Happy, happy, happy birthday to the absolute love

Happy, happy, happy birthday to the absolute love of my life! You are all the beautiful things life has to offer wrapped up in just one person. I love you with my whole heart and there isn't a day I don't feel grateful and lucky to be your wife. You are more than I ever even hoped to find.

Your compassion, honesty, work ethic, integrity, talent, humour, and sense of adventure are incredible. More than anything, your drive to protect those that need protecting makes me so proud. You truly are a gift to the world.

Your 35th year is going to be a big one. You're only just getting warmed up and I can't wait to see where you go.

One thing is for sure, I'll be right by your side cheering the loudest and helping the most to make sure all of your dreams come true.

Happy birthday, my love. Here's to many, many more years!!!

I know a couple of people who are having trouble verbalizing their emotions and who are struggling right now. That's ok. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Getting healthy and looking after yourself is the most important thing.

I struggled for so long. I had a great support system but it was still hard as hell battling depression. I know that this pandemic has brought a lot of people back to a sad and dark place (myself included - every day is different). Don't hide there. Push those feelings into the light and ask for help. Give yourself a chance to have a happy life 💕 This won't last forever even if it feels like it might.

I once read that you don't have to feel hopeful about the future. Some days it's enough to just be curious. Please, if you're having thoughts of self-harm reach out to someone - anyone. You are valuable. There is hope for us all.

Today we said goodbye to our Goofy. He was the kin

Today we said goodbye to our Goofy. He was the kindest animal we have ever met and he brought so much happiness into our lives.

As most of you know, we rescued him in Singapore almost three years ago and later brought him home to Canada. When we adopted him we knew he would come with a lot of old man problems. We knew we wouldn't have forever because of his bad heart (and numerous other ailments) but our goal was to save his life and make his last few years great ones. He gave us even more than we could give to him.

He had a lot of issues - bad heart, terrible ear infections, a torn paw, a testicular tumor and terrible teeth but he NEVER complained or snapped when he was hurting. He was always kind and gentle, somehow knowing we just wanted to help. Even at the end, he was the "bestest" boy on the planet. The downhill happened very quickly. He suddenly stopped eating and couldn't walk properly anymore. He was so lethargic and weak at the end that we couldn't see him suffer any longer.

Today we went to the vet to put him to rest. I made the appointment yesterday and found out our amazing family vet @iberedvm was fully booked. We would have to say goodbye with another vet but we understood.

When we arrived we saw Ileana walk out of the clinic to greet us. She had moved her schedule around when she saw Goofy was in the appointment book so she could be with all of us. I burst into tears. It was one of the kindest things anyone has ever done for me and it made everything so much easier. It feels so good when someone loves your pet like you do. It feels so comforting when they matter to someone else too.

We all sat around him on a grassy patch and said our goodbyes. Beesley was there too. He went so peacefully that there was no question it was his time. Afterward we just sat with him and cried.

Goodbye our sweet boy. Find Ellie, Austin & Asha at the rainbow bridge and wait for us. Thank you for your unconditional love. I am so glad you can finally be free ❤️

Elijah McClain was a 23 year old who played violin

Elijah McClain was a 23 year old who played violin for cats at the animal shelter on his lunch break. He was a good and kind person who was murdered by police who injected him with ketamine. No one deserves this - "good" or not. Read his words that were recorded. Hear them. Tell me you wouldn't burn down all the cities in the world if this was your child. LIE TO ME and say you'd protest with nothing but love.

You're either on the right side of history or you're not. It's that simple. As a journalist and as someone who spent part of her youth growing up in Apartheid South Africa, I don't want to hear white rationalizations about what's been happening. If you're not angry, you're not paying attention. Thanks to @crystalbrownd for posting this.
