Next time you see a way to donate to RMHC, consider giving a few coins, or more! I have been involved with the Ronald McDonald House Charities since college. I was the philanthropy chair for RMHC in Alpha Delta Pi at UNCW. I am proud to have been an ambassador for them here in Sydney for the last year. Watch this video to see how local communities can help make a difference in the lives of seriously ill children receiving treatment in hospital. RMHC provides a home away from home for their families. It is an amazing charity.

I have been counting down the days until my Baxter Bear gets to be with me here in Bondi Beach, Australia. A lot of you have asked about Baxter on social media. And I haven't wanted to talk about it much because it is so hard. It is a painstaking process and it seems ridiculous. My heart aches when I think about it. Off and on I have been cursing the Aussie quarantine regulations. But I understand why they are in order. Australia is a wondrous place with unique and protected ecosystems and leaders want to keep it that way. The strict conditions are designed to manage biosecurity risks.
