Years ago one of my mom's patients moved to Alaska. She knew my mom loved moose &the first Christmas after she moved away she gifted this to my mother. It's literally made of shellacked moose poop. It is the Odenthal family's most prized ornament. We have the shittiest tree in the neighborhood! 😁😂❤️🫎

Waterfall pose is the best for when you hurt from all the standing. Prop your legs on the wall, arm of couch, whatever. Just lie down and stick your legs in the air.
