Share Sunday time...

As always just a few things I came across on the web recently

that I thought interesting enough to pass along to you all...

(if you ever have suggestions of your own do email your links but only positive things please).

Link 1: Understanding Your Gut Flora & Your 'Second Brain'

(because I got pretty sick last year for months, my whole body, all because my gut flora was off).

Link 2:  Tick Makes People Allergic To Meat...WHAT!!!

This is a bit older but I think it's amazing because as a Vegan of course I want people to eat less meat and here is nature in a way telling the world, hey it's time to change your ways humans!

& my favorite Link 3:  Woman Becomes Friends With A Honey Bee

Any story where a person shows kindness to a creature, furry, feathered or otherwise is one I am going to like but this one is especially cool because how many people do you know who would take the time and effort to care for a bee like this?  It just make me happy & if your feeling like I have been, just extra sensitive to all the crap going on out there, you need a happy joyful story too.

Enjoy XO I hope to see you all again next week.

I only have one link to share with you this week...I keep watching it...
it makes me cry with sadness at the harm humans do BUT also with joy at the animals tenacity
and with pure elated happiness for the mans kind heart & determination for one single little creature.

the powerful story of The Squirrel With No Arms,
I hope it makes your heart feel uplifted like it does for me XO Happy Sunday

Link 1:  How to do your own breast exams...

It's no secret...Woman should take self breast exams very seriously...I do...

especially after going through a scary time after I found a lump in my own breast a few years ago.

Link 2:  How to make effective To-Do lists...

cause with a new year just starting it's the perfect time

I love my to-do lists...mind you, mine have to be used with a lot of fluidity because of my migraines my own personal trick is stick-it notes, so I can easily move tasks to a new day when need be.

Share Sunday

I have only have one link to share with you this Share Sunday & Misa & I hope you'll check it out

because it's oozing with sweetness that'll just squeeze your heart...

It's a 30 minute short called "Stickman"...we LOVE it sooooo.

I know your time online is short like mine but I am positive you'll adore it too if you give it a try!

Share Sunday On Saturday

I feel the need to post my usual Share Sunday today instead of waiting another day,

so this week it's a Share Saturday if you please.

This week as we here in Northern Ontario Canada are blissfully buried under cold pure white snow,

we put out extra seeds, peanuts and apples etc for the birds, critters and deer

and extra old blankets in the garage for the squirrels that live out there,

we provide little areas where they can huddle in for warmth and get a break from the snow

and we know that the bunny fluff we spread outside all last Fall will be keeping lots of nests warms.

But my heart has been hurting deeply as my mind is just constantly on the fires in California.

I of course feel for all the people being affected but my heart aches for all the animals.

So this week my Share Sunday are good/happy links amidst all the devastation...

I keep watching this

video of a kind kind guy rescuing a wild bunny from the fires.

I think I keep watching it because whiles my heart chokes at the fear these animals must feel,

I have hope that there are more kind people out there than I think there are, willing to stop & help.

I know there are going to be beautiful places and people like this

and like this who will be opening their doors & offering a hand to all of those

misplaced & injured (but I can't help but constantly think on all the ones who didn't make it).

 but it's all of the good stories that I am trying to concentrate

on so my heart doesn't feel such overwhelm.  It's easy for me to look down on people in general

because as a person who has rescued animals first hand & who adopts shelter bunnies, I see

how animals are treated poorly & forgotten by people, it can breed hate sometimes, so it's a must for me to concentrate on and find the good stories & kind people, the amazing people who

are helping despite the fact that their own homes are burning

I will be looking at my favorite animal charities & will decide which one is best to make a donation to but if your anywhere near the area and your able to help out in any way, shape or form

there is a list at the bottom of this article to point you in the right direction

XOXO Hugs and Kisses from my tender heart to all of my fellow tender-hearted XOXO

Hi Ya, here's some link love and inspiration heading your way XO.......

