Beautiful Childhood for All #Blog4Peace
As I watched these two best friends walk along a beautiful natural path without any cares in the world except where and how many frogs they might find... it occurs to me that not every child has a clean, safe place to explore.

Who Wouldn't Want to Go to the Circus?! It's August and that means the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey are here in the Bay Area! I don't know who's more excited, me or my kids.
