The bold, beautiful pattern on this caterpillar captured my attention today. The image was taken by my friend and butterfly expert, the extraordinary Suzanne Sczubelek Herel.

As today is the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur (it began last night at sunset), a caterpillar seemed like the perfect metaphor for beginning anew. May this be a good year for us all.

Today’s #OneGoodThing with Mama was a friend’s gorgeous bug! Many thanks to Suzanne for sharing this lovely photo and brightening our day! What was your #OneGoodThing today? Please share in the comments! And remember, kindness is everything!
