Because\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0spinning. And so was I!<\/p>\n<p>I had so many great intentions way back in April. I was going to do one more blog post before leaving to travel for a few months. I was going to finish a donation piece and a few other things on my plate. Absolutely none of that happened. Between all that I wanted to do and all that I <em>had<\/em> to do, I was spinning!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a little more grounded now. I&#8217;ve been on holiday, spent time with friends but the best part was a side trip with my daughter. Living as far apart as we do, it is always so much fun just to be together!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m back in the studio today. I&#8217;m rested and inspired by all that I have seen in the places I have been. Hopefully it will translate into some new fun creation!<\/p>\n<p>As for the cat, haven&#8217;t seen her since I got back. She must be hiding in some cool shade, if there is any to be found here in the Saudi summer sun!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amiestarchuk.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_0586.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-179\" src=\"https:\/\/amiestarchuk.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_0586-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0586\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amiestarchuk.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_0586-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/amiestarchuk.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_0586-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One day way back in April I was out walking my dog.
