More Lessons From Lola
By
kjackson
I’m finding one can learn a lot from a little Lola pig: Follow your gut when dealing with new acquaintances. A few days ago my mom and dad came down to the pen to meet their grand-pig. I put Lola’s harness on her and opened the pen door. Dad was standing next to the door…
Happy Birthday to Me!
By
kjackson
Tomorrow is my birthday! I have a lovely day planned. I’ve cleared my calendar of all responsibilities, I’ve rented three movies, and I’m stocked up on junk food. I’ve told the kids I’d really like candy for this year’s gift, thank you….and maybe they could clean their rooms, too? They are equipped with a cake…
Lessons from Lola: Just Say It!
By
kjackson
Last night’s walking-Lola routine was similar to the other nights. When I put the harness on her, she screamed-squealed so loudly and convincingly that I thought I had hurt her. As soon as the harness was in place, though, she was quiet and happy. She had a little kick in her step as she pranced…
Lessons from Lola: Let It Go
By
kjackson
Classes with Lola the Pig have begun. I’m sure I will continue to learn more and more lessons from her, but this first one is note worthy (blog worthy?). Lola communicates….freely. When she sees me from her pen she begins a happy grunting serenade. If I stop to feed the chickens and rabbits before coming…
The Path Before You….
By
kjackson
My natural inclination is to plan. I like to decide what is next, next and next. Many times this comes in handy. For instance, this summer when my family accompanied me to my performance locations, before we left I would do an internet search and find the museums and parks. When the family dropped me…

Lovely Lady Lola….the pig
By
kjackson
Meet Lola the Pig. And you might as well say “hi” to the happy lady holding her. It’s pretty obvious that lady is in her “Happy Place”. Lola’s story starts a long time ago when that lady was just a little girl. When I was a little girl my favorite place on earth–the spot that…
The 4th-of-July Pup
By
kjackson
Anya and I stood at the Feed Store counter looking closely at the flier. The puppy in the photo was an adorable glossy-haired pedigree pup with loving eyes and jaunty grin. “Remember this picture, Anya. She lived near our home and so maybe we’ll see her.” The little dog, Mollie, had ran out of her…

A “Little” Adventure: Vacation One-Day-at-a-Time
By
kjackson
In the minivan with my family–traveling toward a new place to explore– is one of my favorite HAPPY PLACES. Vacations, however, can be expensive and exhausting and sometimes it’s impossible to get away from work and responsibilities for an entire week. Oftentimes vacations can be more trouble than they are worth. Knowing this to be…
