“We’re all working together; that’s the secret.” — Sam Walton
This month I wanted to include the above photo of my very good friends Joan Brusco and Darlene Foster because they are people I’ve had the pleasure to work with as well.
It’s been one year since Joan and I founded the non-profit animal rights group R.O.A.R: https://respectouranimalsrights.wordpress.com/
And Darlene and I have worked creatively together. Not only has she designed my two book covers, but it was six years ago that I modeled for some of her extraordinary photographs, which can be seen in her website in the Fine Art section under “Galleries.” http://www.darlenefoster.com/
It’s such a blessing to be creative with people you truly love! ❤
