Koko and I are working hard at Sundaying - lying in the sun, reading the second book in a series from an author I only recently discovered. I'm 13 pages in when this sentence made me pause and PAWS... "When her husband died, five years back, she learned the skill of taking every scrap of happiness where she could find it." I lay the book down on my chest and took some moments to focus on the feel of Koko's warmth on my legs, feel her sigh and shift a little, took a slow deep breath myself, softened internally, and was grateful for her presence. I took that morsel of happiness and made it bigger by being present with it. A very PAWS moment. ✨

I love being in untamed, wild nature. So today we had a little cacao ceremony, a drum journey and meditation outside in the bush. I’m beyond blessed this is 5min from my house. Pax wanted a bit more action but he practiced sitting still while I meditated and just enjoyed the raw beauty of this place . He also joined the drum with his own vocals 🤣🙏 💛

….so much so, he ate it 🤣😬

Nim has started requesting hugs upon returning home. I help him out of the car and he makes it very clear it’s time to connect. Curious where this leads. Photo of a different kind of connection.
