✨ Merry Christmas from sunny (and sweltering!) Australia ✨
As we wrap up another year, I’ve been reflecting on the quiet, powerful ways our animals have supported us through all the highs, lows, and growth in between.
Here in Australia, Christmas isn’t snowflakes and mulled wine - it’s 40-degree days, sandy feet, and dogs racing into the ocean like they’ve been waiting all year for this moment. While we humans juggle the heat, the to-do lists, and the Christmas chaos, our animals remind us of something simple and profound:
Connection matters more than perfection.
Presence matters more than plans.
And joy can be found in the smallest moments… like watching your dog sprint straight into a wave.
So this Christmas, I hope you find a little space to breathe. To slow down. To share a quiet moment of stillness with the animals who love you without condition.
Whether this year has stretched you, softened you, or transformed you - I’m sending you warmth, peace, and gratitude for walking this path with me.
From my heart (and my beach-loving dogs) to yours -
Merry Christmas. Stay cool, stay kind, and soak up the magic of the season. 💛🐾🌊
