A tiny neonatal kitten found her way into my life in rural Greece this week, and I couldn't say no. She weighs almost nothing, needs feeding every two hours, and has already stolen my heart completely. This week I was supposed to share the story of how I left the city and moved alone to my stone cottage in the Greek countryside. Instead, life had other plans. Meet Minnie Maou! This is her story, and mine. Living alone in my 50s in rural Greece, small moments like this one remind me why I made the choice to slow down and live simply. Sometimes the most unexpected things arrive and change everything. If this video touched you, please leave Mini Maou your love in the comments. She's still very small and fragile and every good thought counts.

Two years ago I left everything behind and moved to this cottage with my cats.
I was going to tell you that story this week and then she arrived.
I didn't plan for her. Someone else found her and somehow she ended up in my hands.
I had gone to the pet shop later than I meant to that day.
A small decision that changed everything.
Time to make more formula for Mini Mao. That's her name.
My ginger cat Mickey Mao got his name the same way.
I nursed him too when he was just about a month old.
He looked just like a little mouse. Mini does too, doesn't she?
Today is the day I'm picking her up but it's still morning and I need to keep my hands busy.
And my mind, actually. So I'm trying a new recipe.
A red lentil bread. It didn't turn out the way I hoped.
But my brother liked it so thankfully nothing wasted.
I really wanted to share Mini's story with you.
How she came into my life so unexpectedly and how much she already means to me.
She's still so small and fragile and I am doing everything I possibly can for her.
If you could send her your love, your prayers, your good energy,
whatever you believe in, I would be so grateful.
Thank you for being here.
Mini? Mini Mao?
