As I sit down to write this blog I feel moved to say something about the children and animals who are currently starving and dying. In a world with so many riches and wealth I ask myself how can we let this happen? We must and can do better. Please help them. You can donate money to food banks, animal welfare organizations, or to zoos; you can volunteer your time at an animal shelter or you can call your elected officials and voice your opinions. Now is not the time to be silent. You may think that a small act does not make a difference. It does. All acts add up. Even if we can change one life for the better, we have made a choice, and taken a positive step forward. Thank you.
