Podcast Episode #25 - Choice to Make a Difference

Episode # 25 of Xtraordinary Living is out. The topic is Choice to Make a Difference. I interview Cheryl Weatherford founder of A Passion for Paws Rescue, a certified non-profit dedicated to saving the lives of Akitas and other large breeds that have lost hope of finding a new home while awaiting death.

In our 25th episode, you will hear:
-- How, even in Cheryl's early childhood, dogs played a role in her life
-- What business and entrepreneurial skills she brought to forming the organization
-- How the death of her only son, Paxton, at 33 years old, propelled her into defining her life vision and purpose
-- Ways to turn grief into fulfilling action, and why it's imperative to do so
-- Why she chose the name "A Passion for Paws"
-- What are some of the ways people get involved with helping the dogs: sponsors; foster homes; and adopters
-- How the families also benefit by having a dog, from children learning responsibility to seeing unconditional love at its best
-- And much more!

In this episode Cheryl shares why and how she made the choice to lead an extraordinary life. Her belief is . . . "part of living is giving back to the community." Through A Passion for Paws, she not only accomplishes helping the animals, but also she honors her son. Enjoy this podcast dedicated to choosing to make a difference!
