Wind out of my sails.....

On this windy day in Lake Havasu I feel that I have had the wind taken out of my sails.  The original direction of my blog has been called into question and I find myself at a loss with how to continue it.  We have been challenged to take our blogs "world-wide" however my blog is solely dedicated to Lake Havasu and my love of this community.  How do I take this blog outside of the place it was designed for? This is a point to ponder........

The power of fear.....

I read something the other day that really resonated with me.  It said "Sometimes the things that you are the most afraid of are the things that make you the happiest."  I do not know who wrote that quote but I wish they were aware that it helped someone....me! That quote has challenged me to try something new that I am afraid of.  I am a little bit of a scaredy cat and am not always willing to try new things. Now I am not saying that I am going to jump out of an airplane anytime soon but I am going to try to challenge myself to try something new that I normally would not have done out of fear.  I challenge you to try something you are afraid of........

Autism Awareness Day.....

Today is World Autism Awareness Day. Please share your support by wearing blue today. Visit https://www.facebook.com/worldautismawarenessday to learn more.

Smile vs. Frown......

There is an old wives tale that says it takes more muscles to frown than to smile.  I am not sure if that is true but I think it is much easier to smile.  I am getting wrinkly around my eyes because I smile so much......I wouldn't change those wrinkles for anything!!!!!  A smile can make a persons entire day better so smile at a stranger, smile at a friend, smile in the mirror!

Furrbabies on the brain.......

I must be in full blown furrbaby mode. Here is another event that I think will be really fun and a good way to show support for our local shelter. 

They have so many animals and are always in need of food and toys.  Please consider donating directly or indirectly by attending this fun event:

Yappy Hour.....

This sounds like a fun event for people with furrbabies and a percentage of the proceeds benefit our local humane society. Stella is too little to go but my other two might like to mingle....

I love charitable cause events.  Anything that combines having fun and helping others is my kind of gig!  Hope to see you and your furrbabies there!

Meet Stella.......

We got a new puppy!!!!! We lost our golden retriever, Tippy, 2 years ago and haven't been ready to move on with a new big dog.  That all changed this past weekend.  Paws of Parker got in 8 beautiful border collie/black lab puppies that were only 5 weeks old.  We couldn't pass up the opportunity to rescue a shelter dog and round out our family once again. Our little dogs hate her right now but I am positive they will all be best friends once she is 10x their size. Hahahaha!  Furrbabies make life so much fuller.

If you are in the market for a new family member please consider adopting from one of our local shelters, there are so many cats and dogs in need of a good home:
