Pet Blessing

Image
This is Frida Calico, aka The Floof.  She tolerates snuggles, brings joy to Zoom meetings, and is a great interrupter of puzzles.  (She likes to sit in the puzzle box or on the scattered pieces.)  I am grateful for her companionship.  My pets have added connection and coziness to my life.  I'm thinking others can relate. The Care Neighborhood will provide loving thoughts for the creatures that impact us.  This is a Pet Blessing Event for all our animal friends...Great or Small...Scaly or Smooth...Fur or Feathers.... If anyone would like to participate in the joy, please send your pet pics and stories to @TheCareNeighborhood on Instagram #petblessing or email TheCareNeighborhood@gmail.com. I'll be LIVE on Instagram Wednesday, April 22 --Earth Day -- at 9am and 10pm CDT for the Pet Blessing event! 😻💗💗

Autumn Reflections Happy Fall, Y'all!  -from our family to yours At The Care Neighborhood we had a few practices over the season. Cozy AF (alcohol-free) Nights Honoring Ancestors on November Eve / Halloween Social Hours Self-care Micro-practices Thanksgiving As we transition to the next season, I want to pause and reflect and recap a few things from the autumn/fall. Cozy AF (alcohol-free) Nights:  Statistics show that alcohol consumption has increased over the past few years, especially during the Pandemic. I found myself drinking more than I wanted and drinking every day in 2020.  I reached out to a counselor, and she gave me the advice to try a sober night once or twice a week.  It could help to break the pattern, help me practice other methods of relaxation, and cut back my alcohol consumption overall.  I was glad to share my own practice in The Care Neighborhood, invite community care into this self-care practice.   Here are some ideas for an alcohol-free night on any day of th
