Charleston Breeze – Original Lyrics

Charleston Breeze – Original Song 

(Verse 1) Well, I’m sittin’ on the porch, sweet tea in my hand, Watchin’ Spanish moss sway in the warm sea breeze. Charleston, my darlin’, you’re a Southern dream, Where the river meets the ocean, and time stands still, it seems.

(Chorus) Oh, Charleston breeze, carry me away, To cobblestone streets and magnolia-scented days. With your antebellum mansions and secrets in the pines, I’m dancin’ to the rhythm of your low-country rhymes.

(Verse 2) Down by the Battery, where the waves kiss the shore, I hear the ghosts of pirates and old plantation lore. The sun sinks low, paintin’ the sky in hues of gold, And the shrimp boats come home, their tales left untold.

(Chorus) Oh, Charleston breeze, carry me away, To cobblestone streets and magnolia-scented days. With your antebellum mansions and secrets in the pines, I’m dancin’ to the rhythm of your low-country rhymes.

(Bridge) Moonlight on the marsh, fireflies in flight, Sweetgrass baskets weavin’ stories through the night. Church bells chime, callin’ souls to find their peace, In this old Holy City, where grace and grit never cease.

(Chorus) Oh, Charleston breeze, carry me away, To cobblestone streets and magnolia-scented days. With your antebellum mansions and secrets in the pines, I’m dancin’ to the rhythm of your low-country rhymes.

(Outro) So raise a glass of bourbon, let the fiddles play, In Charleston’s warm embrace, I’ll forever sway. For this ain’t just a city; it’s a soulful melody, And I’ll keep singin’ ’bout Charleston, till eternity.

Global pet care leader Mars releases “Pets Connect Us” report unveiling new research on the power pet ownership has to connect people and communities

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Mars launched its “Pets Connect Us” Report, which leverages new consumer insights to shed light on the future of pet parenthood in the U.S. and Canada. At a time when 24% of people ages 15 and older report feeling very or fairly lonely1, pets not only offer companionship, but also bring us together. Mars’ report explores the positive impact of pets on people and communities, and the unique bonds formed through our mutual affection for our pets. Despite the multitude of benefits to pet parenthood, new global data from the State of Pet Homelessness Project, an initiative by Mars and leading welfare animal welfare experts, estimates that 20% of dogs and cats in the U.S. and Canada are living outdoors as strays or waiting in shelters to be adopted.

“Our latest ‘Pets Connect Us’ report shows a very clear picture: the power of pets in bringing people together is stronger than ever,” says Lisa Campbell, Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Mars Pet Nutrition North America. “With new consumer insights on the increasingly important role pets play in our lives, along with the latest data on the state of pet homelessness across North America, we are better prepared to build on our Purpose of creating a Better World For Pets.”

The “Pets Connect Us” Report’s key findings, based on a survey of pet parents in the U.S. and Canada2 and a survey of the general population in both countries3, include:

Pets Combat Loneliness:

  • Eighty-three percent of adults have communicated or interacted with people they otherwise would have not connected with because of their pet.
  • Seventy-three percent of pet parents have connected with someone from a different generation, culture or racial/ethnic background through mutual affection for their pets.
  • About 80% of pet parents meet neighbors through their pets.
  • More than seven in 10 have formed unexpected friendships as a result.

Pets Enable Connection:

  • About nine in 10 adults say that pets act as conversation starters or ice breakers.
  • Eighty-seven percent of pet parents have an easier time connecting with someone else if they have a pet.
  • Seventy-nine percent of adults say pet parents are kinder and 76% say they are more trustworthy.
  • Eighty-eight percent of pet parents are more likely to “swipe right” on a dating app if a pet is featured in the profile picture.
  • Nearly six in 10 pet parents who are employed talk about their pets often with coworkers.

Pets Build Community:

  • Nine in 10 pet parents agree that pets contribute to a stronger sense of community.
  • Eighty-three percent of pet parents enjoy proactive community support for their pets, including offers from neighbors to help with feeding or walking.
  • Eighty-eight percent of pet parents want more community spaces that facilitate connections between pet lovers.

