ANIMAL Connection and COMPASSION and CAUSES OF THE HEART
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
- M. Gandhi
We each have causes of the heart and political passions--issues and sociel concerns that move us to DO something to make a positive difference, to speak up for those unable to do so, or to offer comfort or assistance where we can.
We don't all share the same causes and passions. I suspect the particular passions each of us has is ours for a particular reason, and that it is part of our sacred journey in this lifetime to respond on behalf of those passions and causes close to our hear.
My causes of the heart include compassion for animals and the environment, all of nature's beauty we've been blessed with.
It can be the little things one does that make a big difference. At some point, there's a tipping point ...
Take your own coffee mug or re-usable water bottle to meetings. Keep a favorite in your car. You'll reduce wasted cups in landfills, AND have a nice warm coffee cup to use as well. And some of like me have coffee mugs that MATCH with what we're wearing.
Whatever your passions are, I hope you will be inspired to co-create a safer, more compassionate, and just place to live. We each make a difference. Thank you.

When someone asks me to contribute to a cause that provides funding for 'research,' I want to know what kind of research. In many cases, 'research' is not a compassionate choice for animals. And there ARE alternatives, options that honor my heart.
