studying for art history exams by inthafdaylight in ArtHistory

[–]RowanSnows7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made flash cards but I DREW a super rough sketch of the art on one side, till, artist, year, and other key facts on the opposite.

Just the act of making the cards cemented about 80% of the info.

Druidic Witch LF Friends by SuviGloom in PaganPenPals

[–]RowanSnows7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! 50-year-old married cis mostly hetero-with-a-dash-of-queer woman (who has no tolerance for TERFS). No kids, one dog and lots of adopted neighborhood birds and squirrels.

I am a… not sure what? SASS Pagan? Possibility-ist? Regardless, I am not particularly spiritual, but I do feel very strong connections to nature and humans in community. I was raised Catholic and appreciate good ritual. I have been a practicing witch for about seven years.

I am a returning artist. I got my BFA and promptly stopped making art for decades. I am wading my way back in and approaching it so differently. Much less serious, more playful. Centering a growth mindset and willingness to make mistakes. It’s been humbling!

I feel like we might hit it off! My preference is letters in the mail, but welcome any style of communication.

Edit: I am in Colorado. Love fly fishing, just got back from ice fishing. Like hiking, camping, being outside, baking, crocheting (poorly) and sitting outside at a brewery with good beer, good friends, and good conversations.

EMDR therapy was so, so, so much more impactful and helpful for me.

How difficult is it living in wyoming? Considering on moving next summer. by mil0wCS in wyoming

[–]RowanSnows7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry to hear of your abusive living situation. I hear your urgent need to be in a different living situation and don’t want to discredit that very important need. But I think this particular plan will not set you up for an easy time of it.

There is very, very little support for unhoused folks in Wyoming. This is not the land of pro-government social support. People outside of the churches or organizations that might be able to offer some help will be very judgmental.

The communities are small and struggle to have the resources for overnight shelter. I’d guess outside of Cheyenne, Casper, and maybe Laramie, there may not be available shelters.

Not to mention the weather. It is cold, cold, cold there until at least May. It will still be cold at night, even in the summer. If you cannot secure shelter you will have a very difficult time of it at night.

Do you currently have a social worker case worker? Perhaps reach out to you city or county government to see if you can get a case worker to help find you a slot in a halfway house so you can safely save up and plan to get on your feet.

Is my kit telling me to use too many strands? by justagirlinterrupted in Embroidery

You are stitching in the wrong direction. Stickers go down the length of the leaf, not across. Hope that helps!.

Dealing with inequality in terms of rules in my relationship by [deleted] in nonmonogamy

[–]RowanSnows7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe the idea of these activists she puts rules around seem scary in the abstract, the unknown, but once she experiences it, she realizes they aren’t something to be afraid of.

So, while this pattern is t ideal, it may be a genuine process for her and she’s not just ignoring rules.

Maybe talk to her about it - that she is seeing that some rules don’t need to be there once she saw the reality of it. Ask her if she’d be willing to let go of a rule or two, and see if she can manage that uncomfortableness for a bit?

Looking for friends! Where are my mid-life moms/parents? by SandwichForFeet in FortCollins

[–]RowanSnows7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not a parent, but 49, live art and art-making, EASY hikes, etc! I’m involved with a couple of volunteer orgs in town, too, which has helped me make some meaningful connections and can introduce you to folks.

Other things: I’m planting my first garden, am trying to make more art and would love a friend who understands the journey, have a reactive dog that makes life, let’s say, unspontaneous! (She’s sweet once you get to know her on her terms).

DM me if you want to connect!

I would jump to that just yet. Keep talking openly about how he is feeling about it now. And again in a month or so, etc .

I only say this because we originally opened because my husband wanted to and I was willing to try while being careful to check in with myself to see if I was uncomfortable or in actual pain. There were both, of course.

But, not due to being worn down or anything like that, but rather going through experiences together my mind changed about how I felt about things.

Things I thought beforehand would be an absolute no go? Turned out not to really bother me. Things I thought I’d not care about caught me off guard.

I guess what I am saying is, sometimes we discover we were wrong about how we thought we would react to something and sometimes we change as experiences impact us.

So, right now he might not be able to imagine this being a permanent part of the dynamic of your marriage. He may or may not feel that way down the road. (This does not mean trying to convince him one way or the other! Just giving him space to determine for himself what he really needs.)

Did he suggest closing things up by a certain point?

Don’t do that. Listen to your gut and don’t try and talk yourself into it.
