There are those people in your live who have the uncanny knack to always pick up right where you left off as though the time you spent apart never happened. I miss a lot of my friends, especially my best friend of over twenty years. Luckily, when I meet up with her, it’s like no time at all has passed. She’s an amazing, brilliant lady. I hope she has a fantastic birthday.
Friends forever through all of life’s ups and downs
If you are confused about how to answer this week, try just saying yes and see what happens. You never know, it might end up being an amazing experience!
Just say yes this week, it might be amazing!
Two years ago, I was spending some time on the internet (to be honest, as I do everyday). I came across the most magnificent collection of portraits photographs by Kevin Horan, published in the Guardian. This was before the Goat of the Day blog, perhaps even before I thought about specializing in goat photography and understanding the connection between positive vibes and goats. I was totally inspired, and many people have shared these photographs with me since. One of the best parts about starting Goat of the Day is that people share the goats they come across in their lives or on the internet with me. So, today’s goat of the day comes courtesy of Kevin Horan and the Guardian. I hope that you all find inspiration somewhere this weekend.
Meet Lily, the goat of the day. Maybe one day, I will be so lucky as to take goat portraits in such a setting.
As humans, across the world, there is more that we share in common than what we perceive as difference.
Next time you think negatively about someone, remember, deep down they are made of the same stuff as you.
Today is the longest day of the entire year, if you live in the northern hemisphere. Because the planet Earth (the one we live on) rotates around the sun on a tilted axis, certain parts of the planet get more or less sun depending on the time of year. Basically, billions of years ago, when our solar system was being formed, tons of bits of mass collided together to form mini planets, which then collided together to form proto-planets, which eventually became most of what our planet is now. Then, another pro-planet collided with the prelude to Earth and put us on our lovely little tilt which is reasonable for the seasons. Amazing! And the seasons are a big part of why life was able to flourish on our planet. Incredible how things tend to all fall into place like that!
Completely fantastic how millions of collisions resulted in a planet with goats. Amazing.
It is Friday after a busy week, so here is a blurry four day old baby Nigerian Dwarf goat to get your weekend started.
I hope that your weekend is full of many wonderful shenanigans!
Do you ever feel like you are an impostor? Somehow careening along, worried that someone might figure out that you don’t belong, or that your accomplishments are not your own? Imposter syndrome can be really difficult and a cause of stress, depression and other bad things. Take solace in the fact that even if you feel like you aren’t, you are worthy, you do belong, and your accomplishments are well deserved because you are amazing.
Everyone feels like an imposter at some point – just remind yourself that you deserve your success
Have faith in the universe, good things are on their way.
Trust yourself, trust that things are going to work out.
It is frustrating sometimes when you are looking for something and your comrade does not take it very seriously. Sometimes, when my comrades are looking for things, I like to cheekily say, “it’s always in the last place you look!” Although this is a silly and unhelpful thing to say, it is also true.
Whatever you are looking for is actually in the last place you look!
Find someone in this world who you can rest your head on. At the end of the day, a good partner is someone who supports you no matter what, even if you need to take a nap using them as your pillow for a bit.
A good friend will always have a place for you.
