Happy Earth Day 2026 🌿
When I was a physical therapist, the body taught me everything is interconnected. Nature is the same. We breathe what forests create and drink what rivers carry. We’re not separate from nature—we’re part of it. Notice how it’s supporting you today.
#EarthDay2026
🌿 Protect Manatees 🌿
For Manatee Appreciation Day, take action! Manatees and other species rely on the Endangered Species Act. H.R. 1897 could weaken it.
📞 Contact your U.S. House Rep: house.gov
Every voice matters.

Extreme heat doesn’t just affect us…
it affects wildlife.
In a world out of balance,
we are being called to restore it—
one life, one moment, one act of compassion at a time.

This International Forest Day, go forest bathing. Breathe the trees, feel the wind, hear the birds. Forest bathing restores mind, body, and soul. We are part of this living system — and nature renews us every time we step outside. To find a guide near you, visit: anft.earth/listings/.
Animal beings see us beyond the masks we wear and love us as we are.
While visiting @thegentlebarn to meet Ellie Laks for a podcast, I received cow-hug therapy from the St. Louis Six. I was grieving my beloved shih-tzu, Diva, and their gentle presence helped me simply be myself again.

The subconscious mind is fully developed at birth, and believes everything from what society and our families tell us.
What if we had been taught as children that all animals have equal value?

It feels so good that I can now compost my food with WasteNot Composting Service. All I have to do is put my food scraps in a bucket and WasteNot handles the rest. Easy peasy.

Did you know some sugars like refined sugar, use bone char from animal bones to whiten the sugar? While other sugars are free of animal-byproducts, like the brand Zulka.

I just finished reading The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben. It is a fascinating read that not only deepened and expanded my understanding of trees as social creatures but also revealed that they share qualities similar to ours.

Day Two of the Reconnection Retreat at @Peakanimalsanctuary was just as magical as Day One.
The retreat itself felt so restorative to me, being with people who truly care for animals and nature as a whole.

So much love and connection was created at the Reconnection Retreat. It was an absolute joy to witness and be a part of it. Stay tuned for Day 2.

"Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded, and the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust.”

Even as the leaves are dying and getting ready to fall from the trees, they still give us the gift of beauty, changing colors that delights the eyes. Nature never fails to fascinate, even as it says goodbye.
