Hi Hilombuhay friends! Ever had one of those moments when you didn’t know what to do but you just did anyway? In our first story this week, a hiker goes into the woods and ends up rescuing a lost dog with nothing but patience and a makeshift leash. Then we’ll take a breath together with a simple mindful breathing exercise. Yes, it’s more powerful than we often realize. Let’s dive in, unwind, and remember that even small gestures of care ripple out in big ways.

✨ This Day’s Good Vibes

Saved by a tripod clip: hiking hero

On a peaceful hike, Jason Hawkins spotted a stray pup far from trails, skittish and alone. He didn’t yell, didn’t rush. He patiently sat beside the dog, whispered kind words, then used his tripod’s clip to make a makeshift leash. With that simple tool he led the dog back to its worried owners, earning more than a million TikTok views for his act of compassion.

Just breathe: take 3 minutes to be here now

In our fast-paced, always-online lives, we forget how good it feels just to exhale. The linked video invites you to sit quietly, take a deep breath in, then a long breath out. Repeat for a few minutes. That pause? That’s a lifeline for your nervous system. So if you can, go watch the breathing exercise after this letter. Shut your phone, lean back, breathe. Let your body relax, let your mind slow. You deserve that reset.
