So true! Your yard might not look picture perfect, but you would be amazed at how many pollinators we sheltered last spring by exercising a little patience before the perfect mow! Sooo many ladybugs!

This is good.

Are you able to let go this year?

Great advice, friends.

Be encouraged. Be a light. Be a small voice in their ear. Show kindness. Let's relax into the holidays and soak up any joy we can.
Encourage someone you know. Share the message with others. ❤️

In nature, seasons change and the trees sleep in winter. The light of day lessens and the wildlife activity slows. We can too.

YES!

The holiday season sometimes brings people down. So many big shared events have happened to all of us. Be encouraged. Please share with at least one human who could use encouragement too ❤️
