Description

Amber Naslund, aka Amber Cadabra, and I have been friends for a long time - long in Internet years, of course.

As you can imagine, I was thrilled when she agreed to be the 5th guest on Living Your Passion.

If you follow Amber on Facebook, it would be hard to miss her PASSION: Dogs, specifically rescued dogs and "changing perception people have about pit bulls and bully-type breeds."

We had so much fun during this episode. Lots of laughing. That's what it's all about, right?
