FREEDOM


Approach slowly, gently. These horses are wild, like the kind you meet in dreams. Perfectly at home in their environment, the Carmargue in southern France, they know something about living in seemingly harsh conditions. They know where to find sustenance and where the hidden streams flow. They know how and when to run.

But they're not running now. They're curious. Cautiously open. These are freedom's gifts—to navigate using your own compass and travel between what you know and what you'd like to find out.

In what ways are you free today?

SWEETNESS


Reach in. Take some from every bag. There will still be more. Enough for everyone in fact.

Would you like a pink one? Or maybe a yellow. Go ahead. They are all delicious, each one a surprise waiting to happen. Can you hear the wrappers crinkling as you open your sweet treat? Can you feel the sweetness melt into you, softening all that you are?

This day, may you find sweetness all around you. At work, at home, on the street, in your car, wherever you are and wherever you go, whoever you meet: Sweet!
