Updating a few things

Just a month ago I wrote here about Seth Owen, an openly gay high school student who left his parent's house after they required him to participate in their church activities, which included an anti-gay counseling.  One of Seth's teachers, Jane Martin, had set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for Seth's college tuition.  Jane had set a goal of $20, 000 but as of today, they have raised $127,521 and the fund continues to grow.  We'll keep you posted, but this is indeed a happy ending.  You can still donate to this (in any amount) by going to https://www.gofundme.com/hoyaseth

I have written here a few times about Barn Sanctuary and their founder Dan McKernan.  Since I last wrote, they have opened their doors to visitors.  Right now, tours are on Saturdays only and run about 75 minutes.  Reservations are required.  Barn Sanctuary has made a huge difference in the lives of a number of animals and I can't wait to finally find time to go visit there myself.  If you haven't read my previous blog entries, you might want to go right to the source and check out their website at https://www.barnsanctuary.org/
 
While I write another blog (about kindness) every single day, this one is only Monday through Friday.  Recently I was looking back and noticed some missing entries.  It seems many have been deleted in the past few years.  There is no way to retrieve them since I didn't back them up with any other source.  Going forward, I am keeping a digital copy of all my blogs, just in case any should be erased again.
 
Thanks for checking out my words in this place.  Please feel free to tell your friends and also to leave comments.
