“Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.” ― Albert Schweitzer

It’s 12  : 08 PM on day 2033 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Revelation 10,  learn one new thing – The oldest LIVING tree is called “Methuselah” and is 4,765 years old. This tree is nearly 1,000 years older than any other bristlecone alive today. It lives in a secret location in the White Mountain range of eastern California.- have breakfast  and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign –raised  $5 271  only $979  more to raise by 10 Jan 2017  (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far   ).

A few weeks ago I decided that today I would start Meat-Free Fridays – Meat-Free Fridays is like Meat-Free Mondays except now I’m also going to do it on Fridays – because I believe we must be more conscious in the way that we consume. If you would like to participate in Meat-Free Monday and Meat-Free Friday all you have to do is abstain from meat every Monday and Friday (I will not know whether you did or didn’t you’re not accountable to me or anyone else).
