Dr. Jena Questen

Today I am grateful I woke up. For the internet. For the sunrise. For birds. And for the people who support me in my life.

When I was a kid I used to think I could control the weather with my mind. Silly, unsocialized, awkward, weird little kid that I was. I was adopted by German immigrants who fully believed children should be seen not heard. So I was strongly discouraged against any kind of social interactions. But we had animals. And they taught me love, boundaries and how to laugh and have fun.

I am not too sure about controlling the weather, but I am pretty sure animals saved my life, and I have much gratitude for that. I think there are lots of people in the world with sometimes little to live for except animals. What a sad world without them would it be!

And for those who don’t get it, that’s ok, more for us!

So were you kind to yourself yesterday? Did you look in the mirror and give yourself some encouragement? There is still time. Do it now. Just look at yourself. Don’t groan and judge yourself harshly. It’s ok. Learn to tune in to the higher vibration of love, peace, ease and forgiveness. Leave behind all those little hurts from yesterday, smile and be the bigger person. Forgive yourself. You got this. And if you can control the weather could you do a little something about this wind?😆

​Thanks for being you, you Animal Loving Angel. Make it the best day ever. Ready? Set, GO!😃✅💜
