How a Facebook Ad Completed Our Family
When we talk about rescuing animals there is a deep sense of satisfaction that comes from watching them become more confident and comfortable with themselves. There is a lingering sadness of the life they had before you, and I think almost everyone wishes they got their rescue just a little bit sooner to save them from some of the trauma they endured.

The Most Ordinary Day
Today was perfect. The kind of perfect that reminds you why you believed in magic as a little kid and could spend hours chasing imaginary friends and fairies around your yard. The sun rose on the early winter day, and shone perfectly through my yard, in the way a child might show the sun's rays hitting the earth. The air smelled like Christmas, and the tea kettle hissed as water boiled for my toddler's oatmeal, the house smelled like cinnamon. Our small dog was snuggled up on the couch, in his old age the early rise of his little best friend was not something he was a fan of, but his desire to never be alone forces his ageing limbs out of the bed where he snuggles warm with my finace and I, onto the couch with his cat sisters, reluctant grunts as he stretches at hearing the child's first cries.

But Roses Have Thorns
If we could view the world with a little more love what could we accomplish? What if we could approach each other with extended hands instead of a closed fist? What if there was a world where kindness was not seen as a weakness but as the ultimate show of strength?

To All Those Who Came Before
We are each a mosaic of you. We have been pieced together with all the bits of you that you didn't know we were watching. You are strength and wisdom. Fire and ice. You have taught us to love passionately, and feel anger fiercely because no emotion is worth feeling if it isn't felt through every cell in your body.
