Wild Encounters

In honor of the full moon tonight we travelled to the  PA Wolf Sanctuary. 

Did you know that wolves like hot dogs? Well they love them.

We got up close and personal with 5 different wolf packs and got to experience what life in a pack is really like. 

The caretakers were so knowledgable and it's clear how passionate they are about these amazing creatures. We learned so many things I never knew about wolves. For one thing, they don't howl at the moon :) 

I highly recommend visiting if you get a chance. It's rare to be so close to any wild animal let alone a wolf pack. It's also a great way to support the needs of this amazing rescue. 

A Helping Stone

Earlier this year we gave a portion of money from my stone effect pendants to help Haiti. This time we are going to be giving a portion from our Stone effect bracelets to our favorite charity: Compassion International.  

We sponsor a child from India named Rubi and we just adore her. My husband (then boyfriend) and I became sponsors back when we were just highschoolers. We were at a concert and they gave a call out into the crowd to those who felt moved to help a less fortunate child, and we just felt moved to answer that call. These last seven  years have been a true blessing to us, being able to write to Rubi and get to know her as she has grown up into a passionate young lady.

So every year Compassion allows their sponsors to donate money into a pool that they use to buy all of the children Christmas gifts, and that is where we are donating this years money. You can visit Compassion's website if you are interested in sponsoring a child of your own:
