Every Single Day, Do Something That Makes Your Heart Sing!!!

"I pray to the birds because I believe they will carry the messages of my heart upward. I pray to them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day - the invocations and benedictions of Earth. I pray to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear. And at the end of my prayers, they teach me how to listen." Terry Tempest Williams

"Healing birds helped me feel connected without being connected and vulnerable. It was like knowing someone cared. I don't know what it takes to know that or how it happened but it did." AK in Colorado
