Dive into the heartwarming story of a homeless man and a homeless cat who find solace in each other's company. This touching tale is more than just a story; it's a gateway for meaningful conversations about homelessness, loneliness, and the incredible bond between humans and animals. Perfect for teachers and families, this book serves as a compassionate starting point for discussions on how we can better support both homeless individuals and animals.

Alley Cat Allies will never back down when cats need us. We don't compromise on cats' lives, and we know humane approaches aren't just morally sound; they're effective based on evidence, unlike killing. We will continue to champion cats as community members, promote and spread #TNR and other lifesaving programs, and support advocates worldwide who do the important legwork to help cats and their communities. If you haven't checked it out yet, our new Community Resource Tool is here to help you connect with critical local resources for cats--and with your fellow advocates! Just a few clicks is all it takes: gethelp.alleycat.org.

After putting some clean time together, some of us have a tendency to forget what our most important priority is. Once a week or less we say, "I've gotta get to a meeting tonight. It's been.. " We've been caught up in other things, important for sure, but no more so than our continued participation in Narcotics Anonymous. It happens gradually. We get jobs. We reunite with our families. We're raising children, the dog is sick, or we're going to school at night. The house needs to be cleaned. The lawn needs to be mowed. We have to work late. We're tired. There's a good show at the theater tonight. And all of a sudden, we notice that we haven't called our sponsor, been to a meeting, spoken to a newcomer, or even talked to God in quite a while. What do we do at this point? Well, we either renew our commitment to our recovery, or we continue being too busy to recover until something happens and our lives become unmanageable. Quite a choice! Our best bet is to put more of our energy into maintaining the foundation of recovery on which our lives are built. That foundation makes everything else possible, and it will surely crumble if we get too busy with everything else. Just for today: I can't afford to be too busy to recover. I will do something today that sustains my recovery. We are here to help.

#d is both a philosophy and and action mandate. I have to tell you the story of how I came to know Goddess Matula through my writing friend Genius Turner As a writer on Medium - one of my greatest pleasures is connecting with unique folks who have a hot take fueled by kindness and the #PartnershipParadigm. That’s how I came to connect with Genius. He’s a talented writer and intuitive manifester - making the most of a challenging origin to rise up and spread the parsed out truth of The Genius Mindset: His specialty? Cutting through the BS of the modern world with an intersectional scalpel, and a style all his own. He’s also a popular writer on Quora and a psycho-spiritual weaver who doesn’t pull any punches. He’s also very real. Goddess Matula is his talent manager. And lest you be distracted by her physical beauty and his too-good-to-be-true name, let me tell you. These folks are as magical as they appear on first glimpse. Who am I? A hippie earthy 48 year old intellectual with poetic tendencies. And yet, the energetic support I get from these folks is 100% real. So when Goddess talks, I listen. I guarantee she’s more than a pretty face. When Genius writes, I read it. The truth he spits goes deep into the real. And that’s where we meet. In the real. After all the BS of the world today, is that not what you’re craving? I sure am. So take note when Goddess speaks. It’s deep and beautiful all at once. Let’s take care of each other. Let’s recognize the spiritual plyometrics of the game. Nothing else will do. #onelove #appreciation #real

Hey PDX HSP Community, During this month of the colonial holiday of Thanksgiving, we are thinking about how the work of PDX HSP interrelates with calls for repair from the Indigenous Land Back movement. So for our next community event we are grateful to be hosting Jillene Joseph, enrolled member of the Gros Ventre or Aaniiih people, and board member of the Future Generations Collaborative (FGC). We are very excited that Jillene will be hosting us at and sharing about Barbie’s Village, a land back transfer of the former Laurelhurst Presbyterian Church building and the property it sits on. FGC uses the building as a community hub and is developing a tiny home village on the property for houseless Native parents with small children. Where: Barbie’s Village, 935 NE 33rd Ave When: Tuesday, Nov. 26, 7:00–8:30 pm If you plan to attend, please click the link in our bio to RSVP . Light snacks and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided. Feel free to bring outside food. This will be a masks optional event. We ask that you stay home if you are experiencing any abnormal symptoms.
