So… I met a wonderful woman recently who shared her story of how she used to bring pigeons to the vet.
A woman who was highly in tune with the pain of others, humans and animals, she found it difficult not to try to help those around her, including the pigeons. She told me this story with great humour, looking back on herself then with great warmth.
Bringing pigeons to the vet might be an endearing act but trying to help everyone around you all the time is not sustainable. This woman understood this with time, and the pigeons have to fend for themselves today.
When was the last time you looked at your own life, and took stock of how many others you are trying to help or please everyday?
Maybe it is time to tune into yourself.
How can you care for yourself today, with just one simple act?
