Being Brave with Bruce: Claws of Comfort

Resting in Place with Malti: A Little Love Goes a Long Way
When you are born slow and low to the ground, you are easy to miss. This can sometimes be a good thing.

Being Brave with Bruce: the Many Faces of Brave
It is easy to think of “brave” as being only when you are presenting your full-on, nostrils-first, wide-eyed, out-in-the-open self to the world. To face the scary things.

Resting in Place with Malti: N-Okay Days
Some days, life is a-okay. The papaya is flowing. The water is so crisp and refreshing it tastes like a whole school of (Grandma’s organic steamed) salmon just swam through it. All is well.

Resting in Place with Malti: Stop and Smell the Ferns
Life sure can get hectic sometimes. And crazy. And busy. It can seem like it goes by in the blink of an eye. This can make it all too easy to forget to stop. Take a big deep breath in.
