Hi everyone. This is to let you know that I will be leaving Skool. The platform simply does not allow me to create and engage with others in a way that feels professional and effective. Despite repeated attempts to call Skool’s attention to the issues I’ve encountered (which they acknowledge and say others have mentioned) nothing has changed. Especially concerning is the way they expect community owners to use other social media platforms to drive traffic to Skool. I simply don’t have the time or money to set up accounts on, master, and pay for ads on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest (to name just a few) all the while struggling to create content and find members for my Skool community. Anyway, that was a long way to say thank you for your interest in and support of Wild Dialogs. I’ve had some wonderful conversations with each of you and hope you will keep in touch. You can always find me on Substack: https://wilddialogs.substack.com. I wish you all the best.

Nature knocks my socks off! This is a real phenomenon known as “cloud iridescence.” AMAZING: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16uBfj9Eyg/

Why My Heart Belongs to Whales From the amazing author of "Among Whales," Roger Payne. This book changed the way I see these magnificent creatures and the ocean itself. Here is a link to a piece about his extraordinary life: https://wwfwhales.org/news-stories/remembering-dr-roger-payne-a-champion-of-whale-conservation

This mother’s desperate leap to safety will grab you by the throat. Watching the orcas pass the boat I didn’t feel particularly safe either. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUMG97Hjjtd/?igsh=cXNuZnBwN3dmemI1

I am sharing this delightful, touching, and inspiring message from Andrea Gibson and Meg Falley two of my favorite humans. In addition to giving some great advice about how to write a love poem to a homo sapien, they have reminded me that I can write one for my animal family as well. So here is one for Gabby with whom I shared a love filled, 14-year journey. RIP my sweet girl. You are ALWAYS in my heart.. FOR GABBY There was a soul, small and perfectly comfortable in herself, who walked this earth with quiet paws. She taught me these simple lessons: Love yourself. Love the planet and those who share it with you. Love the time you have been given. Never forget - Love is eternal P.S. Please share any poems you've written for your animal family. Happy Valentine's Day dear ones. Jenahttps://www.facebook.com/share/r/1W3xkHN7mK/
