Hope! Because Sometimes We Need Some Help: another Wake Robin Botanicals and Dandelioness Herbals collaboration

"Wake Robin Botanicals & Dandelioness Herbals have been working hard to collect some videos of inspiration & laughter. It took many grueling hours to vet all the videos that came our way! :) May this help with some giggles, hope & inspiration when you may be feeling overwhelmed or sad. Enjoy!"

This is in *no way* pressure to feel happy when you're down in the dumps.  Sometimes we just want to be sad, grumpy, depressed, frustrated, irritable, etc, and these are all a part of the full range of human emotions.  However these blog posts are for the times when we're feeling a bit stagnant and wanna shift our mood, or when we just wanna watch cute kitty/penguin videos and add a bit of "YES!!"-ness in our day! Feel free to post more suggestions below in the comments.  Enjoy!

I also feel inspired when I see dancing videos (especially people dancing together, in flashmobs and such)!

Furze/Gorse on the West Coast of Ireland.  Furze/Gorse is "good for what ails you" and it's also said that "Kissing's out of fashion when the furze is out of bloom."  (Note: Furze is *always* in bloom)  I love this plant's hopefull, vibrant, golden radiance, especially for gloomy, rainy days or anytime I'm feeling under the weather.  More info here.
