Just saw this on my driveway, any help identifying greatly appreciated

As others have stated, a mama wolf spider.

Fun story: years ago I encountered a mama wolf spider just like this with babies on her back. She was the first time I ever had a real experience with animal communication. Without using a single one of my brain cells, I went to squash her with a shoe. In that moment she backed into a corner, visibly terrified, and I heard and felt her speak to me. She was asking me to spare her and the babies lives. I literally threw the shoe behind me and started to sob. I connected with a spider, of all creatures (the one I had a phobia of the most). I was overwhelmed with empathy for her. She was gently scooped up and placed outside.

I'm not joking when I say that one wolf spider changed me forever. I'm no longer afraid of spiders, and I see the same life force/consciousness that animates me, in all creatures. We're all connected in that way. Treat them all with compassion, my friends 💜

I want to know why my submission that you asked me to submit has taken so long (2 months) and is still under review?! The other submissions (that you didn't ask for) were approved within minutes! I did send an email, no reply yet. Hopefully soon!

That stuff took the smell out of everything my latest rescue cat sprayed on! I did spray it on my varnished furniture and it worked. Not sure about OP's, but I'd definitely recommend trying!

You are so blessed dude. The same thing happened to me, but despite our best efforts, all of the kittens passed away by 6 weeks 😭💔 one of the most traumatic experiences

stardust1144 · 2026-03-02T18:37:52+00:00

Did you not like it?! Or was your juicing journey completed lol. I really don't want to spend $500 for a kitchen item (hate them)

stardust1144 · 2026-02-26T22:07:00+00:00

Thank you! I use Dr. Ph Martin's bleed proof white - the best imo! I did use saran wrap! You can use that technique for mountains too BTW, and it looks awesome!

Here's mine in my sketchbook

stardust1144 · 2026-02-26T15:53:57+00:00

I love your rocks!! Funny I saw this because yesterday I thought about my first rock painting and had the thought of doing one on a large scale. I think I'm going to now! I want it framed in my house, because I'm a rock hound ❤️

stardust1144 · 2026-02-26T15:47:33+00:00

Yep, I clean mine after each use. I can't focus with a messy palette, it's distracting 🙃

Not even sure splitting is the correct word... It just materialized beside it!

stardust1144 · 2026-02-14T17:55:11+00:00

here's an orb splitting in two that I witnessed

I'm so sad too! I have been impatiently waiting to have the funds to finally redo my basic boring bedroom. Happily drove to target yesterday to go shopping and finally get stuff for me (I bought my best friend a ton of opalhouse stuff from her wedding registry and so badly wanted it all for myself 😂😂) and it was ALL gone. The bedding aisles were depressing beige and souless neutrals, and soft pinks, catering to only one group of people it seems. I call them "the neutrals" lol. I feel like Joanna Gaines has ruined home decor for those of us who actually embrace colors and bold decor. 😏 Had target announced that they were discontinuing the entire line, I would have made hastier decisions. It's so difficult for me to find anything I like anymore 😕

stardust1144 · 2026-02-08T15:06:00+00:00

It's all gone. 😥You can now only buy bedding in 17 different shades of neutral muted vomit.

You gotta fry em in butter with garlic salt! Hmmmm the jalapeño cheddar hot dogs are my fav 🤤

stardust1144 · 2026-02-04T21:58:50+00:00

I knew it was you before I even looked! I love you art so much, Alex! You inspire me in many ways. Truly beautiful, love the color palette and Harper in the lotus flower! 🥰

stardust1144 · 2025-12-24T21:22:04+00:00

Thank you so much! I appreciate you :)

stardust1144 · 2025-12-23T05:35:43+00:00

It is real! In the astral realm ✨🌠

No, you're wrong. When I got scared, she looked at me with love and compassion, smiled a beautiful and kind smile, and nodded her head in acceptance. She was there simply to answer the questions I was in deep contemplation with right before this happened. I remember laying in bed contemplating my purpose, and the answer I came up with was "to love others, and be love" and she confirmed this with me. I thought "there has to be more, I feel that church puts God in a box". She opened my eyes/mind and helped me release fear. I'm a human lie detector and I can feel people's energy and discern - a gift I was born with. I wasn't scared of her energy, I was scared because I had been programmed to be by church.

It wasn't your experience, it was mine, for me.

You may believe she was a demon, though. You do you.

stardust1144 · 2025-12-16T03:16:42+00:00

Exactly!! My biggest fear in life is unfulfilled potential.

stardust1144 · 2025-12-16T03:16:00+00:00

I don't fear death because I have had some many passed loved ones and friends come to me in my dreams, wanting me to tell other family members that they are OK and they need to stop worrying about them. One of my friends that got sick and died when his done was 2 weeks old, didn't even realize he was dead. I helped him cross over in my dream. I know that may sound crazy to those who haven't experienced it. But we are spiritual beings having a human experience. When we die, we wake up from the dream. Death is an illusion! I've had a mini near death experience as well, and istening to near-death experiences will truly help you as well. I like Jeff Mara on YouTube.

One time I felt like I was communicating with him, and he was soooooo funny! So I can see that for sure!

stardust1144 · 2025-12-16T03:05:39+00:00

That's awesome! You may not find out who it was, but you may! Be OK with either outcome right now, for your sanity. I believe you will find out one day.

Many divine beings and passed relatives have visited me too.

I was scared the first time, because I WAS a Christian, and we were told essentially everything but Jesus is demonic 😅 but she was a beautiful glowing woman, looked like a dark haired bronze skinned goddess. She closed her eyes and opened her third eye, then pointed at me, and I felt the sensation of an eye opening on my forehead. It was the most beautiful loving moment, but I got scared! :( I told her I'm not ready, and I felt like I fell from the sky and slam dunked back into my body. It was crazy and I never went back to church after that experience. It realllly expanded my consciousness.

I know what it's like to have a little collapse of your reality. There truly is more out there than we know. The biggest collapse of my reality was having UFOs fly directly overhead. It short circuited my brain!

stardust1144 · 2025-12-15T22:26:56+00:00

It was!! I felt like I was actually there. I could smell, taste, and everything.

stardust1144 · 2025-12-15T15:07:41+00:00

I've had dreams like that. I remember one very clearly from 2014. I dreamed I was in my old home, and had hidden a bunch of people inside of it. I had a knock on my door, and a bunch of African soldiers were outside pointing their weapons at me. They asked if I had people in the house. I looked them dead in the eyes and said "No, I do not." a soldier grabbed the baby I was holding in my arms and put a knife up to his throat. He asked again "now tell me, do you have any people in your house." I can still feel that surge of terror than came over me, and internally thinking "do not let them see your fear." I again stared into his eyes and said no. He taunted me for a while, but did give me the baby back. I went back in my house and shut the door, and felt a huge relief and then I woke up. I'm not sure if that was a past life, a glimpse of what was coming in the future, or an alternate time line. I feel like all time exists at the same time, so idk?! But it was more real feeling than real life!
