I have had the honor and privilege of loving, receiving unconditional love and caring for two animals that are to me, basically, people. 🙂 These two earth angels came into my life in about 11 and 8 years respectively. Shanti is now 14 years old and the mother of Angel, who is now 8. They were both born in Hollywood California, and the story is quite like a storybook fairy tale. I adopted Shanti at the age of 3 and she has been my constant companion and my beloved soul mate, in the form of a fuzzy critter! She is my love and has been with me through thick and thin! We have climbed many hills in the LA canyons and enjoyed many sunsets together! Angel was born into a litter of 3 and was adopted by my parents. These two puppies have given me and my family such joy, laughs and comfort throughout the years. The two of them are soul mates to each other as well!

Furry animals of all breeds are truly givers of unconditional love and have much to teach us humans, in my humble opinion. I am forever indebted to Shanti and Angel for their sweet licks, happy faces, silly antics and adorable little behaviors that are unique to each of them. I know that many of you reading this would agree with me about the JOY that animals bring us and how the love from a dear animal is so precious and priceless. So many of us are animal lovers and honestly I would have to say that 99.99999999% of my friends, family and acquaintances are pet parents. Are you? 🙂
I feel so lucky and am even more lucky to be able to support a wonderful animal rescue organization in Southern California called the Modjeska Ranch Rescue (MRR). MRR is a non-profit rescue organization based in south Orange County, California and operates as an all-volunteer rescue dedicated to finding great homes for neglected and abandoned animals.
**Due to an overwhelming response so far, the location has been changed to: The Modjeska Park 28891 Modjeska Road
The organization was founded by Russell and Teresa Taylor in 2001. They opened the door of their heart to helping the helpless and ended up opening up their home for abandoned animals. Since 2001 this couple, in tandem with community support, have placed more than 6500 animals into new homes. The success rate of this rescue is amazing.
I will be there with original paintings, limited edition fine art giclées, fine art gifts and more! The event title is “Healing Hearts” and it’s true, adopting a pet heals their hearts and brings us lasting joy, comfort, peace and the unconditional love that we all desire. We will raising funds for this amazing non-profit under a canopy of oak trees surrounded by nature’s beauty. All are welcome and I cordially invite you and your loved ones! Feel free to check out their website to learn more about the Modjeska Ranch Rescue. See you there!
