Today, we wanted to update you on Annette and Don’s sweet rescue dog Greta, who is near and dear to Ada’s heart as well. Over the past two years, the three of us have worked together to help Greta feel safe and loved.

If you have talked to us for any length of time, you know that when we find ourselves in challenging situations and relationships, we are big on taking time to let our charged reactions, or in Nonviolent Communication terms our Jackal Language, subside BEFORE we share our truth with others.

We are sitting in our home office today listening to beautiful music, all caught up on our work, with Greta at our feet, thinking of the events of last week. The safety we feel at this moment is quite meaningful, as we know that life can change in an instant. It has for us on past days, and we’re pretty sure you all can relate to that experience.
