Today, was one of those days. My family and I had been spending some time in a holiday caravan near the Yorkshire Dales National Park and made our way back to our home after a lovely holiday. I had planned two stops on the way back, first to a trout farm, and second to a goat sanctuary to take new and exciting pictures of goats for my blog. I realize, that some of the goats you may have grown familiar with, as my visit to Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats last autumn produced quite a few unique photographs. However, I worry that my material has grown stale and that my followers and supporters are bored. I try to get new photographs whenever I have an opportunity.

Anyway, first, the trout farm was basically a pond where old men (I did not see any young people or women there) fish for trout and was not exciting and given that I was with my five year old, we were encouraged to leave.

Second, we found The Goat Sanctuary, somewhere between Manchester and Liverpool, but sadly it was not open to the public. I did manage to find some goats today, but will save them for tomorrow. As today has been a tad strange, I shall share with you my most favorite photograph from my library of goats. I met this goat in Delhi, India, and was struck by the self-assured glint in its eye, as though it holds some secrets of the universe or special knowledge. I think that even if Google sends this goat astray on its journey, it will continue to smile and saunter along as if that was always their plan. At any rate, today was a lovely spring day and a wonderful opportunity to meander across England.

This is my most favorite goat.

It is really easy to get comfortable, isn’t it? We settle into our routines, our day to days, our safe spaces and get into a rhythm. Although there are lots of benefits to sticking to plans and habits, it’s hard to grow, improve and transform once we are set for awhile. The solution? Get uncomfortable, get out of your comfort zone and step out and take a chance! Do something different, do something that might even scare you a bit, but whatever it is, every now and then step our of your safety zone and experience something new. It might just lead to something amazing.

Get out there and change things up – you are more courageous than you know!

I have always been a fan of Thursdays. It is the day day before Friday, and the work week is officially almost done. Thursday was named for the Norse god Thor, and at some point in the distant past it was known as Thor’s Day. Thor was known for wielding a giant hammer and riding a chariot that was drawn by two goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. These goats were pretty badass, and pulled Thor’s thunder chariot on his many adventures and epics. You may not have met many goats that you would associate with heroic behavior, but I think inside even the most adorable caprine lies the spirit of a badass goat pulling a thunder chariot triumphantly towards the weekend!

Never underestimate a goat – or yourself!

The world is your runway. Take action, take a step forward, and do so with intention and purpose. The less you worry about what other people think, the less self conscious you will be, and the more wonderful your life will be.

You do you.

Sometimes it might feel difficult to get through life’s inevitable obstacles. You may not think you are where you need to be, or worry that you have fallen behind on achieving certain milestones and goals. Fear not and be resilient. You’re not as far behind as you might think.

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.

Do you ever have one of those days where your look just comes together? Sometimes, when your look is super on point it exudes a certain confidence and self-assuredness to the world – it can be an awesome feeling! Of course, having a good hair day is great and the perfect Outfit Of The Day can gather many approvals on Instagram, but it’s all the stuff on the inside that brings it together and lets it shine! Today’s goat of the day is Elvis, from The Haven Zoo, a confident fellow whose look is always on point. Is it because of his awesome horns or carefully coordinated white and black coat? Or, is it because Elvis knows he’s awesome? Don’t forget to check out how to support The Haven!

Fitting in is over-rated. The things that make you weird are the same things that make you wonderful. Thanks to my partner, Adam Green, for the fantastic photograph of a sassy goat amongst some sheep in Haryana, India.

When you find yourself wracked with worry, sometimes the best thing to do is ask yourself if the source of your worry is something you have control over. Did you do everything you could to prepare for it? Is the situation out of your hands? It is no use wasting your energy over issues that are out of your control; rather, direct your focus to things in your life that you do have control over. The polar vortex won’t last forever, and whatever worry vortex you have today will fade by tomorrow.

Sometimes it is better to save your energy than fight against things out of your control.
