WELCOME!

I've been thinking about creating this blog for a long time. Here it is... I hope you find hope and inspiration here.

I believe that a happy and fulfilling life can be created with surprisingly few elements:

(in no special order)

Eat. Breathe. Move. Laugh. And LOVE.

I really believe that every challenge we face can be turned around by a combination of these five life choices.

I'll post information I find interesting. If it is troubling, I'll suggest ways each of us can make an enightened difference.

I look forward to creating a positive place in cyberspace for all of us.

With love,

Rob Richards

Now THAT'S a HUG!

People in Cali, Colombia, are shocked to see the bond between a large
African lion and a woman who saved it from abuse, involving long,
affectionate kisses and hugs between the pair.

Ana Julia Torres, who runs the Villa Lorena animal shelter in Cali, fed
and nursed Jupiter the African lion back to health years ago after it
was found abused and emaciated in a traveling circus. "It is
amazing to see an animal like that be so sweet and affectionate," said
Torres. "This hug is the most sincere one that I have received in my
life."

Love is universal.
