For those who don’t know me, my name is Harry, and mum and dad adopted me from a shelter 15 years ago. I was only one then and a … More From Rescue to Retirement
There’s so much change in the air. Can you feel it? Whether it’s a change of season or something even bigger, sometimes I feel like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, caught up in that whirlwind.

“Celebrate endings for they precede new beginnings.” What a year of change it’s been and it continues. So much has happened since we returned from our big road trip.

It continually amazes me how the Universe brings us what we put out there.

What was my word? … More Cleansing, Celebrating and Choosing Love

Time is flying by so fast lately. The days, weeks and months feel like they’re blurring into one.

“A birthday is just the first day of another 365 journey around the sun.” And so our road trip continues as I celebrate my birthday and give thanks for all the blessings in my life, big and small.
