A little self care guide to get you through the season 💛 fall is my favorite season of the year! I love that it’s cold but not too cold. The changing colors of the leaves. The fresh cool air in the morning. Love the warm smells of pumpkin and cinnamon. Hope you can find ways to care for yourself amidst the busy-ness.

“Imagine our human race is at the entrance of a long, dark tunnel, at the end of which is a little star. That’s hope. Isn’t it good sitting at the mouth of the tunnel, wishing that hope would come to us?”
– Jane Goodall, 1934-2025

With great sadness, the Jane Goodall Institute confirmed this morning the passing of the organization’s founder, Dr. Jane Goodall, age 91 who died peacefully in her sleep while in Los Angeles, CA for her speaking tour in the United States.

Dr. Goodall’s life and work not only made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, but also of humankind and the environments we all share. She inspired curiosity, hope and compassion in countless people around the world, and paved the way for many others — particularly young people who gave her hope for the future.

In 1960 Dr. Goodall established the longest running wild chimpanzee study in Gombe National Park, Tanzania which continues to this day. She pioneered and sustained the Jane Goodall Institute’s community-centered conservation initiatives across the chimpanzee range for over four decades. Her legacy includes the creation of JGI’s international environmental and humanitarian youth program Roots & Shoots, which is actively driving change in 75 countries and counting around the world.

The Jane Goodall Institute is incredibly grateful to all our supporters, partners, and friends, especially during this difficult time. To add a personal remembrance of Dr. Goodall and continue her legacy for future generations, please visit JaneGoodall.org/RememberingJane

A group from the Neptune corporate office spent an afternoon volunteering with Feeding South Florida, and helped sort 9,542 pounds of food, which will provide more than 8,000 meals for those in need.
September is Month, to raise awareness about food insecurity and mobilize communities to take action against hunger in the United States. Organizations like Feeding South Florida coordinate efforts to educate the public, encourage donations and volunteerism, and advocate for policy changes to address the root causes of hunger and poverty. We're so honored to be part of this effort.

In "Shrinking," the Apple TV+ dramedy, seasoned therapist Paul (Harrison Ford) tells his grieving colleague, "Pick a piece of music. Something sad. Just feel your feelings. Takes about 15 minutes."
Paul's go-to exercise is one that therapists and mental health professionals recommend to some clients as a viable coping mechanism. The strategy is to set aside 15 minutes of the day to immerse oneself in sadness — or anxiety, grief, or worry, as needed.
"People may suppress or deny their emotions because they don't feel like they have the time or space to deal with them," says TelepsychHealth founder Dr. Bruce Bassi.
"Having a set timeframe to tend to emotional needs can be beneficial because it allows individuals to prioritize their emotional health, without feeling like it is taking up too much time or interfering with other responsibilities."

The Apple TV+ show looks into a distinctive practice: crying, worrying, or grieving for a set time. Does it work?

Our wish for you: May today, and every day, be filled with love. ❤
