Crying alert! A beautiful story about how a kitten made the difference between life and death for someone, and changed their life. The connection between our animals and ourselves is an incredible thing to be grateful for. I know that if I'm not doing so well, one of my fur babies will come along and cheer me up. Post in the comments a picture of your fur baby and share how they've made a difference in your life!

This is the place I completed my mindfulness training. Ben is running a 3 hour introduction workshop, which I highly recommend for anyone looking to begin mindfulness!
Can writing about pain make you heal faster?
"They were told to let go and to include their deepest thoughts, even if they had never shared these thoughts before. Four days running they did the same thing. It wasn’t easy. Pennebaker told me that roughly one in 20 students would end up crying, but when asked whether they wanted to continue they always did. Meanwhile a control group spent the same number of sessions writing a description of something neutral such a tree or their dorm room."
Brain Hierarchy: When Your Child’s Lower Brain Levels Are Weak, they Can’t Learn
"Did you know that the brain of an infant contains essentially all the brain cells that they will ever need for learning throughout their lifespan? Add this to the knowledge that a newborn baby’s brain is about a third the size of an adult brain, but has all the mechanics it needs to develop speech, language, balance, coordination, executive functioning and sensory input. The growth and development of the brain and its functions are fascinating. When a baby is born, the arm and leg movements resemble more of a jellyfish motion than a mature human being. But the truth is, the brain develops at an astounding speed, especially because it’s needed for higher learning functions in school. The brain development during the first six months of life is focused on motor skills and sensory processing for improving our five senses (hearing, taste, sight, smell and touch). All of this work is setting up the brain for higher learning."
