“Soul-crushing medical debt is not a normal part of life in most other countries. Fear of the debt you may accrue due to an accident is not normal. Why is good health care a privilege when it should be a human right?”

I Lived Abroad For 11 Years. This Is The Thing That Shocked Me Most When I Moved Back To The U.S. "The U.S. is a country many Europeans look at through a critical lens — 'a place to visit, but not to live,' as my German doctor put it."

SCV peeps — Stay safe and dry.

How freeing rivers can help California ease flood risks and revive ecosystems Efforts to restore river floodplains are expanding in California. Making space for water is increasingly seen as a natural solution for floods and droughts.

Rain is coming!
The National Weather Service said in a tweet that the Los Angeles area and the surrounding area will receive no more than an inch of rain in most parts. But the second storm system, projected to hit Tuesday night, brings “much more uncertainty,” the NWS said.

Audrey was nearly sent to slaughter pregnant, but now she has the life we wish for all mothers: she spends her days with her daughters by her side. Help us support our work rescuing animals like this family and send a *virtual* cow hug from Audrey to the moms in your life this : https://bit.ly/3HznXtT

Audrey's story:
On the farm where Audrey lived, she was kept eternally pregnant and had her babies taken away each year. When we found out about her, we were able to stop this cycle and bring her to The Gentle Barn along with her young daughter Truth. Months later, she gave birth to baby Love! While she was so scared at first that she would suffer the same fate at her new home as she had all her life, she has now learned to trust us, and is even letting us give her chin scratches. Her two daughters, who have only known the safety of sanctuary, have become Cow Hug Therapy ambassadors. They lie down and join visitors in meditation, enjoying the calm and cuddles.

The three of them run, play, eat, and meditate every day, and sleep near each other every night. Keeping families connected in this way is one of our greatest joys at The Gentle Barn 💕

Lazy Sunday!

The apricot tree blossoms made it through the snow, rain, and wind. Next week we’ll show you what is coming next!

Beautiful flowering tree! ❤️
