I am a 50-something Christian Panthiest Minister, artist, animal lover, lesbian, activist, Detroit Dog Examiner, animal rescuer, foster dog mom. I love nature, animals, and the earth.
I have been with my partner for 19 years. We live with 4 dogs (plus the odd foster dog), 6 birds (1 Lovebird and 5 Budgies) and 1 Betta. I am the Detroit Dogs Examiner (www.examiner.com/x-3020-Detroit-Dogs-Exami ner) for examiner.com and write blogs on several websites.
I am a minister in the Universal Life Church and provide pet blessings, pet funerals, and other pet-related celebrations for anyone who wants them. My website is www.allcreaturesulc.com. In addition, I am currently involved in starting a church where ALL CREATURES, human and otherwise, are welcome at all services.
As an artist, I do wood-burned signs, plaques, and pet portraits. I also work in colored pencil, pastels, and acrylics. I am also a crazy gardener and find spirit and inspiration for my art in the garden surrounded by nature.
In addition to creating art and gardens, I sell premium organic health food for pets, safe, challenging toys for pets, and professional pet portraits from my websites (superpetlife.com and cbarber-art.com). My art and crafts are available also at Craftique Craft and Antique Mall in Garden City, MI and at my Cafe Press Stores at http://www.cafepress.com/CBarber_Art and http://www.cafepress.com/allcreaturesulc.
The New Jersey Gardening/Farming Meetup Group is planning a Pot luck ~ Earthday Celebration on April 19th starting at 1pm at Basil Brook Organic Pharm. There will be entertainment, free table set up space for crafters, artists and other Meetup groups. There's also plenty of room for those who wish to campout for the night and a hiking trail runs through the back of the farm along the brook.
