Ever had one of those moments when life knocks you completely off balance? Today's episode tells the story of Sparky the parakeet, who suffered the unfortunate fate of being vacuumed up, washed under a faucet, and blow-dried—all in quick succession. Poor Sparky survived but "doesn't sing much anymore" and "just sort of sits there staring at the wall."
Like Sparky, many of us have experienced times when we feel "sucked in, washed up, and blown over" by circumstances beyond our control. These moments can steal our song and leave us feeling lost. What's powerful is that right now, someone around you is likely feeling exactly this way—perhaps hiding behind a brave face while deeply struggling inside. The greatest gift you can offer them is compassion.
