“Travel not to escape life, but to embrace the little miracles along the way.” 🇰🇷🐈

Step into Godabang cat cafe 고다방 홍대 🐱☕️ in Hongdae, and you’re greeted by a whirlwind of soft purrs, tiny paws, and instant smiles. This isn’t just a cafe—it’s a sunny sanctuary where rescued cats reign supreme. Every corner is sparkling clean, every sunbeam a perfect napping spot, and every cat is treated like royalty.

I found myself lingering, coffee in hand, as I got lost in playful paws and gentle nuzzles. Each furry 🌦️💞 resident has a story—streets once cold and lonely, nights of rain and hunger—but here, they bask in warmth, love, and second chances.

One little whiskered angel stole my heart, rolling over for belly rubs 😻💓 and even accepting a tiny kiss on their nose. Moments like this? Pure magic.

Godabang is more than a 🐈‍⬛✨ cafe—it’s a celebration of kindness, a haven for hope, and a must-visit stop on your Seoul adventures. I’ll be back, not just for the cuddles, but to support their mission and sprinkle a little more love in the lives of these amazing cats.

“Courage is not the absence of fear—it’s caring for those who cannot speak for themselves.” 🐾💛

Losing Olympia, Seoul and Thirteen 🧡😽 in a single month brought a pain I first felt at a young age—and now it resurfaces, triple-fold, as I relive it. The trauma is cumulative, and even now, I carry vestiges of those moments: when I close my eyes, I can still see where they clung to life in their final breaths. It’s a sorrow that never fully leaves, but it has strengthened my resolve.

Despite four years of training, life experience, and being a devoted cat mom 🐱❤️, I’ve become even more vigilant. Studying feline medicine, which informs canine care too, means understanding breeds, behavior, nutrition, and parasitology—knowledge I use to protect and nurture.

I remember my first dog, Commander 🐶, from childhood—his memory still touches my heart, and I miss him dearly. My first visit to a dog cafe in Seoul led me to I Joa Pet Park in Itaewon, a sanctuary for abandoned pets, an academy for learning, and a training hub. Spending time with my poodle buddy, I realized how much joy comes from nurturing and guiding future furbabies, giving them love, care, and big paws.

Whether it’s adopting, learning, or simply spending time with pets, this journey combines rescue, education, and companionship in the heart of Seoul 🏙️🐕💕

"Joy is loud when it purrs, and abundance is real when it's shared." 🧡😽

Sookie persuaded the cat parents to grant a little Noche Buena independence-and the PetMarra kitten feast followed. Sassenach, Ramyun, Boston, and Valentino were all slurping in unison.

“Losing them doesn’t mean losing the love we shared; it means carrying it differently, in every heartbeat, memory, and quiet moment.” 🧡😽🤍🕊️

I am using yoga nidra and meditation to support my nervous system through grieving three losses at once—Olympia, Seoul, and Thirteen. This isn’t laziness or avoidance. It’s a survival response.

Grief is metabolically expensive. Acute loss floods the body with stress hormones. After sustained overload, my system needs rest and deep restoration. Yoga nidra provides that repair state—time to process, release, and integrate when awake activity alone is too heavy.

The losses were cumulative. Losing one furbaby destabilizes; losing three in a short span overwhelms my brain’s ability to process, decide, or remain alert. The cumulative trauma weighs heavily, and guided rest reduces input when I cannot integrate more pain.

These were not “just pets.” Neurologically, they were attachment figures. When multiple bonds are severed, the brain responds with withdrawal—slowed movement, hypersomnia, disengagement.

Intrusive images surface—moments, faces, final paws in mine. Each death brought grief and trauma. Yoga nidra allows me to hold these vestiges gently, letting my body rest while my mind metabolizes them safely.

I spent a month providing round-the-clock care. I walked, meditated, worked out, kept routines—but when I lay down, the vestiges returned. Now, yoga nidra guides me through this pause, letting me restore while staying present.

Even with vigilance, heightened senses, and protective routines, this pain overwhelms the strongest armor. I lost my role as caregiver—not just the pets, but the purpose, routines, and attention. Yoga nidra fills this vacuum temporarily, while wakeful routines keep me grounded.

I’ll know if grief is tipping into concern if rest becomes numbing, or if appetite, focus, and motivation fail to return. For now, this is stabilization, not regression.

Yoga nidra is my body saying: “I can’t hold this yet—let me survive, restore, and process first.”

🕊️ In loving memory of Olympia, Seoul, and Thirteen
Forever in my heart 🧡😽🤍

“Tradition should never require suffering—true celebration is measured by how we protect the most vulnerable.” 🐾✨🎆

A complete ban on fireworks may be ideal—from an animal welfare, public health, and environmental standpoint. However, ideals must coexist with social reality. In many places, fireworks remain legal, culturally protected, and widely anticipated. Harm reduction, therefore, becomes the more immediately effective lens.

