There are all sorts of tiny ones living their live There are all sorts of tiny ones living their lives among us, quietly, softly. And if we stop to notice, it can help us to live a little softer, too.

I hope you find many miracles this fall to gently touch your heart♥️🍁

This fall, maybe we all can be lazy for the earth! This fall, maybe we all can be lazy for the earth! Leave the leaves! 🍁🍂🍁

“Say, girl, what are you even talking about now?”
 
Instead of raking and bagging up every leaf, let them stay. 

Let them stay in flower beds or make a new flower bed with your leaves!

Let them be mulch for your trees!

Let them lightly pile up in corners for critters and pollinators to survive the winter🩷🦋🐝🐞🐰🩷

How do you do this and avoid the wrath of the neighbors? Maybe let them know what you’re doing and why. Maybe they’ll join in, too! (Or not!)

“And again, WHY am I doing this?”

Fallen leaves are nature’s way of taking care of itself. Nutrients for the soil and plants, places to lay eggs for butterflies, and little leafy blankets for wildlife…it’s all connected!

If you have lots of leaves and don’t know where to start, leave a note in the comments and I’ll try my best to share some ideas🩷🩷🩷

It’s fall and I love y’all!💛🧡♥️

I read Reason For Hope by Dr. Jane Goodall earlier I read Reason For Hope by Dr. Jane Goodall earlier this year. I actually listened through audiobooks which was even better because I could hear her gentle, English voice sharing her wisdom with me.

Jane was a kindred spirit to animals and nature…a pure soul. That’s why I was so drawn to her: her kindness, her sincerity, her bravery to love in a world that doesn’t always love us back. 

But she is so loved. And we can show that love through our actions just like she did.

Pollinators need us. Tiny sparrows need us. Fluffy street dogs need us. 

I am envisioning her in a paradise surrounded by all the animals she loved, welcomed in with open arms (and paws!). I hope her childhood dog is snuggled up right beside her🩷🐶 I hope she feels how much she mattered. I hope to be more like her.

Love you, Dr. Goodall🩷🩷🩷

I’ve collected more Jane quotes on my website here:

https://katstano.com/jane-goodall/
Dr. Jane Goodall spoke with gentleness, cared with Dr. Jane Goodall spoke with gentleness, cared with curiosity, and led with love. 

She gave us the example. And I hope to always follow it.🩷🩷🩷

My heart is so sad to hear of the passing of Dr. J My heart is so sad to hear of the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall, a hero for animals, nature, and people🩷🩷🩷

I am also grateful for everything she taught us. Her love for all creatures, her passion for conservation, her wholehearted voice of hope inspired—and will continue to inspire—so many🩷🦋🌈

She was one of my heroes. And if she’s one of yours, too, I challenge us all to do something for animals or nature today in her memory. This can be as easy as leaving some leaves in your yard for butterflies and bees to winter in or giving your pup a kiss on the head.

If you want to know more about how Dr. Goodall has inspired me in my life, feel free to check out a post I wrote about her earlier this year:

Fall is for reflecting and nurturing our souls🍁🩷🍂 Fall is for reflecting and nurturing our souls🍁🩷🍂

This year, I’m concentrating on living the beautiful moments in the present and trying to take a pause (though we know it’s not easy, y’all!) from the heaviness of things even for a brief time. 

I hope you get out in nature and enjoy the beauty. And if you need some ideas on what to actually do, check out my post here: https://katstano.com/fall-date-night-ideas/
