Children, Karma and Kindness

Wow, has it really been since last Christmas that I posted here?

I feel an urgency today, to write about the vast number of animal abuse stories I have been reading on facebook!
The amount and degree of cruelty, has definitely increased and worsened! I don't understand why this is happening.
If anything, it should be DECREASING! The attention from all forms of social media and television, really should be having a positive effect on people.....so what's the problem?
Do we not listen, or see, or set examples for our children? I know that we, who are fighting for animal rights, rescuing and teaching, are trying to set a proper example for our kids and for other adults.
I mean, THAT is our intention. So why is it turning on the animals?

Maybe, just maybe, all the attention is bringing forth more attention,,,,more NEGATIVE attention!
This is strictly my own opinion, but I do believe that what we put out into the world (our energy), whether positive or negative, will bring this exact energy right back to us!

Some call it Karma. But, whatever you believe and whatever you call it, it has been proven ( read or watch "The Secret"  http://thesecret.tv ) and you will understand the pure POWER of our thoughts and our actions. The energy we put out into the world, comes right back to us, whether we know it or not!
I will be writing more on this subject in the next few weeks and months, because I believe it is something that needs to be examined, torn apart and put back together.
I think the foundation of our society, lies in what we teach and show our children about kindness, compassion and love.
By being made aware of more positive acts and actions towards animals, maybe we can begin to bring about a change in the ATTENTION. So that only positive action, stories, pictures and videos of the world's animals, our animals.....gets attention. POSITIVITY needs our pictures and videos and stories!
Maybe, if we put more kindness into what we share and give power to...it may begin a chain reaction of kindness. And THAT kind of attention can change the world!

It begins with you, and it continues with our children.

Please comment on whatever you would like to say or add,  and help start a positive chain reaction.
Your comments and opinions are always welcome!
Thank you for stopping by!

WHAT IS COMPASSION SCHOOL?

  I get this question a lot. What is Compassion School? It’s not just another program or curriculum—it’s a movement. Compassion School is a groundbreaking approach to education designed to nurture empathy, kindness, and respect for animals in children from an early age. Imagine a classroom where math, science, and language arts intertwine with lessons on understanding animal emotions, advocating for creatures in need, and recognizing the interconnectedness of all life. That’s Compassion School.   Why Focus on Empathy for Animals?   Children are naturally curious about animals, but that curiosity isn’t always guided toward understanding and respect. Traditional education often overlooks emotional intelligence toward non-human lives. Compassion School fills that gap. Here’s why it matters:    Empathy as a Foundation: Empathy isn’t just "being nice"—it’s a critical life skill. Studies show that children who practice empathy toward animals develop stronger...

Mirrors Of Kindness

  Mirrors of Kindness: How Adult Role Models Shape Our Empathy     Empathy isn’t just taught—it’s absorbed. The quiet way adults treated a crying child, a stray animal, or a struggling stranger imprinted on us forever.   Children are empathy sponges. When a parent:   - Stopped to help a turtle cross the road...   - Spoke gently to a fearful dog...   - Listened deeply to a lonely neighbor...   ...they weren’t just being kind. They were modeling neural blueprints for compassion. Mirror neurons in our brains fire when we witness empathy, literally shaping how we relate to pain.    But what if your models were flawed?  The good news: Empathy is learnable at any age. Start by recalling one positive example:   "My grandpop never passed a homeless person without offering food. He taught me: *Kindness requires action.*      Identify one empathetic adult from your past. What did they mod...
