If ever there was a day that we all stand united with our hearts extended and our compassion on full display, today is THAT day!

R.T. Fitch’s life has been anything but ordinary. Straight out of high school, he joined the U.S. Air Force Band during the Vietnam era, and while stationed in Hawaii, he spent weekends at Sea Life Park training penguins, sea lions, and whales. His path through life has taken many unexpected turns—including more than a few lessons in love—until meeting his wife, Terry, brought a lasting partnership and a shared passion for animals. Over the course of his adult career, R.T. worked internationally in multiple countries, gaining a broad, global perspective that colors both his worldview and his writing. Now rooted in Texas, he and Terry live on a small farm surrounded by four-legged companions with paws, claws, and hooves. Together, they have devoted years to equine rescue and wild horse protection. An ordained volunteer chaplain and professional Santa Claus for a local historical society—with Terry by his side as Mrs. Claus—R.T. brings warmth, wisdom, and joy to every season. His work reflects a life of service, wonder, and connection to both people and animals. He is the author of Straight from the Horse’s Heart, a moving collection of true rescue stories and spiritual reflections, and Fangs of Light, a supernatural tale steeped in symbolic and metaphorical storytelling. The first in a planned trilogy, Fangs of Light blends myth and mystery to explore themes of identity, redemption, and the power of empathy—offering readers not only suspense and intrigue but a deeper look at the light and shadow within us all.


Thanks so much for this positive reminder and message. God bless.

Brilliant and timely, thanks RT.
I’ve been making a point of calling anyone I know who lives alone (many are older men, and Veterans) to check in and let them know they really aren’t alone. It’s also important to let younger folks know this isn’t an old-timer virus, in my state the bump in positive cases yesterday (24) was in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s age groups. We really are all in this together. Let’s let our better natures shine and perhaps cast away some of the darkness we all feel.

Today’s update shows teenagers, folks in their 70s and 80s as well. The assumption younger people are somehow safer is not holding up, so please everyone be proactive… and kind!

We Were Made For These Times
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
My friends, do not lose heart. We were made for these times. I have heard from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world now. Ours is a time of almost daily astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people.
You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking. Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is that we were made for these times. Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement.

Thank you RT for sharing that heartfelt video! So profound & inspiring to all of us! You always keep us grounded & focused on the important issues at hand. Helping our neighbors & the elderly, family, for anything they may need. Even offering to help someone to feed their animals, or pick up groceries & medications. We’ll get thru this, no doubt! Your sincere video gives us positive hope, when so many of us are trying not to feel frantic & stressed! 🙈❤🐴❤
