Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time I knew a little girl who was interested in everything and CARED about the WHOLE WORLD! She followed her busy mother around and watched and listened to everything everyone said and she got involved in everything too. This little girl took care of sick and injured animals when other little girls were just taking care of dolls. Even when she was just a bit of a thing she stood up and said what she thought when someone treated an animal badly. She didn’t just stand up and speak for animals, she spoke for her Mother Earth too, and she DID things, BIG things, to make the planet better and to help other people understand why this was important and RIGHT!

The little girl grew into an amazing and beautiful young woman who just kept doing more and more for the world and who became more and more creative about how she went about doing it. Then one day the little girl had a terrible accident, but as it turned out, it wasn’t such an accident after all, and though it was terrible in many ways, because she and all her family and friends suffered, it was wonderful because it gave her the opportunity to show people how to overcome even the things that seem the most impossible to master. It also galvanized her friends to carry her torch for kindness to other species, for balance and for global harmony even higher and farther.

Ivy, every day you are rebuilding and mastering the pathways of your brain, one of the most complicated environments we humans know about in our current state of development. If one individual can do that, then surely we as a planetary community can rebuild and restore our environmental pathways to work in harmony and develop into something better and more beautiful still!

As always you are a leader. And as always you had to do it YOUR way, even when it rattled the rest of us. You GO girl!

Love you all to pieces,
