The end of August brings change. It’s a mixing of the old and the new: leaves turning color as trees prepare for winter, shorter evenings and the excitement of fall activities.
The transition is familiar, but discovery and connection to the season make it new and fresh.
How flexible are you?
Can you pivot when unexpected change is tossed your way?
Just like stretching your muscles, flexibility with change can be developed, too. It can start with small things, like trying something new or letting something go.
How can you “be bendy” today?
Today is National Bad Poetry Day. It’s an opportunity for us all to shine! ✨ Have your thesaurus handy?

We think you are simply sublime.
You may roll your eyes
But we aren’t telling lies!
Will you share your attempt at a rhyme?
Feel ambivalent about Mondays? Even the Guinness World Records has called Monday the “Worst Day of the Week”.

Today is Hinamatsuri (doll festival) in Japan. Observances include setting up elaborate displays of dolls, eating traditional foods, and having parties to celebrate the girls in the family.
Check out hinamatsuri displays–they are impressive! (And the treats aren’t bad either.)
Rabbit Rabbit!
Time to say goodbye to February and “March” into spring!
Bad puns aside, saying “rabbit rabbit” at the start of the month is an old tradition to bring good fortune–it was even practiced by President Roosevelt.
So let your hare down and enjoy the new month!
Today is Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day.
We ❤️our furry friends and dog biscuits are a great way to show them!
What’s not to like? (Unless you had an older relative who tricked you into eating them as a child.)
Toss your canine friend a treat and be part of the celebration!
Doing the same thing every day can get boring–and we may switch to “autopilot” as we go about our day. But what if you noticed something new?
Make the “same old thing” a little different today.

Emotions are often compared to the weather. They can be stormy and leave us worn out. Moments of happiness warm us like a sunny day. And, like the weather, emotions come and go.
What is your weather like today?
