Today's card is the Bison Totem from The Medicine Woman Oracle by Catherine Maillard. After a weekend spent camping with my family—under the stars, by the trees, and near the water—it felt like the perfect reminder from nature itself.
The Bison teaches us about abundance, gratitude, and community. Its message is to honor what we already have, to use resources respectfully, and to give generously of ourselves. By trusting life’s generosity, we open ourselves to a deeper sense of connection and support.
The Bison also invites us into reflection: What abundance already surrounds you? How can you share your gifts with your community? Take a moment today to breathe into gratitude and to reaffirm your trust in life’s provision.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
