A weekly list of things I love and what’s going on with me.
Oh my goodness, I love where science meets the soul! So this interview with Brene Brown had me in tears. Really, it’s a manual for life as a human and a parent.
Because of my work, I know everyone has a story that will break your heart. Everyone is completely feeling isolated and alone and ‘less-than’ and those feelings are the one thing that we all share in common.

Acupuncture works on dogs just like it does on people. Goody did acupuncture for his allergies, it worked. So sorry to hear about Sawyer’s condition. Heartbreaking – no other way around it. It just is. I feel your pain.
