Chesterton’s Fence is a principle that reminds us to look before we leap. To understand before we act. It’s a cautionary reminder to understand why something is the way it is before meddling in change. It's a principle we all should use more often. 🥠

Forgive the action, forget the intent. 🥠
Forgiveness isn’t letting someone off the hook — it’s freeing yourself. 🌱
Take back your peace, one choice at a time.

It with a heavy heart that we say farewell to English zoologist, primatologist and anthropologist, Jane Goodall. She and her work with chimpanzee inspired me to study animals.

Everyone experiences fear at some point in their lives. Luckily, our bodies produce oxytocin, which we produce during social bonding, and helps reduce that fear. Make a friend to fend off fear.🥠

With the bluebird nesting season over, I'm eager to get back to writing & illustrating. Except that I worry about the hearts of humankind. They are fighting like troops of chimpanzee, and that never ends well.

I can get long-winded sometimes. Every now and then, I have to remind myself to go back to the basics of writing. 🥠

Took a break from work to have fun in the woods. Injured my foot, not from hiking a mountain or portaging my canoe, but from the dang steps at the cabin. However, the view was nice while it lasted.

This fortune reminds me of the Rolling Stones single, "You can't always get what you want." When searching for happiness, sometimes it's right in front of you or not what you expected.🥠
