Thanks for the advice! It seems this blog is quickly gaining in popularity. I can’t even walk through campus without hearing people talk about it! Looks like I’m going to have some competition as your #1 fan.

Saving them all breaks down to us together (however possible w/money,time,availability to foster) saving the one. It feels sickly overwhelming to walk through the shelter thinking you are alone in caring. If we can focus on being thankful when that one walks out to freedom (or that one finally doesn’t have to come in, in the first place), hope takes hold and the light at the end of the tunnel begins to brighten.

Only an attorney would have an advice poster with legal disclaimers. What would Lucy do?

Awww I like that. Santa Clause for adults. How sweet. I so wanted to make this event. I need plenty of advice! However I was already doing charitable work painting bowls for this years empty bowl project. See you soon

This was a great event and day. I’m sure that Mambo Berry raised enough money to at least save one full pet — not just 53% of a pet…but what 53% would you choose?! Looking forward to hearing what the total is.

You are quite the topic of conversation around town. You are like Santa Claus for adults — bringing smiles and hope to everyone

I love the blog and just wanted to let you know that your reference to my movie was very apt. No matter what the problem is, there are a handful of simple things anyone can do to turn their life around and jump-start things. They are, in no particular order:

– Drop everything that matters in your life and go to Jamaica
– Get a strapping young Winston Shakespeare (his name can be something other than this of course, but mileage on life-changing opportunities with him naturally varies based on said name)
– Take a personal inventory of your life (preferably to some pretty great Bob Marley or in a pinch some Shaggy/Meshell)
– Find a balance in your life
– Break the rules to free your heart
– Be awesome
– Be named Stella if possible, or in a pinch Angela Bassett

That’ll be two nickels. My lawyers will be in touch.