If fireworks are to be used, limited, controlled use matters.

Restricting fireworks to a short, defined window—such as one hour—reduces prolonged stress in animals, minimizes sensory overload, and allows pet parents and caregivers to prepare appropriately. Duration is often more damaging than intensity; unpredictability stretched over hours is what escalates panic.

Equally important is the type of fireworks allowed. Quiet or low-decibel, ground-based, and human-safe fireworks significantly lower the risk of:
• Animal flight responses and injury
• Pediatric and bystander trauma
• Fire hazards and air pollution
• Emergency room surges from burns, blast injuries, and smoke inhalation

Public safety and animal welfare intersect here. Emergency systems are strained not by celebration itself, but by uncontrolled, prolonged, and high-risk behavior.

From a Fear Free and societal perspective, this is not about moral policing—it is about collective regulation. Communities function best when individual expression is balanced with shared responsibility.

New beginnings should not overwhelm the most vulnerable—children, animals, the elderly, and emergency responders.
Celebration, when bounded by time, intention, and safety, becomes communal—not harmful.

In that space, culture is honored, fear is managed, and both humans and animals are given the chance to enter the new year with less trauma and more care.

“Grief is the price we pay for love.” — Queen Elizabeth II 🕊️

December brought an unimaginable pain. In a single month, I lost three of my precious furbabies—Olympia, Seoul, and Thirteen 🧡😽🤍 Seven Furr The World by Seven Grant. Each was a rescue, each with unknown lineage and medical history, yet each received the best care and love I could provide. And still, I feel I failed them as a mother.

I wrestle daily with the what-ifs and whys. Despite being Fear Free Level 3 certified, accumulating thousands of hours of continuing professional development (CPDs), and nearly four years in veterinary education, nothing compares to the lessons of real-life experience. Even with extensive knowledge of behavioral medicine, stress-free handling, and preventive care, veterinary interventions are bound by timing, clinical thresholds, and the unpredictability of each patient.

As veterinarians and caretakers, we rely on evidence-based approaches: recognizing early signs of dehydration, stress, or organ dysfunction; calculating accurate dosages; and implementing Fear Free handling to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS). Yet, practical application in critical moments is often the greatest challenge.

Every day, I reflect and pray for more I could have done—better monitoring, earlier intervention, or more precise handling. Maternal instinct and professional training intersect as I continue to care for the furbabies still relying on me, and even stray cats who need basic sustenance and reassurance. The pain of losing them is unexplainable, deep, and unfamiliar, but it is also a teacher in vigilance, empathy, and continual learning.

Even with advanced certifications, CPDs, and training, nothing replaces hands-on experience, keen observation, and timely intervention. Every pet teaches us vigilance, empathy, and the importance of combining science with heart.

In Loving Memory of Thirteen 🤍🕊️
March 24, 2024 – December 26, 2025

She was never loud.
She was never demanding.
But she was always there.

Thirteen, my precious girl—
my Persian with the softest fur and the quietest way of loving.
Sweet, a little standoffish, never asking for attention,
yet somehow always close, always mine.

You didn’t fill the room with noise.
You filled it with presence—
with dignity, calm,
and a love that never needed to be seen to be real.

You were Olympia’s only true playmate and friend.
With Seoul, you played hide and seek—
gentle games, shared trust, unspoken understanding.
As a white cat, you were often the target of bullying,
and instinctively I knew my role was to protect you,
especially from the rough male ginger bullies.

You held a special place in my heart
because you claimed space in your own way—
your own litter, your own quiet corner—
where you could simply be yourself,
undisturbed, unapologetic, whole.

After the emergency vet night,
I asked you to hold on—just until Christmas.
You were already grieving Olympia and Seoul,
carrying loss far heavier than your small body should have borne.
Still, you stayed.
You stayed for me.
Round the clock, you did not leave.

On December 26 at 2:27 PM, you finally let go.
And I felt your last breath,
your last warmth,
your last love in my arms.
I may carry trauma from that moment,
but I also carry certainty—
you did not leave alone,
and you were deeply, fiercely loved.

You taught me that love doesn’t have to be loud to be deep.
That connection can live in silence,
in stillness,
in simply being present.

I miss you in the smallest moments—
in pauses, quiet corners,
and the spaces where you used to rest,
pretending you didn’t need me,
while always knowing you did.

You were never just a cat.
You were a soul entrusted to me
for a short, sacred time.
And loving you was one of the purest things
I will ever do.

So now, my sweet Thirteen,
I am letting you go—
not because love has ended,
but because it is strong enough to release.

Rest now.
You are forever carried,
forever loved,
forever remembered. 🤍
