      <3 Thank you, Mary. I'm ok with fireworks, but my dog Lily is not. So I spend most of the night protecting her!

      @Finchy many of our furfriends are. Big hugs to Lily, too.  :dog7:

  5. Sending strength and wishing for safety for those living close the California wildfires...or those who worry for someone close to them that are by affected by them. 

    I do personally know one person on the evacuation edge of the Eaton fire and has decided to take a flight home to stay with her mother, which I am very grateful for. I know she is safe. 

    I know many more are still in this path of these destructive fires, some in this community...and hope beyond hope that they are contained soon. Do what you need to do to stay safe.

    We want you safe. :throb:

      I echo your sentiments. I hope that the person you know will be ok, same with everyone else in the areas. ❤️

  7. Things we should no longer apologize for.

    Every one of us deserves to have others respect these things about us...we should never have had to apologized to others or ourselves in the first place! smiley_duck.gif

    Truthfully, I'm still working on most of these myself, but I love this list, and I love this community! smiley_hearts.gif

  8. Today is the 4th of July...Independence Day, here in the U.S. It should be a day of celebration, but I know it is not for all.

    This post is for anyone finding the festivities, the gatherings, or especially the loud, sudden noises and vibrations of fireworks just too much. I am sitting with you! :throb: 

    Here are a few tips that might help you thru:

      I'm not bothered so much by the fireworks, but have been dealing with a very, very anxious doggy all day long.  Thankfully the noise has stopped within the last hour and he's calming down.  I think I'm going to look into the noise-canceling headphones for him for next year!

  9. Sadly, not all fathers are created equal. When you have a father that doesn't even deserve this title, Father's Day can be difficult, triggering, and even a pathetic joke of a day.

    Today I recognize those who were cheated out of someone that was deserving that title...for those who can't stand this day and just trying to get thru it the best way they can.

    I see you.

    Sending love and support today. You deserved much better. :throb:

    Just as important...we send love and compassion for anyone struggling with this day. We are sitting with you. You are not alone. :throb:

  16. I'm a little late, as today is the last day of  :tealribbon: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month :tealribbon:  but I thought this was a good reminder for any day, any week or any month of the year. 

    We are way too hard on ourselves, as we battle PTSD or any other disorder or battle any kind of struggle, due to the trauma we've endured.

    It, in fact, takes a strong person to battle every day. I see so many strong people in this community. I see you! 

    If you doubt it for yourself...let me remind you...

    YOU ARE STRONG! YOU ARE BRAVE! YOU ARE SUCH AN AMAZING PERSON!

    Yes. I see YOU. :throb:
