Like the African proverb “It takes a village to raise a child,” it takes a village to raise a pet, too. Pet ownership involves much more than just feeding and walking them. It requires a holistic approach that includes training, socialization, health care and emotional well-being. A supportive community can play a crucial role in raising a pet by offering a diverse set of skills, resources and advocations that contribute to their comprehensive care.

Pet ownership builds social capital, fosters community bonds, and enhances the well-being of both pets and owners through shared knowledge and support.

Communities of old were created and bound by a collective ethos that included a common ethnicity and geography, as well as shared religious beliefs and traditions. Gathering around the fire combined the needs of survival with stories and song that ignited generations with spiritual sustenance.

Modern life frays our bonds, leading to isolation. Rekindle community by joining groups, appreciating others, and spending time with loved ones to mend relationships and connect deeply.

Individuals can protect waterways through cleanups, reducing pollution, supporting ecosystems, and improving outdoor spaces for community enjoyment.

The dietary and lifestyle habits of Blue Zone regions contribute to longevity, including plant-based diets, physical activity, and vibrant social networks.

Road trips have long been the crown jewel of American vacations, and it’s no surprise, given the country’s obsession with car culture. The 1956 Interstate Highway System made road trips more convenient and accessible than ever before, and the following year, Jack Kerouac’s On the Road compelled free-spirited youth to travel by almost any wheeled means necessary. But after the global pandemic, the chrome has worn off of many road trip luxuries the travelers of yesteryear took for granted.

If you've ever felt there was something holding you back in life, ruining your plans and stopping you from being who you want to be, you were right.

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive,” says the Dalai Lama, who celebrates his 89th birthday this month.