Okay this little bit I want to show you was a complete surprise to me and totally made my heart burst,
I get alot of letters from people who admire my tenacity with pain and how much work I get done anyhow but I've never really considered my life or way of living to be an inspiration to anyone
but apparently I am, ha ha...this is from a darling and sweet fellow maker/creative.
She was interviewed for The Willful Project and she (unexpectedly to me) gives
little old me one of the sweetest shout outs I've ever received
(watch the whole video of course but to see what has me smiling still jump to minute 1:00 on the dot)

*******

Did you guys ever see this news story
about rabbits who hopped on top of sheep to survive a flood?

It's sad I suppose but I like to concentrate on the fact that they were tenacious enough to find saftey, that the sheep let them stay up there on them & most importantly that the farmer who found them
let them be realizing the poor souls worked hard enough to survive.
Now people wouldn't typically think about rabbits as being able to grasp with their paws but
I've experienced it myself...only once but I did.  When we adopted our late Emmett from the shelter,
I was holding him the whole time it took to do the paperwork etc and I didn't want to hog him,
so I thought to pass him over to his new Daddy for a spell but that little guy actually gripped my coat
with this little front paws and wouldn't let go, so I ended up keeping him in my arms.
I will always remember that feeling, of his holding onto me, I too had no idea buns could do that.

*******

I am probably one of the only ones cooing over the animal instead of the baby int his gif
but hey I gotta share it anyhow just incase you've not seen it yet....
Bunny Steals From Baby 

Enjoy Lovelies...see you tommorow XOXO

Share Sunday

It's that time, I hope your had lots of beauty in your week....

In case you need a dose of good... it's time to share some sweetness...

time for Share Sunday...

Link 1:  A Beautifully Bonded Bunny & Pigeon

This news story is from last year but it still makes my heart happy.

It's a short tale about a orphaned baby bunny and a pigeon that bond and help each other grow & heal.

Check it out, I bet it'll make you smile.

Link 2:  Iron Rich Kind Choices

It really irritates me when people assume us vegans and vegetarians are starved or unhealthy.

Here is a great article about all the delicious beautiful foods that are actually

higher in Iron than any meat sources...it's especially good reference for my fellow veg-head XO.

Link 3:  Help For The Sensitive

If your like me and are super sensitive and are a heart-on-your-sleever, this is for you.

I myself practice all of these self-kindness tips & they all in their own way help my sensitive heart.

If you have any tips, leave a comment and tell us.

Enjoy and a Happy Happy Weekend is being wished your way XOXO

Share Sunday

I have a folder on my computer where I put links that I think people should see

and that folder is getting uncontrollably big, so I thought

Hey, why not do a dedicated post, maybe a weekly one, where I share these links with you guys...

It'll vary from week to week no doubt, as I am intrigued, inspired & interested

in a multitude of things, you of course, can pick and choose to follow each link or just one or none!

Goodness knows there are enough horrible things grabbing our attention in the news everyday...

let's use this like my artwork & life with bunnies, as a good, much needed dose of whimsy and happy

(If any of these links inspire you or you want to share your thoughts do let me know XO.)

Without further ado, let's do it...our very first

"Share Sunday"...

Link 1:  Coping With Grief

(I am a huge fan of Kris Carr and this article of hers is insightful and gentle and I think it hit home

with me particularly because of all the losses I've gone through in my own life, especially lately,

and because of losses I see my family and friends go through too...and because there is such a

stigma to grieving and there shouldn't be.  We should all be allowed to grieve in our own unique ways because goodness knows we all have different stories and sharing our tenderness & vulnerabilities should be a beautiful connective thing, not something shied away from.

Link 2: Wind Creatures

I am not on Facebook (I hate Facebook) , this video is on there but you should be able to view it

even if your like me and not a FaceBooker.  It's these crazy amazing, so beautiful but almost creepy

man-made animal/insect like creations by artist Theo Jansen

that scuttle across the beaches all by the power of wind.

Check them out, they are so amazing.

Link 3:  Giant Glow In The Dark Bunnies

I don't know how or why someone made these but I am glad they did.

Can you imagine, just walking in the city (p.s. I dream of visiting San Francisco some day)

and falling into a field of these guys at night...what a dream that would be.

This kind of thing makes me happy because it reminds people of the importance of whimsy

and how it can inspire and simply make whimsy loving hearts happy.

Enjoy.
