just wanted to pass this along

 I receive updates each week from the Prayer Circle for Animals. I always take a moment to read them and meditate for a moment on the plight of animals. Sometimes they can be hard to read.

This one, however, is a joy and I wanted to share it with you. The part that I will take away today is this: We must remind ourselves that every single act and thought of love is never lost.  It becomes a permanent part of the blossoming world of peace we are creating.

Prayer Circle for Animals Weekly Update
Please share with friends!!
Our prayers for all animals continue to circle the earth, to
uplift humanity's consciousness, and to bless the animals themselves.
 Thank you for joining people around the world who are praying this
prayer in many different languages but all with the same love:
"COMPASSION ENCIRCLES THE EARTH FOR ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE

More evidence that our prayers and actions are working to liberate animals--San Diego, California, elementary schools began serving Meatless Monday meals to all students this fall.  While they had been offering vegetarian options in previous years, they decided to go completely meatless (though not vegan) on every Monday.

On our watch, we continue to see horrific violence against animals.  At the same time, we are witnessing amazing progress.  Part of our work involves caring for ourselves so that we do not burn out and give up in despair.  I have seen this happen to numerous people who cared so much that they could no longer deal with the endless reports of animal suffering.

We must remind ourselves that every single act and thought of love is never lost.  It becomes a permanent part of the blossoming world of peace we are creating.  So let us celebrate this great news of Meatless Mondays in San Diego.  Find some ways this week to celebrate: 1. who you are; 2. the great love you are bringing to this world; and 3. all the beauty and freedom that has come from your actions and prayers and those of the many people who embrace all beings with compassion and love.

Thank you, as always, for your prayers, your vision, and your faithful lovingkindness.  

With Love, peace, and gratitude from Judy; and from Will, Madeleine, and the Circle of Compassion team.
