What’s Your Happy Dance? Frostie the Goat is a Wayfinder

/in /by

“more happiness and joy, love and friendships, 

kindness and compassion than many animals receive in a lifetime” 

When was the last time you found yourself, “caught in an endless, boundlessly happy frolic”? If you’re still trying to remember … it’s been too long! About a month or so ago, our Capra Team happened upon this Huff Post article from June.

A Tribute to the Late Frostie the Goat,

An Animal Who Actually Taught Us To Be Better People

At Capra (Italian for Goat), we tend to believe we’re privy to all things … goat. But it appears, Frostie the Goat alluded us. (However, we can’t say the same about a Frosty with fries… .) When a GIF of this effervescent kid appeared across our screens with the unfettered gait & gallop of the happiest creature around in spite of his handicap, we swooned.

More, we felt inspired. To reiterate the words from Edgar’s Mission, “the nonprofit farm animal sanctuary that rescued Frostie,”:

“… Frostie’s lesson to me has been this,

to seize every minute of [your] life.”

Life is tough. No matter the decisions we make–good or bad–nor the people we surround ourselves with–good or bad–life will always be tough. Of course we stave-off much difficulty when we opt for the good choices. But, even this leaves no guarantees. So start today. Start now. Find the frolic. Find the very special frolic in your life–in your day–that no one can take away. That no one can steal or touch or tarnish. And if you cannot, create. Create that frolic. If Frostie can do it, so can we all.

Thank you for being a Wayfinder, Frostie.

And thank you for helping to show us the way!

Climate Change & Breakfast.

/in /by

At Capra Strategy, we love ourselves some quality breakfast. That’s one reason why we’re so in love with our local bed & breakfasts. We just finished up work on the Finger Lakes Bed & Breakfast Association (FLBBA) website, and we say this because …

  1. It’s a great website, and
  2. The breakfasts are hot

Actually. Every single bed & breakfast (that’s 40+) in this association cooks a hot, gourmet breakfast to serve guests each morning. With treats like Finger Lakes coffee and other local ingredients, that means starting the day off right for you.

So what about climate change & breakfast?? This article discusses the disruptions our warming earth has on livestock, water, and crops.

It’s a serious matter, and we’re curious what you think. We also think you should … book a FInger Lakes bed & breakfast now … make sure you get a great breakfast soon.

(Search by location, amenities, and last minute availabilities!)

Where Summer Meets Fall: Everyday Flower Arrangements from Martha Stewart

/in /by

It’s end of summer, beginning of fall. In Rochester, NY (where we are), upstaters don’t always love this. … Fret not! Summer into fall is lovely. The final blossoms from flowers mingle with the beginning turn of leaves. It’s that maple-y delicious smell. You know. The sweet and sticky scent you catch while walking by, maybe as twilight turns to ink.

The smell warms you like a Pumpkin Spice Latte. 

At Capra, we say: Bottle that up, & bring it into your home! Especially if you’re feeing blue. Bring some of the lingering summer warmth and the bursting fall foliage into your space. Here are 31 everyday flower arrangements that we love, compliments of Ms. Martha Stewart.

Where do we recommend you buy some of these florals?

Your favorite place, of course! Here are just a few suggestions:

These are just some hot spots. You know your local fav. Maybe it’s around the corner or near the tools & paint brushes! Either way, we’d love to know from who & what.

What did you make?

Send pictures! We’d love to hear from you. Let us know if you want it Pinned, Posted or Tweeted, too.

(And Psst. We’ll let you know if we make any arrangements ourselves.)

Thanks for helping to show us the way!
