An Artist Discovers His Passion For Drawing At Age 58

John Herz found a new passion late in life...age 58 to be exact. For the past 6 years, John has worked as a graphite pencil artist. He never realized he had artistic talent until prompted by his family to take up drawing as a stress reliever. Now, he dedicates his life to his artwork.

He has had great success selling his pencil drawings online and in art galleries throughout New England. His favorite subjects are everyday people he meets on the streets of New York and he hopes to evoke emotion with each one of his paintings.

"I'm a firm believer in encouraging people to do what they love," John advises. " If you have any interest in any art form, go for it! You never know where it will lead you."

He has appeared at the Pottery Barn and Walt Whitman Shops for a Pop-Up art show. Part of the proceeds from the new, never before seen pieces, will benefit United Veterans Beacon House, shelters for Veterans.

Non-Profit Matches Veterans with Therapy Dogs for Life Changing Support

** In celebration of "National Pets For Vets Day", we wanted to share this heart warming story about how a service dog is helping a Vet with PTSD **

Brett Simon was a veteran K9 police officer who went on to work as a contractor for the Department of the Army as a bomb dog handler. However, after serving two tours in Iraq, he returned home suffering from PTSD.

Led by his Mom, Shari Duval, who had worked for veteran's charities near their home in Jacksonville Florida, Brett's family undertook two years of research to find a solution to help Brett and others with this condition.

Their research focused on canine assistance for PTSD. Ultimately, they started a non-profit organization. K9s For Warriors, dedicated to providing service dogs to warriors suffering from post-traumatic stress and/or traumatic brain injury as a result of their military service (post 9/11).

The Lonesome Boy And The Blonde Haired Angel

When Alex Fischetti thinks back to when he was 9, he realizes how he was different from other kids. "Some people can say that you are odd," he remembers. "Some people can say that you are a little out there." Diagnosed back then with Asperger's Syndrome, a condition that made it hard for him look people in the eye and interact normally, Alex missed many parties and other social events and often felt isolated. But if you look at him today, you see a completely different person.

Now 27, Alex has learned to deal with his condition with the help of some very special people along the way. He works a regular job, has written a personal memoir of his experiences, and has now become the self-described "social butterfly" of Ridgefield, Connecticut.
