Life is a spiritual journey. I will share with you what comes across my path and I would hope that you will do the same. The stories we share are our hope and inspiration. Our shares are the footpaths of our journey. We need to tell our stories. They are for us, the heart to heart connection, the bond of spirit, the rise of consciousness, the merging into the universe. When we share our stories with others, we share the flame of our love. -- Shobi |

the world. " Red Nose Response Groups and Response Teams and (Click above)

We hospital/caring clowns are skilled at dealing with suffering/death/dying and knowing how to approach people. The clowning we do is called caring clowning as it appeals directly to the heart. It is not coping humor, it is hoping humor. It is a gentle, caring, unconditional kind of clowning. It is this humor we caring clowns bring to "Worlds of Hurt."
