You Are Loved

Here's a very important thing to remember on Valentine's Day.



Remember that You Are Loved.

It's also important to remember on every other day of the year.





And especially when you are feeling lonely.




If you need someone to love you, there are always at least three people who care about you.

One is Jesus. He loves you and thinks you're amazing.

And then there’s me: I love you.

And, it goes without saying, the penguins on this site adore you.

And before you say “Naw aw,“ there are three of us (four if you include the baby penguin) and only one of you, so there. :-p

Isn't it nice to be loved by a penguin?





Always remember that You Are Loved.

Learning to Glow

As we grow, we begin to glow. Glowing is part of life -- at least any life that's worth living.

As we grow, we begin to glow.

If you haven't learned to glow yet, it's okay.

It takes time.

It takes breathing sunshine and exhaling fresh, pure air.


Let your spirit grow, and you will begin to glow.

Breathe what gives you life.

I still believe in Fairy Tales


When things get tough, remember that your life is a fairy tale.

Fairy tales and sweet dreams and impossible miracles. Life can be sweet, if you look at it in the right perspective.



There are adventures to seek, monsters to slay, treasure to be found. Put on your crown and let's go.




Every little girl longs to be a princess. But without a mother to nurture her and teach her to be a lady, she ends up in the middle of the battle, her pretty skirts stained with mud and her flower crown trampled, and she forgets. Remind her that fairy tales exist.


Every fairy tale has adventures — journeys and quests and swashbuckling and wild seas and monsters to slay.

It has magical (miraculous) powers given to small and humble orphans, for them to discover that they are princes and princesses — children of The King — to grow up to defeat powerful enemies.

And every fairy tale must have a villain (or thirty-seven thousand of them), but in the end, evil is vanquished, orphans are restored to their places as princes and princesses, and everyone lives happily ever after.

If your life is difficult right now, just remember that your fairy tale isn't over yet.

Hold out for Happily Ever After.


I'm here to assure you that it exists.

Umbrella Penguin

This penguin loves the umbrella I've given it.

It also loves walking in the rain.

Even at night.

And look, it's found a little green friend who loves the rain, too.


Here we have a penguin keeping the rain off with a bright yellow umbrella, holding a frog out so it can feel the rain. Frogs love rain, too. Rubber duckies, perhaps not so much.


Rubber duckies, however, might possibly prefer a bubble bath instead.



This penguin and its little friends are enjoying a walk on a dark, rainy night. Good thing they have a bright, yellow umbrella to light up the darkness. Because yellow is a symbol of hope. We all need a little of that.

Yellow Umbrella

Here is a bright yellow umbrella for warding off the darkness. It'll also keep the rain off. Vector design by iva learns to fly.

It's wet out there.

You might need one of these.

It's not just for keeping the rain off — it's a powerful weapon for warding off the darkness.

Walk down the dark, cold, rainy street holding up one of these sunny beacons of hope, and everyone around you will smile.

Unless they are grouchy because they are cold, dark, and rainy, and then you can give it to them!

I'm pretty sure that would make them smile.
