A burst of joyful colors for you

This is a photo shared by my son of an area on the West Coast in California named Carmel by the sea. Once you walk past the amazing poppy fields, you can stroll on the beach, swim in the ocean among the sea creature's and enjoy am amazing view . Bring your surfboard, your paddle boards, your binoculars enjoy the view . Have a picnic on the beach. Enjoy your special day.🤗

Dedicated to all of you my  family, friends and watchers who are mom's of human or non-human children (fur babies are children too and part of families under the care of their human moms) with sincere appreciation for your encouragement along the way and most of all your continued friendship. Happy Mother's day everyone. I love you all   

Please reach out to the homeless women of this world many are mom's too and do not get to celebrate on their special day as sadly they are no longer in touch with their families. Many have pets as their only family. They are their companions and protectors. They give them comfort. Many give up their own food to feed their non-human children, so for this reason it is always very thoughtful to keep some dog or cat treats in your car to hand out when reaching out to those in need. Please remember the pets as well as the women. Anything you can do to help will be greatly appreciated.  Please reach out to brighten their day and as often as you can, even a smile can help lift the spirits of those left behind and forgotten on such a special day and throughout the year. Let us together  remember them in our own way.  

There are many ways to help with donations of cash or purchasing meal tickets and items sold in thrift stores or online through various organizations.  Donating items that can be sold to your local homeless shelter or charitable organizations that deal with the homeless including those supporting your local animal shelters.  Volunteering your time is always a great way to help as well.

Suggestions for the homeless shelters for woman in addition to cash and household items that can be sold or purchased.

Undergarments, shoes and sandals, coats, hats, elastic waist jean and pants, t-shirts, sweaters, blankets etc..feminine products, those tiny bottles you get from hotels that have shampoos and toothpastes and lotions. Sun screen and hats are very much appreciated during the hot months to protect from skin cancers. Energy bars etc...cookies and crackers for snacks,  fast food coupons they can use as they eat mostly at those fast food places.

Suggestions for the animal shelters in addition to donating money or the purchase of items sold.

Animal food and products unopened.  Coupons they can use to purchase food and products for the animals. Brand new or clean used blankets or large towels, pet beds and feeding stations and cat perches anything you would buy for your own pets that have been cleaned, toys etc....they can all use.  They will truly appreciate the kindness for their animals. You can make a difference.
