Inspiration! Roundup: Being a Helper, Straw Swarms, and So Much Beauty

Don't Look For Helpers, BE a Helper

You know that Mister Rogers quote people like to pass around in the bad times, that we should always look for the helpers? Well, this article makes a pretty strong argument that this advice was meant for children, not adults. Adults are supposed to BE the helpers. Let's step up, adults!

Bunches of Things on the Isle of Man

Thomas Jackson was invited to the Isle of Man to create work using human-made objects organized or clustered in the manner of animals and insects. Here is his straw swarm:

Beautiful and Heartbreaking

I get a lot of inspiration from Swiss Miss, a blogger who shares beautiful and interesting things. She recently shared that she has been slowing down in order to spend more time with her father, who is in the hospital, in this short post:

It’s been quiet on here. I realize. I spent the past few days wit

The Joy of Doing Something That Once Seemed Impossible

Last weekend I went backpacking along the Sunshine Coast Trail, a beautiful hut-to-hut trail along the coast of BC. It was a short jaunt of three days and two nights (just a 25km section of the 180km trail), and it was also a pretty big deal.

In the past, I wouldn't have even considered doing something like this. I had zero gear, zero know-how, and thought all hiking was a painful uphill slog. I didn't think I could do it and therefore I had no interest in trying. Why would I want to do a torturous Stairmaster in the woods, after all?

Then I started dating an outdoorsy person and slowly realized that I am actually capable of doing some of this stuff. We went for hikes, and eventually, overnight trips into the wilderness. It turned out I actually enjoyed walking around in the woods! Even with 30 pounds of stuff strapped to my back!

A PSA to Parents, From Your Friends Who Don't Have Kids

I recently had a conversation with me about a friend of mine who is also a single, non-child-having person about how much we love our friends' kids.

We aren't biased or anything, but our friends clearly have the cutest, smartest, most promising kids in the whole dang world. We love the opportunities we have to be a part of their lives, spoil them like aunties, and join in our friends' family activities.

Of course, we also love when we get some alone time with our friends and can have adult conversations, but we know that won't be every time and we are VERY okay with that!

Why am I sharing these not-so-hot takes about the fact that we aren't jerks to our friends' kids? Because we also discussed how it sometimes feels like our friends think that we resent the fact that their kids' existence has had an impact on their lives. We don't!

FRIENDS WITH KIDS: PLEASE STOP APOLOGIZING FOR YOUR KIDS' EXISTENCE!

Your friends get it!

We get that our conversation…
