One foot in front of the other keep chugging away keep moving on, sometimes that is all you can do. Live in the moment and move towards the future.

Hold the space for the people you care about – always be open and present to your friends. Stand beside them without judgement and give your support freely and unconditionally. I hope you all have someone in your life to hold the space for, and most likely they are holding the space for you too.
Consider this holiday to hold the space for our caprine friends at The Haven Zoo. There is still time to sponsor the herd, including super pals Bernie and Angela (below). Your small and generous donation will support the herd through providing necessary veterinarian check-ups, a healthy diet and comfy shed, PLUS, you will receive quarterly updates and a certificate of friendship.

I hope you are all having an amazing week and enjoy some holiday treats.

There are only ten more shopping days left until Christmas! But guess what? You actually don’t have to get it all done – the holidays will go on smoothly and wonderfully even if a few things get forgotten or left off your ever growing to do list. Be kind to yourself, patient and allow yourself to slow down and enjoy.

Once upon a time there was a famous general who shared her wisdom with a friend. She said “take your broken heart and make it into art.” From any heartache or setback, there is always hope that things will get better. Make amazing things and practice radical kindness and you never know you might just change the world.

Only thirteen more shopping days until Christmas! I say, if you celebrate Christmas, don’t worry about getting the shopping done. Focus more on how you are going to best spend the time off with people you care about.

Tomorrow, there is a big election. It is always important to participate in local politics, your vote could make the difference between prosperity or doom. Optimism is radical – don’t lose hope, but don’t sit by and let things happen without your say.

Sometimes you have to butt a few heads to build consensus.
Always keep your chin up and your eyes open. A positive attitude and a keen sense of observation will ensure that you never miss out on anything important.

Unfortunately, it is inevitable that sometimes people say or do unfortunate things. You have no control over the actions of others, but you do have control over your own actions and reactions. As challenging as it can be, always choose kindness and compassion.

Illegitimi non carborundum
Home is where your refuge is – where your people are – the ones who support you and nourish you even though they know everything about you.
