Happy Third Birthday ABH

A Re-Cap Of Year 3

Happy Third Birthday ABH – My animal awareness blog – A Beating Heart is three years old today. I launched it on February 14, 2013 – a nod to the day of hearts and love and in recognition of the known fact that every sentient being has “A Beating Heart”. Never question that: We love – They love. We feel – They feel. We grieve – They grieve. We play – They play. We cry – They Cry and We suffer – They suffer!  Humanity has no singular claim to an emotional, spiritual and physical existence. 

What Is It About Humans That Makes Us So Ignorant

What Is It About Humans That Makes Us So Ignorant

Why Is This Okay

What Is It About Humans That Makes Us So Ignorant – We have been this way since the dawn of time. We consume – destroy – wage war – torture – plunder – denigrate others – waste – cheat and lie. We crave power, wealth and fame. We are never happy. We ignore poverty – cruelty – torture – the violations of rights and laws – suffering and destruction.

These Things Hurt

We Know – But Humans Pretend Not To!

These Things Hurt – If you asked most people if they would intentionally hurt an animal they would say “no”. People claim to “love animals”. When you ask them how they can love animals – when they are happily smacking their lips while munching on a steak or chicken pot pie – they immediately mention their dog Pepper or their cat Sam. They become defensive and point out that you have no right to judge them.

ABH – Inspirational Sayings – 2016 – If there is one thing that I know – it’s that all people who love animals have their hearts nicked or broken every day. But then we focus on the task at hand – which is creating awareness to help them – and get back to doing the job that stirs our passions and helps to correct human wrongs!

A Beating Heart – Inspiration Sayings – is for those days when we need a reminder of all that is wise, profound and still beautiful in the world. I have always loved “profundities” and I hope these give you a lift on a day when you need a touch of magic or need to be inspired to get involved with an issue near and dear to your heart.

Find Your North Star

Find Your North Star

A Way Forward For Humanity

Find Your North Star – historically the North Star was used for navigation – finding a way forward in good times or bad. A beacon of  light on a dark night and a sign of hope that all was not lost. We have just started our collective journey through 2016. People all around the world celebrate the passing of an old year with its victories and its woes and the start of a bright, new year with its promise of a better world – and kinder outcomes to the challenges of our troubled global village. With that in mind I have written some thoughts on how we can follow our global and individual North Stars.
