Cozy isn't just for us to buddle up in winter, it's also for animals in springtime to go on their whimsical way. 

Like a butterfly fluttering hither and thither from petal to tree branch, a sense of softness and serenity is inherent in the nature around us, we just need to be attune to it. We can be as graceful and soft as a butterfly drifting along a peaceful springtime air, only if we want to. We live in a world where our attention is constantly being moved from one thing to another, our focus can't stay in one place because it's always being pulled in different directions. But when we actually find inner peace, it becomes the easiest thing in the world to just exist. Our overall satisfaction increases, and cozy animals are a great way to reduce stress and get to that inner place of centered serenity. Things feel more manageable. Imagine coming home from a long work day, your cat or dog meowing or barking at you just for the sake of some attention. You may think, "I need some alone time, I need some peace and quiet," not realizing that the pet is providing that kind of comfort. We all have things we do to decompress and breath after a long day, so why not make is about cozy, whimsical animals?

  • There's something so wholesome about a field of grass and flowers. I always had an image of an idyllic place that I could go into for a daydream, and it was a sparing field of green, long grass, some small rivulets of running, clear water, and sporadic flowers popping up in different places all over. I think the real inspiration is from Howl's Moving Castle, when Howl shows Sofie the world he made for her, famously known as Sofie's world. Those kinds of films had an immense affect on me as a kid, and I loved to wander around in my own imagination, getting lost and found there and just feeling safe and comfortable. Enjoy this inspiring list of cozy-core animals to bring you a sense of peace, tranquility, serenity, and softness amongst a bustling world.
