Being Brave with Bruce: Coming Out of Your Box
You know you’ve won the genetic lottery when you pop out of your small round white escape pod and discover you are wearing a handy “box.” So unlike most beings (aka the less lucky ones), you’ve just traded one cloaking device for another. Anytime something wanders by that looks a little too curious – orContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Coming Out of Your Box”
Resting in Place with Malti: Cold Blood, Warm Heart
Rumor has it that beings with shells are “cold-blooded.” As so many rumors go, this one is interesting for sure. And also wrong. Sure, your exterior often feels cool to the touch – except when you’ve been basking under your toasty warm indoor UV lamp or in the occasional direct warm winter sunbeam. In otherContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Cold Blood, Warm Heart”
Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Making Snow While the Sun Shines
Being covered in soft downy feathers practically guarantees you will be dodging the paparazzi for life. And while hiring a large featherless MommyGuard can keep the workload manageable, it may also bring with it some rather odd customs you have to get used to. For example, let’s say you live in the south. The sub-tropicalContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Making Snow While the Sun Shines”
Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: With Parrot
When you are a flock mama, you know there are two methods to accomplish any task on the daily to-do list. The first way is “without parrot.” This way is expedient. Efficient. Quiet. And absolutely no fun. Guess what the second way is? Not surprisingly, “with parrot” is much cuter. It comes with free spontaneousContinueContinue reading “Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: With Parrot”
Being Brave with Bruce: Trust Does a Body Good
“Trust” isn’t a very popular concept in the greater food chain o’ life. In other words, it’s all one big happy until somebody gets eaten. But just because trusting others didn’t exactly come pre-installed in your survival skills 101 toolkit doesn’t mean you can’t learn how to trust when the moment is right. Let’s sayContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Trust Does a Body Good”
Resting in Place with Malti: A Couch Potato A Day
Just like each being has their own unique personality, so too does each day have its own unique way of being. Some days are oh-so-active days – all go, no stop, eat it all, check it all off the list. And then there are the other days. Thank goodness. You know it is going toContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: A Couch Potato A Day”
Resting in Place with Malti: Little Tortoise People
Being born with a shell on your back means you get used to shells fairly early in life. Like right on Day One. Unfortunately, the same can’t always be said for everyone else. It isn’t your fault your shell is really cute. Or curved. Or colorful. You can’t help it if it came fully loadedContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Little Tortoise People”
Being Brave with Bruce: Use Your Box
There is something to be said for using your voice. Then again, there is also something to be said for using your box. In other words, it isn’t always the right time to stand up and be counted…especially if what’s doing the counting looks hungry. Just as there is a time to look for ladyContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Use Your Box”
Resting in Place with Malti: Get Up and Go
Being small and shelled and slow, you naturally know something your large, quick, over-anxious MommyGuard does not. Get up and go is over-rated. Sometimes it is really better to sit it out for awhile. Sitting feels great. Sitting is restful. Sitting can readily lead to snoozing (which is even more restful). Not to mention thatContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Get Up and Go”
