Turn Your Blue Mind On

Hi Everyone... If you have not been to Door County , it is a very lovely place. I saw this ad and certainly thought #BlueMind! :-) It has been many years since I have been there, but I still have very found memories. I remember a very bad rain storm that flooded their mall and we came out and saw a brilliant double rainbow. :-) We didn't get to go to Washington Island as the waters we so choppy, but that just means I'll have to go back another day! :-) It is gorgeous in the fall. Check out the website for all the B&Bs, shops, restaurants, WATER activities etc.

Hi Everyone... Friday, August 3rd from 1-7pm Waukegan Harbor will have a FREE paddling event! Paddles, life vests & canoe trips are provided. In the evening, 5-8pm, a living history of French fur traders and a movie on the beach are some of the fun activities to end a fun day! Check out the link!

Hi Everyone... Check out Boo Bear Baloo (Baloo for short)! He just loved having a #BlueMind soooo much, he said he wanted it inside too! HA! Ah why be in the Texas heat you know! Smart dog! HA! He is Cara Wohr's furbaby and looks like such a fun, loving and sweet dog! :-)

Hi Everyone... I really had not thought about when I wash my car myself where the dirty soapy water would go & how it might harm the planet. I do wonder if all professional car wash places are like this video states??? I guess I won't be washing my car myself anymore! :-)

Hi Everyone... Well dogs & water I tell you! This is another INSPIRING video of a dog named Ricochet who surfs and helps others with disabilities get in the water for their Medicine! :-) There is a documentary " Going the Distance: Journeys of Recovery " with Ian & Ricochet.

Hi Everyone... This is a really tough but AMAZING video to watch! It is soooooo INSPIRING! It is about 30 min long but at about 21 minutes in, Claire talks about her "Earliest Memory of Really Feeling Healthy" and it was when she was 5 yrs old and her dad took her to the Ocean and taught her how to dive and go under water & she said she could hold her breath "forever under there" and she felt "really independent" when she was in the ocean. I have tried to search a bit for more on her and it appears those who helped her with her Youtube channel scammed her even though she did not sign any contract. She is now doing her own Youtube channel and her most recent post on July 7th was about the possibility of getting new lungs. Nothing since then so I'm not sure if she had the surgery or???

Hi Everyone... Look at the fun "Sadifak" is having! :-) She is one of 7 pups who were rescued by Nowzad . Her mother was killed by a bombing in Kabul. She definitely getting her Blue Mind On! :-) Nowzad is an animal rescue founded by British Marine Pen Farthing. While he was in Afghanistan, he rescued a dog he named Nowzad. Pen eventually was able to bring Nowzad back to his home, but then realized there were many soldiers rescuing and bonding with animals who would also love to have these dogs come home with them as well. Of course there were many animals who would love any loving home. Dodo Heroes featured an episode on the Nowzad Shelter recently which is EXCELLENT! Check it out & see how Nowzad was able to assist one of two soldiers who rescued 6 puppies and get them all to to the US to live with him and other veterans! Nowzad has reunited over 1000 dogs & cats with the soldiers who rescued them! :-) The Taliban had banned people from owning dogs, so the...
