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!

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...