The power of pets to connect us and build community is undeniable, and yet, there are still nearly 50 million homeless pets in US and Canada. That’s why Mars takes seriously its responsibility to care for 450 million pets and pet parents around the world. A global leader in pet care – spanning comprehensive veterinary care, nutrition, breakthrough programs in diagnostics, wearable health monitoring, DNA testing and pet parent platforms – Mars’ brands are leading on issues that matter to pet parents, like creating more pet-friendly offices through the CESAR® brand’s Workplace Grants and hosting the largest-ever Pet Adoption Weekend. Through its BETTER CITIES FOR PETS™ program, Mars is helping cities be pet-friendly so more people can enjoy the benefits of a life and community with pets. While positive strides have been made, there is still work to be done.

Mars and its family of brands will continue to introduce research and programs designed to further its purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS. Visit BetterCitiesForPets.com/2023report to read the “Pets Connect Us” Report and visit BetterCitiesforPets.com to get involved.

Cat Nearly Crushed at Junkyard Reunited with Owner Thanks to Brother Wolf Animal Rescue

February 29, 2024 by 0 Comments
Read More

 Early last week, an employee at Brother Wolf Animal Rescue, located at 31 Glendale Ave, Asheville, NC, received an alarming message from her partner. While at the junkyard where he works, Sarah Batten’s boyfriend encountered a young cat who leaped into his arms just moments before the car it was using as shelter was scheduled to be crushed!

After completing the rest of his shift with the small cat tucked away in his jacket, Batten’s partner drove to Brother Wolf in the hopes of helping his new feline friend, Lilly, receive any care she needed and to check for a microchip. Staff at Brother Wolf treated Lilly immediately for dehydration before working to ensure she was medically sound overall.

During Lilly’s medical exam, Batten’s boyfriend received a call from his co-workers at the junkyard who had made contact with a man who was frantically searching for his lost cat. It just so happened that this man’s missing cat loved sneaking into cars and had previously made a habit of quietly leaving the house for spontaneous adventures. 

After getting the owner’s contact information, the medical team at Brother Wolf reached out to ask if he would be agreeable to Brother Wolf microchipping, vaccinating, and spaying Lilly. Not only was he grateful to hear that Lilly was okay, but he eagerly and happily agreed to receive the additional medical help at no cost. 

After her spay surgery, Batten and her partner drove Lilly back to her home. “Lilly took a nap the whole way there, and she woke up to the sound of her dad talking to her. You could see the look of relief and happiness on her face when she realized she was home,” Batten said. “Her dad scooped her up, and she nestled right into him.”

Lilly’s owner expressed immense gratitude that Brother Wolf Animal Rescue had stepped up and provided his cat with a safe place to stay as well as the medical attention she needed. He is especially thrilled that Lilly is now microchipped and spayed, though he is hopeful that her wild journey has taught her a valuable lesson about running away from home!

Only 19% of texters have access to professional mental health support, and 25% say they don’t have anyone else to talk to.

Blackbaud places significant importance on providing total wellbeing benefits designed to help employees thrive while they help customers drive impact—this includes supporting the emotional, social, intellectual, physical and financial health of employees and their families. In addition, Blackbaud is educating students on the importance of mental health through the EVERFI® from Blackbaud course “Understanding Mental Wellness,” a free, digital course that introduces students to the topic of mental health and the ways in which they can implement coping strategies.

“Expanding mental health resources internationally will not only help individuals in need but will also foster global resilience, understanding, and empathy,” said Dena Trujillo, CEO at Crisis Text Line. “Thanks to our partnership with Blackbaud, we are building a foundation for a healthier, more compassionate and connected world.”

Blackbaud’s donation will be structured as a multi-year gift to Crisis Text Line to facilitate an ongoing partnership. Blackbaud will engage employees by raising awareness of the resources available to them through Crisis Text Line and by inviting representatives from Crisis Text Line to present to Blackbaud employees as part of team meetings and special events. In addition, Blackbaud will encourage employees to explore the opportunity to volunteer by becoming trained counselors for Crisis Text Line.

This annual gift follows Blackbaud’s donations in previous years to organizations focused on supporting workforce development for underrepresented youth, Big Brothers Big Sisters and Project Drawdown. Learn more about Blackbaud corporate social responsibility at https://csr.blackbaud.com/.
