Holly (Holly Dilatush, Holly Dilatush-Guthrie) making the world a better place... share. smile. walk. recycle. learn. share... "Nurture the child within yourself. Nurture every child (of any age) that you encounter ~ anywhere, everywhere, always." "Live with intention. Share inside-out smiles, inspire hope, seek awe and nurture in nature."
