the tank and had zero luck with them. But we do currently have 2 sole survivors that managed to stay alive so far.  June 10, 2026 Something in the fish tank is biting on the tetra's tail fins.
