Earlier this year, we featured an extraordinary travel site. The Longest Way Home- a guy traveling the world in search of home - is full of photos, details of daily life overseas, and inspiration galore.

Kennebunkport, ME – Captain Lord Mansion is seeking breast cancer survivors for a complimentary weekend to culminate their signature Dime for Time program. Captain Lord Mansion launched the Dime for Time program on January 1, 2010, pledging a dime for each guest who stays at the Captain Lord Mansion from January 1 - October 31. The Dime for Time funds will be donated to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer awareness and research programs that will help to give breast cancer victims a little more time with loved ones.
“Merci, merci” was the refrain heard when volunteers with Dog Meets World took and printed up pictures for the entire school in Ibo Beach, supported by Haiti Outreach Ministries, along the coast about an hour from Port-au-Prince in Haiti.
