That would explain the recent release of protein cold foam...

This was such a great episode (they all are to be fair)! Hearing from Sarah Garnett, her insights and everything her organization does, was inspiring. I highly recommend this episode if you want to improve your understanding and services to this vulnerable population.

Though there is much darkness today, I hold tight to the truth that there are many people who will continue to be points of light, lighting the way for those lost in the darkness. Shall our lights continue to shine for those in need.
Image with quote from Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, "There always were two ways to live in a world that is often dark and full of tears. We can curse the darkness or we can light a light, and as the Chassidim say, a little light drives out much darkness. May we all help light up the world."

As good things should come in threes, I present my current furry, canine boarders. The one on the left is actually mine, the one in the back is a short-term doggo, and the one on the right is our long-term doggo. Bask in their adorable glory!

I always enjoy when I am reading a book and the author includes some form of praise for another author I hold in the utmost high regard. I give you the following excerpt from Kevin Hearne's Hammered, a novel from The Iron Druid Chronicles. @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com
Picture of a paragraph from Kevin Hearne's Hammered. Excerpt says: "He makes people lose their minds, and I'm sure some of them lose bladder control as well." "I see. And who is this author?" "Neil Fucking Gaiman." "His second name is Fucking?" "No, Leif, that's the honorary second name all celebrities are given by their fans. It's not an insult, it's a huge compliment, and he's earned it. You'd like him. He dresses in black like you. Read a couple of his books, and then when you meet him, you'll squee too."

This juxtapositioning of posts is on point, so I had to share.
