Welcome to my universe! I have so much to share with you: reviews, causes, personal experiences etc. I want to shine a light on the positive things in life, encourage kindness & praise good works, remaining hopeful that a better tomorrow is always within our reach. My heart belongs to my devoted loving husband & our exceptional 2 sons who, I believe, make this world a better place with their strong minds & tender hearts. They are my inspiration. I write to express not to impress.

Save the Vaquita from Extinction!
It's Endangered Species Day & it's only fitting that attention should be given to the highly endangered Vaquita Porpoise. Vaquita Information:
Smallest porpoise (family that includes dolphins & whales) in the world.
At the time of this video, there was about 100 known members of the species left. As of this week, scientists are reporting around 60 surviving members. Source: Gizmodo
One of the most endangered species in the entire world.
Found in the northern portion of the Gulf of Mexico
Unintentionally get trapped in fishermen nets
Mammals, & must come to the surface for air, so they drown while held captive by these nets. 😢
Shy, elusive & understudied mammals.
If conservation efforts aren't successful, these beautiful creatures will become extinct in the near future. ☹️
Reportedly, only 60 now.
Awareness matters.
Save the Vaquita Dolphins!
Make an important statement. Purchase this shirt at Zazzle.
Hooray to a successful petition to make the Gillnet ban permanent!
