INNER MONSTERS
Inner Monsters don't necessarily look like "real" monsters. They are part of that constant chatter going on in the background of our own minds, shaping our view of the world. They can appear in a variety of forms, from human, animal, monster-like, even as plants! Most of us... ahem... keep our inner beasties tucked "safely" in the closet, hoping they won't decide to reveal themselves at inopportune times, causing all manner of embarrassing moments, like sudden extreme shyness, unexplained crying jags, overwhelming crankiness, or laughing out loud for no apparent reason, among others. Sound familiar?
The solution is (drum roll please...) to MEET your inner monsters, SEEK to understand them, EMBRACE them as yours, and then LEARN about yourself through them. Bring them out of your personal inner-verse and set them free!

How Crochet Helped Me Through Anxiety

More Than Just Yarn and a Hook "Crochet is a magical piece of peaceful bliss." It may sound like a simple statement, but for me, crochet became so much more than a hobby. It became a way to quiet my mind during some of the most difficult years of my life. It helped me through anxiety, grief, and trauma. It gave me something to focus on when fear seemed to take over everything else. And eventually, it became part of the foundation of Duffney's Bird Barn. My crochet journey began in 2015 […]
