You succeeded in turning Dorothy into a Super Hero, Sam! How I wish all Totos could find a home. Congrats on your first-place win! Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you Carolyn! In her own simple way, Dorothy did become a heroine, and a leader, as she accepted her gifts and giftedness on her way to Oz. It is a remarkable parable. And how I wish all Toto's could find a home. Have heard during the pandemic the shelters are almost empty. Dreams do come true in the oddest of situations! Blessings and hugs dear friend!

All Toto's find a home - that is my kind of hero (or heroine!) Wonderous, magical, inspiring..

Thank you Gershon! Agreed! Here's Toto (meaning all) riding in a Toyota with a heroine, a scarecrow, a tin man and a lion with heart, courage and brains top down outrunning tornadoes!

Wow, I'd surely love to see this happen, Sam. You've turned Dorothy into quite a superhero. Maybe we can get her to run for president? Hugs, Carolyn

Me too! For me Dorothy (meaning gift of God) was a reluctant heroine in the beginning but ultimately embraced her gift of leadership through love! Thank you for your visit Carolyn and lovely words! All the best.
