If you have enough push, you don't have to worry about the pull.
If I ever find myself overwhelmed, it's only because I am overwhelmed by how much more I want to learn. That is what drives me.
I think it's time we take a step back and recognize that while we are hurting our animals, we are hurting each other, and we are hurting our planet.
What we do to animals directly impacts everything, because we are all connected. It disrupts the food chain, it funds terrorism (ivory), it changes our climate, our oceans, it starts wars.
I think we learn some of the greatest lessons in life from animals, whether it's love, suffering, or the value of silence.
Once I realized that the only thing I can actually control in this life is my own mind, how I choose to react, feel, and perceive, I felt immediately liberated.

I feel like the people from Iceland have a different relationship with their country than other places. Most Icelandic people are really proud to be from there, and we don't have embarrassments like World War II where we were cruel to other people.
The seasons of life are not meant to be frenetic, just full. Blessed is the woman who knows her own limits.
