Why 40 wolves have shaken Danish politics Even this small number has sparked fierce debates over livestock and public safety in one of Europe's most intensively farmed countries

In Denmark if you're left-leaning or young, you're much more likely to understand that wolves are positive for ecosystems. If you're right-wing or older, the chances diminish substantially.

In a culture that glorifies endless consumption, saying 'I’m happy with what I have’ is revolutionary

I can't find a title for this glorious painting of autumn Aspen, but it's by Oregon based (Ukrainian born) artist, Anton Pavlenko, and I love it 💛

It’s comforting to wake up and say good morning to someone. Our days ahead will be different but starting with kindness and compassion helps us all 😘 Happy #Tuesday 😊

Appreciation costs nothing.

A sincere “thank you” can change someone’s day.
It builds trust. It encourages effort. It reminds people they matter.

Let’s not be too busy, too proud, or too distracted to show appreciation.
Kindness is free and needed more than ever.

From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks
Matthew 12:34 - #JesusChrist

Oftentimes, folks words reveal their thoughts and truth, so let us speak #life and #LOVE to align our words with what is all #pure and #wonderful with God! ✝️

September’s here with that back to school vibe, it get’s me every year, I don’t need a new uniform but definitely have the starting afresh feeling 😊

Day by day is a good strategy. Take care.

We said goodbye to a fellow volunteer this week at Restoration House. A remarkable lady, taken quickly, taken too soon. A reminder that life is precious and every second counts.
