I am living proof that change is possible!
**
On your left was a conflicted, non-thinking, culturally driven, ‘animal-loving’ follower. I used to always do what everyone else was doing just for the sake of fitting in and being accepted, and for the most part, none of it sat well in my heart.
**
Every fish I caught was met with feelings of heartbreak. I would apologize to the fish (silently of course, I couldn’t let my friends see that side of me) and kept going because ummm, that was “normal.”
**
It wasn’t until I had a friend take me to my first animal sanctuary that I stopped, took the time to think, and actually made the connection of my part in this world and what I could and should be doing in it.

And today you see who I’ve become on the right. I truly believe that we don’t have to live this desensitized, socially conditioned way anymore. There are SO many alternatives to live, love, and teach compassionate choices, and in doing so, I believe that together… We CAN change this world!
