There are moments in life where you are raring to go and life…well…isn’t. Maybe it is the height of the warm (hot) season and you couldn’t be more excited about looking for love, filling your belly and making your way in this small round blue world. Then suddenly you are told to do something calledContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Sheltering in Place”

Being Brave with Bruce: When You Need a Friend
We all need rescuing sometimes. For many of us, being rescued isn’t a once-in-a-lifetime need, either. While there is something to be said for having a well-laid plan, this can only take you so far. This is especially the case when, in the eyes of most of your planet-mates, you are exactly the right shapeContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: When You Need a Friend”
Being Brave with Bruce: Living the Good Green Life
“Good life” means different things to different beings. If you are a large shell-less being, perhaps living a good life means you survived another day on the lam from a certain set of highly infectious microscopic particles. Or it might mean you return home that night to discover your (wine) glass is half-full yet again.ContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Living the Good Green Life”
Happy Day O’ Independence from Love & Feathers & Shells
When you are just a chick and your bullying flockmates bite off your left wing tip and three of your eight powerful sharp curved talons, independence becomes kind of a thing. You had it when you were born. But now you don’t have it. You can’t fly like the other birds. You need help toContinueContinue reading “Happy Day O’ Independence from Love & Feathers & Shells”
Being Brave with Bruce: Getting Back Out There
Life frequently seems to present more questions than answers. There is the question of what will become of our small (shared) round blue planet. And the question of what it might be like when you get a lot older than you are now. And then there is the question of when to “get back outContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Getting Back Out There”
Being Brave With Bruce: A Time to Step Up
There are days when it is a good day to hide. Such as the day you wake up to (are woken up by) the shrieks of the hungry hawk babies in the tree next door as they scream for their breakfast. Which, in turn, attracts the feline from one house over – a furry, fangedContinueContinue reading “Being Brave With Bruce: A Time to Step Up”
Being Brave with Bruce: Sitting Cute
Life can be very hard at times. Oh so very hard. But then there are those pivotal moments in every being’s life that make all the hardships and scary-ness (a technical term) and challenges worth it. Like the moment when that huge snarfling predator stomps right past you (because you are such an excellent hider).ContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Sitting Cute”
Happy Birthday to Our Small Chef!
Once each year a very special day arrives. It is the day when a certain flock-wide Small Chef turns one year younger. And wiser. And even more special. It doesn’t matter what species you are – a Grandma’s love is a Grandma’s love. When you know you are loved and cared for and doted uponContinueContinue reading “Happy Birthday to Our Small Chef!”
Being Brave with Bruce: It’s the Climb
The large shell-less beings have a saying. “When the going gets tough, it’s a good time to hibernate.” Or something like that. But there is something to be said for staying brave. For showing up. For stepping up to the plate (especially if it has a plump wriggling earthworm on it). For making the climb.ContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: It’s the Climb”
Happy Father’s & Mother’s & Grandparents Day!
Being a Dad or a Mom is a pretty big deal, for sure. But being a grandbirdparent – now that is something special. And being a grandturtleparent – how many beings on this small round blue planet can add that singular honor to their lifetime resume? At first glance, it might seem like your largeContinueContinue reading “Happy Father’s & Mother’s & Grandparents Day!”
