In general, there’s no reason for us to fear change. It can bring about personal growth, new opportunities and a level of happiness you never even knew you could achieve. Go to that pottery class, start learning a new language, don’t be scared to travel alone and start baking that sourdough even if you’re terrified of how it will turn out. We can never grow without forcing ourselves out of our comfort zones.
#22 My Japanese Grandma Who Survived World War 2
She has since passed away but had a wild life. Crazy to think about everything she saw and went through when the bombs were dropped. She survived fire bombs by going underground beneath her school. I miss her everyday!

#24 Desi Showed Up In My Yard, Eating Garbage And Licking Dry Plates Of Old Cat Food
When a rough Arizona summer hit, she decided she’d had enough of being outside, and trusted me to bring her in. I gave her a good brushing, cleaned her long fur with some dry shampoo, and there was a completely different cat underneath all the grime and tangles. Two years later, she purrs when I feed her, but still enjoys the outdoors viewed through a window, from her perch.

#36 From Abandoned At A Cemetery To Thriving! Meet Anubis
I’m a photographer and went out 3 hours away from where I stay to go take pictures! I stopped at a couple parks to photograph and then came across a cemetery. I went down the road and found this puppy on the dirt road. No houses were around just a cemetery and so I assumed he was dumped and the condition he was in showed he was not cared for. He followed me around as I called out to hear if there was a person around. No answer, so I took him home.
He has changed my world. I brought him home and convinced my Ma to let me keep him. Meet Anubis. My trusty little man, and soul dog. I’ve been out on dirt roads photographing for 11 years and have not come across a puppy! I honestly believe he was sent to me. I was meant to find him, that day I wasn’t wanting to go out til my therapy told me to go out. Grateful is all I can say.
