The best way to put your best face forward is to love yourself inside and out. Start your day with some positive affirmations and let your heart shine. Accepting and loving yourself will inspire others to do the same.
Practice self celebration – you are absolutely worth it
Are you on a quest to find your best angle? Don’t worry, you are amazing from any perspective, filtered or unfiltered.
A picture is always worth at least a thousand words
Break up your big goals and dreams into smaller bits. This way, your tasks will feel more manageable and you will have extra opportunities to celebrate success!

Imagine if all the time we spent worrying about what we looked like or what others thought about us was spent thinking about how to make the world better or to solve some of the challenges we face. So many possibilities. I like to look good as much as anyone but sometimes your energy is better focused on bigger things. Plus most likely all that worry is for nothing and you look lovely already.
You are amazing and wonderful inside and out
Some days it might seem that all of your plans go awry. Save your energy and avoid the temptation to get upset and accept that some things are just out of your control. Enjoy the chaos and start over tomorrow.
When the waves get choppy hold on an enjoy the ride
Rest up and get ready for the week ahead – maybe it will be the best week of the whole year so far!
Prepare yourself for something wonderful
Do something this weekend that sings to your soul. Spend time with people who make you feel free and eat some good food. Whatever you do have a wonderful couple of days.
Take full advantage of your days off
Find inspiration in movement. A quick walk or letting the blood flow may spark your creativity and be the start of something fantastic.
Get going and get inspired
I completely forgot to celebrate Goat of the Day’s first birthday, which occurred on October 1st. I am a bit stunned that I have managed to carry on posting my goat photographs everyday for now over a year! The majority of these goats I have had the pleasure of meeting and photographing in person, with a few exceptions of when friends have met and photographed goats and sent them along, and a few famous goat portraits that float around the internet.
This feat would not have been possible without my friends who think of me when they see goats, nor would it have been possible without my partner who has patiently driven me to places where goats reside, or accompanied me to events where we will happen upon goats and who supports my daily habit. Also, this blog would not be possible without my mother who generously gave me my camera that has been hard at work photographing goats since the summer of 2019. I am also grateful to all of those people who read this blog, for whatever reason, who like the posts and give me a follow. I hope to continue to provide pictures of goats with good vibes for at least a while longer. To that end, I revisited one of my most favourite places in all of the England, Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats. I urge you if you ever find yourself in southern England to spend an afternoon among the friendly goats in their caprine utopia.
Many, many thanks to Buttercups for keeping these amazing creatures and allowing the public to enjoy
All of your struggles are simply growing pains, shaping you and making you stronger and better equipped for what lies ahead.
Keep pressing on, without struggle there is no victory.
