Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Getting Creative
There is no such thing as an un-creative individual. In fact, have you ever noticed there isn’t even a word for a being who lacks creativity? This is because the word for that being is “lunch.” In other words, just surviving through the lunch rush can take some pretty fancy footwork. To get creative isContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Getting Creative”
Being Brave with Bruce: One of a Kind You
Being born with a cute curved shell and adorable orange cheek patches can make it seem like it would be so easy to be yourself. After all, who wouldn’t want to be you? The cuteness! The preciousness! The perfectness! But then again, it is all a matter of perspective. To some beings, just the sightContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: One of a Kind You”
Resting in Place with Malti: Letting the Love In
When you first pop out the top of your small round white escape pod, you get so much attention. So much love. Everyone “oohs” and “aahs” over how cute you are, how pint-sized and perfect. You get lots of lap time. Photo moments. The freshest and best of everything. Then you get bigger. And bigger.ContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Letting the Love In”
Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: What Goes Down
Up is good. Up feels great. Everyone likes “up.” But then there is what comes next. Down. Down has fewer fans. Some outright foes. And more than a few frenemies. Yet “up” and “down” aren’t so different, in the sense that when you are down, well, you know what is coming next. That’s right. Up!ContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: What Goes Down”
Being Brave with Bruce: Take a Big Deep Breath
If there is one thing tough times seem tailor-made to teach us, it might be simply this…. You can never get enough oxygen. It might not seem like a big deal to you-as-a-whole. But at the micro-cosmic level, when you start holding your breath, all those cells and protons and neutrons and neural connections reallyContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Take a Big Deep Breath”
Resting in Place with Malti: A Raspberry A Day
There are days when everything just flows. You keep to your set schedule. Those check-marks next to all those to-do list items keep piling up. You feel on top of it all.

Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Be a Waffle Hero
Everyone needs a hero sometimes. But not everyone who needs a hero is equally good at letting others know. Some beings need extra encouragement to open up about the hard times. For instance, they might be the “strong and silent” type that struggles to ask for help. Or they might just not wear their emotionsContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Be a Waffle Hero”
Being Brave with Bruce: A Fresh New View
Routine can be comforting. You wake up, pop open your box, slowly stretch out your (adorable, yellow-dotted) front legs, back legs, tail, head. You soak up some rays as usual, then head out to forage up your tasty breakfast. And so it goes, one day following another. Until one day you start to wonder ifContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: A Fresh New View”
Resting in Place with Malti: Stand Up Tall
When you are lucky enough to be born with four short legs (instead of, say, two tall legs), you master “walking” pretty much right away. Before you’ve even hardly exited your small round white escape pod, you are walking like a pro. Go you! But “standing,” well, that is another matter. Maybe you don’t wantContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Stand Up Tall”
