This pup has my heart.
She’s camera shy,
But loves belly rubs &
Long sniffy walks.

This is what honor and gratitude look like.
“In the last week, more than 200 veterans have volunteered to attend immigration hearings with Afghans who worked with U.S. forces during the 20-year war in Afghanistan…”
Hundreds of veterans volunteer to attend asylum hearings with Afghans
The effort began after a former Afghan interpreter was detained after his San Diego asylum hearing this month.

Girls Weekend; a few minutes of sun in a succession of drenching storms. Still, it’s the company that matters. And the fun boozy drinks. And yummy snacks.

Finding peace in spite of the chaos. Holding loved ones close, when separation is so easy. Prayer, not worry. Breathe deeply and know the mission- We are here to love.

I’m reminded everyday- Preparing children for kindergarten & beyond means focusing on the here and now- meeting kids where they are, teaching social emotional skills, and nurturing curiosity & love of learning. Thank you teachers for all you do!!!

When you read a post that makes your heart settle, your whole being relax a bit…. Then you know it’s for you:
Everything we do now is important.
We resist and oppose by staying who we are.
Our love for our animals, children, and even our gardens, is what makes us who we are.
Plant something. Pet something. Love something.
Share what you can
Save what you can.
