London's Pet Food Drive

Welcome 2015!

Our year ended on a high note! And we hope to continue to inspire others to help fight animal abuse.

My first blog post for the new year, is a recap of my daughter London's, pet food drive. It has become an annual event at her elementary school.

This new year, London and I have decided to dedicate more of our time and efforts, to inspiring children to be aware and become more involved in helping our animal friends.

Learning by example is key. And showing compassion and kindness with our actions AND words, will open the door to a brighter future for animals.

Please help by following us here on our blog, and learning how you too, can make the world a kinder and safer place for our children and for our animals.

Broken Hearts: An Anti-Bullying Campaign

Today, I want to talk about a topic that has been, well, talked about a lot-- Bullying! Bullying is never okay. In any form and to any living being. It is NEVER okay. We know this, as adults. But, do we really follow what our heart is telling us to do? Do we help others when they are being picked on or laughed at, or cyber bullied? Do we teach our children that we should never bully others, and to stand up to a bully, even if it means telling an adult? I had an experience with London being bullied at the start of the school year in her new school. This had never happed before, and let me tell you, I was furious! London immediately told me when I picked her up from school that day, and my husband and I talked with her teacher that evening. And we talked about how it made her feel, and how wrong those two girls were for doing that to her. Her amazing teacher, to her credit, handled the situation rapidly and with the concern and anger of, not only a teacher,...

Knowing We Must Say Goodbye

Wishing you were somehow here again Knowing we must say goodbye Try to forgive, teach me to live Give me the strength to try -From The Phantom of the Opera A few short weeks ago, my best friend had to say goodbye to her precious cat of twenty one years. As you can image, it was one of the hardest things she has ever had to do. It was also one of the kindest gifts she could have given to her little Simba. We all know what a difficult and incredibly sad decision this is to make. We question that decision long after our little angel is at rest. We talk to our friends and loves ones about him or her, and if we are lucky, we have that one person who totally gets how we are feeling, and tries to ease our pain by letting us reminisce and remember. If we're very lucky, we have that one friend. Here are a few suggestions that might help you when confronted with a friend who needs you to just listen, and be a tr...
