Beautiful Girl Jaime Is Herself

Beautiful Girl Jaime

by her Mom, Toni

Jaime would do anything to support her friends and family — or a wayward snake or hummingbird.

Jaime loves animals, including her French bulldog Nova, the snakes in the estuary beside our house, the chickens and horses on our family's farm, and every other creature she encounters.

Once, she spent all day reading about betta fish so she could give our family’s fish a high-quality life. She loves her stuffed dragons, too.

For fun, Jaime does kickboxing, piano, swimming, reading, drawing, forest bathing, cooking, gardening, and research into whatever her latest interest is.

She loves art supplies, cozy “jammies,” and playing music on her Alexa. She also does Wim Hof exercises with her mom, dipping in the Pacific Ocean or a lake in midwinter!

Do you notice which part of your lungs
you breathe with? Many people inhale shallowly, mostly using just the
top part of their lungs.

Wim Hof breathing engages the
diaphragm in order to fill the lower
lungs as well. This leads to
deeper breathing. Then your belly
sticks out when you inhale and flattens when you exhale.

When she isn’t busy with any of these things, playing with her dog, volunteering at the local book store, tending to the community garden, or helping out in her faith community, Jaime is reading.

Keeping her supplied with enough books isn’t easy, since she devours them so quickly.

Jaime made this crown with her Grandmother.
Her mom says, “It reminds me of her unwavering love for her family and her passion for art.”

Jaime is inspired by anime, and brings a reading tablet to school so she and her friends can all read the same manga together. Her friends often ask her for art lessons.

Most of all, Jaime is herself. Her style, her choices, her passions are all from inside herself. She doesn’t try to please others, she follows her “true north.”

According to her mom: “Jaime has the soul of an artist and a heart of gold. She has courage and integrity and isn’t afraid to use them. The world is a better place with her in it."
