Taking the plunge

@Maggie @CheerBear 🙂 (that's meant to be a happy cat!)

I've probably missed you CB, but, keep your chin up. You are super amazing doing what you do here and in the big bad world. Keep on sparklin! 🙂

Maggie, I hope you are doing okay with all the fires, smoke and drama. It's always nice to stop in here and see the support and kindness you have for everyone. You definitely have a heart of gold.

You did good @CheerBear . Cats sounds amazing, as does the movie theatre on your own with popcorn and tears.

Trying counts for everything @CheerBear. I did something on Sunday. It took me hours to get the courage. I paced, I cried, and hours later I did it, with a pounding heart and fear. But I did it. And I’ll do it again, so I do know what today means.

Neither of us are ready to give up, it’s girl power. 💪💪💪💪

@Gazza75 Thankyou. You are amazing, don’t forget that.

Hi @Maggie

Thanks - we do what we can and maybe just watching the news and checking on the internet and caring about it helps - I don't know - I will donate when I can - right now I am taking care of myself by staying in th house away from the smoke and not getting sick with asthma

But pray - yes - how can we know how our prayers help - I am sure they do and in unexpected ways we may never know - I have had dramatic answers to prayers at different times of my life - certainly enough to know that prayer works

Hi @Zoe7

I had to think what animal pouches and wraps could be and then realised that that donation would be unique and wonderful - people may not think of such things and for the injured and homeless marsupials they would be invalubale - esp the very young ones

I would not have thought of it - I gather they are there for the comfort of animals that might still be in the pouch but have been orphaned - how lonely and scared they must be - and have no concept of how this has happened or what has happened

As they say - there is always someone worse off - I had not thought of orphaned wild-life - thanks for the shout-out Zoe

Unique ways to help

Thanks for the link @Appleblossom

The picture certainly shows the more far-reaching effects of the fires -

The way the aor-currents circulate around Port Phillip Bay cause the smoke, smog and fog to accumulate there - and with the rain and other things Monday was a bleak start to the week after a weekend of chaos - likely to be affected

All these connections help - we do not need to be so isolated during times of national disaster - just caring and sharing help people

They help me

@Owlunar There are many, many people around Australia sewing, knitting, crocheting pouches, bird nests, slings etc. for the rescued and homeless animals. If you checkout Animal Rescue Craft Guild or Heist Jewellery on Facebook they have all the details of what is needed, patterns and links to drop off points.

@Gazza75 @Maggie @CheerBear

Sharing and Caring does help.

@Owlunar @Zoe7

Yes Many People are rallying.
