Cohabitating on a small round blue planet with other beings of all shapes and sizes and species can only mean one thing: Every being is needed. (Even the beings with shells, oddly enough). Every being knows hardship and hope, obstacles and opportunities, failure and triumph. Every single being matters, which means every single being willContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Be the Change”

Being Brave with Bruce: Sunny Side Up
No matter how hard you try to avoid it, there may be days when you just wake up feeling like the sun isn’t shining inside you. It is behind the clouds somewhere. Or taking a break. Or maybe it went on vacation. While sometimes this feeling passes quite quickly, at other times it may linger.ContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Sunny Side Up”
Resting in Place with Malti: Mud Rings
If there is one thing you learn quickly when living in an interspecies flock, it is that other species can have some pretty strange hobbies. Take the large shell-less species, for instance. “Getting dark” is clearly the universal symbol for “it’s bedtime already.” Yet when it gets dark outside, they like to stay awake andContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Mud Rings”
Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: When Life Hands You Potatoes
While some beings like to stay with their own species all the time, other beings may choose instead to keep company with different species. Not only does this give you a chance to learn unusual sayings and customs you might never otherwise have heard of, but it also shows you where you have something inContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: When Life Hands You Potatoes”
Being Brave with Bruce: A Foot Up
It can be quite the adjustment to go from a mostly solitary life to living in the heart of an interspecies flock. Needless to say, making the transition can take some time. At first, you may be tempted to just hide, hide, hide. After all, it has (mostly) worked well for you so far….at leastContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: A Foot Up”
Resting in Place with Malti: Soak Your Troubles Away
Evolutionarily speaking, it is easy to explain why nearly all beings – regardless of species – seem to so enjoy a good soak. Primordial soup. Soaking is so relaxing. You can just settle in. Take a load off. Luxuriate. But where in the past you had to share the soup pot (so to speak) withContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Soak Your Troubles Away”
Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: A Beak-on of Hope
If there is one fact you can always count on in life, it is this: Someone, somewhere, is always out looking for lunch. This means the key to surviving (not to mention thriving) is not to attempt to vanquish all the predators in the world all at once. Rather, you just need to do aContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: A Beak-on of Hope”
Being Brave with Bruce: Mountain Climbing
Sometimes you might wake up and be really in the mood to do some mountain climbing. You are full of vim and vigor. Bring it on! You were born to summit. But then again, a mountain might arrive at just the wrong moment – such as during your winter brumation or when you are inContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Mountain Climbing”
Resting in Place with Malti: Dining In
After a long day, there is no doubt it can be nice to do something called “dining out.” In this scenario, all you have to do is get yourself to the table and chew. Another being does the rest of the heavy lifting (not to mention the scrubbing and rinsing). But then a bunch ofContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Dining In”
Being Brave with Bruce: Sheltering in Place
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”
