The Universe is Abundant


People are generous.
Strangers are friends.
Bad news isn't the order of the day.

In less than two months
a little girl
draws enough
love toward her
to get
her
service
dog.

Thank you.

We met our goal!

Amen.

AMEN! Rojo has really been practicing his "yelling game," lots of amens each and every night as he practices. Now instead of rolling my eyes, I'll just imagine he's giving thanks for Riley's service dog! What will the dogs name be? Carrie is a really nice name, don't you think? No pressure.

Oh My God! SO happy for you! You don't know me - I chanced upon your blog once through Abraham-Hicks but it's been SUCH a pleasure reading your posts & sharing your joys & family! You SO deserve this! All the best to you and Riley girl & Seth & Todd... may you always feel more joy than your heart can hold.

Shoutin' out a big slobbery "WOOF!" over here. (oops, scared the cats. Oh well...)

Carrie, you don't want the dog named after you; what if s/he does something naughty (or nasty!)?? ;-)

Re: the dog, my mind is blown, and the words aren't quite coming yet, but they will. Must process. I will tell you this much, it will be months before we lay our eyes on our new little friend. We have to wait until October to get into a training class! I'll keep you posted every step of the way. Also I am awaiting the most recent list of contributors (should be here soon) and I will be sending thank you notes out as soon as we get the list.

Thank you so much to everyone. So many people contributed donations, good thoughts, words of encouragement, etc. All of you got us here, quicker than we could ever have imagined.

We appreciate it more than you will ever know.
