Paradisiac Beauty

Paradisiac Beauty:  A place of ideal beauty or loveliness, relating to or befitting Paradise.

   I want to introduce you to a lovely women named Valerie. 

   Valerie has a blog called Paradisic Beauty, where she writes about the plight of abused
animals all over the world. (www.paradisicbeauty.wordpress.com)


   Val shows us through her written word, how we can begin to change our way of thinking
about animal abuse. She even shows us products and foods that are organic and cruelty free.

   Her topics are diverse. From animal testing in labs, to beautiful wolves being caught and dying in traps, to barbaric "sports" like horse wrangling. And here at home, she writes about the daily abuse that numerous pets endure.
She writes about the ones that no one sees.....she is their voice!

 All of these horrific things and many others, go on each and every day, all over the world.
And in EACH instance, the animals die a slow and horribly painful death.
Val shows us real ways we can incorporate cruelty-free living into our own lives.

I think it is honorable and admirable, that Val is taking a stand and showing us the REAL face of animal cruelty. We need more bloggers like her!
I for one, was very inspired by her and started my own "animal rights" blog, too!

 When I first read Paradisiac Beauty, I felt like I had found a kindered spirit! And when I got to know her a little more...well, I knew I had!!


 Valerie and her family are from Paris, France. She told me that it was her dream to live here in the United States. She and her family now live in Phoenix, Arizona. 
Besides being a gorgeous French women, Val is a wife, a mother to a beautiful daughter, one incredibly cute Golden Retriever and three cats!!

Val also has an ETSY shop, called Paws On The Sand. 
Check out the stunning jewelry she has for sale at www.etsy.com/shop/PawsOnTheSand
I would love for you to check out Val's blog and her Etsy shop!
It's heart warming to know, that women from all over the world feel the same about
the way our animals are treated, AND are trying in their own ways, to do something positive to change things!
Maybe someday, our world will be a "place of ideal beauty and loveliness" for ALL living beings. 
I believe, that's what Val is hoping for too!

Broken Hearts: An Anti-Bullying Campaign

  Today, I want to talk about a topic that has been, well, talked about a lot-- Bullying! Bullying is never okay. In any form and to any living being. It is NEVER okay. We know this, as adults. But, do we really follow what our heart is telling us to do? Do we help others when they are being picked on or laughed at, or cyber bullied? Do we teach our children that we should never bully others, and to stand up to a bully, even if it means telling an adult? I had an experience with London being bullied at the start of the school year in her new school. This had never happed before, and let me tell you,  I was furious! London immediately told me when I picked her up from school that day, and my husband and I talked with her teacher that evening. And we talked about how it made her feel, and how wrong those two girls were for doing that to her. Her amazing teacher, to her credit, handled the situation rapidly and with the concern and anger of, not only a teacher,...

Frozen Hearts, Forgotten Lives: The Peril Of Pets In Winter

  Keeping Your Pets Safe: Why They Belong Inside During Freezing Weather When temperatures drop, your pets rely on you to protect them from the cold. Leaving them outside in freezing conditions is not only dangerous for their health—it can also lead to serious legal consequences. Here’s why keeping your pets indoors during winter isn’t just a kindness; it’s a responsibility. 1. Freezing Temperatures Are Life-Threatening Dogs and cats are susceptible to frostbite, hypothermia, and other cold-related injuries. Contrary to popular belief, fur is not enough to keep them warm. Frostbite can damage their ears, tails, and paws, while hypothermia can cause their organs to shut down. Even hardy breeds like Huskies need proper shelter and care to survive extreme conditions. 2. IT'S THE LAW In many states and cities, it’s illegal to leave pets outside in extreme weather. If a neighbor sees your dog or cat left in the cold, they can—and often will—call animal control, the Humane Society, or ev...

Why Empathy for Animals Builds a Kinder World: A Parent’s Guide to Teaching Compassion

  Why Empathy for Animals Builds a Kinder World: A Parent’s Guide to Teaching Compassion Empathy is a cornerstone of a kinder, more understanding world. As parents, one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the ability to see and respect the emotions of others. While teaching empathy can sometimes feel abstract, animals provide a natural, relatable way to help children develop this vital skill. From the loyal wag of a dog’s tail to the cautious flutter of a bird’s wings, animals communicate feelings in ways even the youngest children can understand. By fostering empathy for animals, we open the door for our children to expand their compassion to people and the world around them. In this post, we’ll explore why empathy for animals matters, how it translates to kindness in broader contexts, and simple, parent-friendly activities to nurture this value at home.
