You are loved and needed

During the
holidays, it’s easy for some people to feel disconnected or doubt their place
in the world. But there’s something we can learn from dogs wagging their tails
or cats purring, even when life hasn’t been kind to them. They seem to know
deep down that they’re loved, needed, and capable of making a difference just
by being themselves.

This is a
powerful truth for all of us, though sometimes people forget it. Life’s
challenges, disappointments, or feelings of isolation can cloud that awareness.
But like those animals who instinctively trust that brighter moments are always
possible, we, too, are surrounded by opportunities to change things for the
better—not just for ourselves, but for others.

Your
presence matters.

During the holidays, your kindness, a warm smile, a thoughtful gesture, or even
just your company can brighten someone else’s day in ways you might not
realize. Whether it’s reaching out to a lonely neighbour, spending time with
family, or Volunteering for those in need, every action, no matter how small,
ripples outward.

You are
loved and needed.

Holidays remind us of the importance of connection. Someone, somewhere, needs
your presence—your unique energy and love—to feel whole. It could be a close
friend, a stranger you haven’t met yet, or even a pet who looks to you for
comfort and joy.

Life can
change fantastically in an instant.

Just like a wagging tail or a purring cat, you hold the potential to spark joy
and healing. Your actions can help others remember their worth, just as you can
rediscover your own. Together, we make the world warmer, brighter, and
better—not just during the holidays, but all year round.

So, as you
celebrate or reflect on this season, remember that you’re part of something bigger.
You’re not just loved—you’re needed. And by embracing that truth, you can
inspire hope in others and yourself.
