    In this episode, I explore change, consider how we approach it and the difference between things we have no control over and things we can affect.

    World scale changes will affect us, maybe not today or even tomorrow, but soon. While we can’t completely control much of anything, we can make an impact through what we do. This includes the climate.

    As always, I encourage you to go spend some time with your alpacas and enjoy the moment.
