Unlikely Brothers by John Prendergast and Michael Mattocks - Official Bo...
Last night, I went to an informational meeting on becoming a Foster and/or Foster-Adopt parent. I met so many kind and wonderful people, and I am seriously considering helping some of the kids here in Marin. From what I learned, there are 80-100 kids in here in Marin County that are in 'the system' at any one time....and they all need love, support, and encouragement. My next step is to go through the required training. I will keep you posted as I go through this process!
Today, I read about this book, Unlikely Brothers, by John Prendergast...human rights activist and expert on Africa....and Big Brother in the Big Bros./Big Sister program. I have met him a few times, and he is my HERO. Anyway, I just ordered his book on my Kindle. I will write a 'book report' when I finish it so I can share with you what I learned.
Watch the video. It made me cry...
Order the book, and read it with me!

San Francisco girl
I wake up ever day......and look out over the bay.......
Some nights, I hear the fog horn...
My mind drifts and I think about the rest of the world's lovelorn...
The seals bark down in the water far below....
I look down at all the sparkles on the sea from my private window...
The raccoons skitter around the woods at night...
If they're hungry, they'll get into a sucker punch fight..
The moon rises high above the Marin Headlands...
In the morning, the fish are food for the diving pelicans....
I love it here, and have found peace for once in my life...
No chaos, no drama, no uninvited strife.....
In the mornings I listen to Beethoven on Pandora...
I may be in Northern California, but it may as well be Bora Bora
I will always wander the earth to see the world's best...
But San Francisco is where I will always come back to lay my head to rest.....
