"The soul is the same in all living creatures,
although the body of each is different."
although the body of each is different."
-Hippocrates
This quote pretty much sums up why I became a vegetarian. I feel so strongly about this that I think I'm going to try to convince Luke that our "favors" at our wedding should be a donation to a charity in the name of each of our guests. The charity that I recently learned about is called The Gentle Barn. I heard about it on The Ellen Show. (favorite part of my morning routine :) ) The Gentle Barn is a farm that was started by two people who felt that animals helped them feel loved, when humans failed to do so when they were children. This charity is amazing. They rescue farm animals and heal them from the awful treatment that they endure, and they bring in children who need healing as well to spend time with the animals. It is truely beautiful. I would love to be a part of this amazing charity.
I think volunteering and giving to those that don't have what we are so blessed to have is an amazing thing.
Do any of you have a favorite charity that you feel strongly about?
