Give Paws

I recently made a trip to visit a trio of lion cubs at my local zoo. They were just the right combination of fluff and chaotic cuteness. Following each other around the habitat, occasionally checking in with mom or taking a playful swipe/pounce at one of their siblings. It was a pleasant, wholesome way toContinue reading “Give Paws”

Groggy Gratitude

The arrival of spring has me feeling a little groggy (yay allergies!) and in search of gratitude. If that sentiment has you rolling your eyes, I get it. Most of us aren’t wired to focus on the positives. If we have a headache, we generally won’t feel grateful for our pain-free knees. In my searchContinue reading “Groggy Gratitude”

Of course, taking a step back before a break is needed is even better.Continue reading “Reroute to Rest”

A Little Love

A few years ago, I purchased a miniature rose plant. Before adding it to my windowsill garden I gave it a name, as one does. Mr. Thornton is a northern gentleman with a fondness for southern sunshine. He can be a bit prickly but is also sweet…sometimes. This week, I’ve learned something new about myContinue reading “A Little Love”
