In this installment of the Little Me's, we learn how trauma can actually save the day when we're in tough spots. Have those red flags (what I like to call a "Spidey-Sense" 😆) ever alerted you to danger? ⁠ ⁠ Shouts out to @juliebrownpsyd for writing another great comic, and for pointing out that our Traumatized Me's can sometimes protect and guide us.⁠ While drawing this, I felt for the protagonist—I've been in a lot of situations like these, and I'm glad I've developed a suspicious part of me that now keeps me safe.⁠ ⁠

Dr. Julie Brown and I proudly present...The Little Me's! Back in July, Dr. Julie approached me with a great idea—she wanted to illustrate the different parts of a person and how they contribute to trauma recovery. Since Julie is my very dear friend and a brilliant therapist, I jumped at the chance to bring her words to life with my art! We hope that the Little Me's explain heady psychological concepts in a colorful, welcoming way that provides understanding and comfort. Stay tuned for more Little Me's in the coming months! ☺️⁠

I do my best to support small UK based businesses for my work and home needs... but sometimes the only place I can find what I need it's still Amazon. Last year I raised about £10 for WWF using Amazon Smile for a small selection of business needs. This year I will be supporting Sea Shepherd. 🖤 For those of you who haven't used Amazon smile before, it's a very easy swap. You can choose a charity close to your heart and Amazon will automatically donate 0.5% to your chosen charity with eligible purchases. Its not a lot, but if every person using Amazon made the small swap to smile.amazon.co.uk instead of the regular site, think how much it could add up to. 🌏 You can even have a separate log in for home use and business use. For example I donate to Altzeimers research using my personal Amazon account. 🖤 . . . #seashepherduk #amazonsmile #mysmallbusiness #domoregood #seashepherd #conservationcharity #charity #smallthings #smallbizz #ethicalshopping #orangefruitcakeart #orangefruitcake #sustainableart #veganartist #myveganbizz https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Wkf0sFqXG/?igshid=zb4by4yl6cc

I just signed up for the next basic training class for @fairfaxcountycert I have wanted to do this for a while and I am very excited for the opportunity to learn how to help in crisis situations. What inspired me to do this? Remember I said I was going to kick some serious ass in 2019? This is part of that vow.

The @snapyourself photo booth at Charity Ball was way too much fun! Oh, and if you ever run out of food at an event, just send someone to pick up as many @jackinthebox hamburgers as possible 🍔 . . . #hamburgerstotherescue #domoregood #portland #pdx #photobooth #partyforapurpose (at Montgomery Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-s8_7hxqH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vojo8b31pest

Another Charity Ball in the books! 🥂 This year tested us more than most, but we pulled together and pulled it off. These ladies are strong, passionate, ambitious, companionate and generous and I am lucky to call them my friends. Yesterday we had our traditional post Charity Ball brunch (which turned into a 9 hour affair) where there was drinking, reminiscing, problem solving, planning, laughing and crying. In Levè we lift each other up, we hold each other accountable, and we hug each other when there are tears (and let me tell you, there were tears). I’m looking forward to this next year with these amazing women and a lifetime with these incredible friends 💕 . . . #domoregood #levelifts #portland #nonprofit #pdx #friends #givingback #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment (at Night Light Lounge) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8GtLZhFxr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12287cdocelae
