Thank you for remembering we are all connected—not just to our pets and human relatables. The global mess we’re in is the outward expression of humanity’s disconnect from our empathetic animal selves. Please be vegan. Not just for the sake of goats. But for all our sake.

The Lobster Who Ran for Help
Thanks to the smarts of this lobster on death row in a French market, the acquatic innocent is now free thanks to Emanuelle. A woman with exceptional reverence for the crustacean caught in the net of human disconnect, ignorance, and greed. On the surface, an insignificant lobster. Inside the shell—bought for $160 EUROS, about […]
‘Greatfull’ Animal I Am when…
In nature, I tune into individuals of plant, animal, and insect species. Sometimes, my sensory experience is so unexpected, so awe inspiring that I cannot feel anything less than ‘greatful’. First, I feel the expected burst of love within my heart connecting us; this is essential in my animal communication sessions. Then, the real magic […]
Communicating with Insect Animals
My recent letter to the New York Times Magazine editors: “Thank you so much for your article about seeing bugs for ‘who’ they are. Not inferior to humans or other animals. Just different, each with their own unique skills and sensitivities. “Since I was four, I’ve been connecting with various bugs. Most become still […]
Help Wild Horses Keep Our Spirits High
We all love the feeling of wild horses kicking up their heels, galloping with manes flying through infinity across America’s great landscapes and the untamed scope of our dreams. Thanks to American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign, […]
Rehabs for Meat Addicts
I could have used the support of a rehab while I was in recovery from meat addiction in 1978. It was pretty lonely back then. Now, you can go online and instantly receive support and encouragement if you’re a vegan newbie, or wannabee. Thanks to All Creatures posting yesterday an article about the new book, […]
The Year I Stopped ‘Saving’ Animals
It was early Spring, 1998, Glastonbury, England. I was snuggled against the fence around a pasture of sheep munching on the lush green of their friendly environment, their tails idly wagging at the joy of being alive on that sparkling day. Basking in pastoral delight, my eyes rested on a little lamb prancing up to […]
Based on an FBI report, if you eat animals, you are prone to violence
NPR’s video and transcript gave news yesterday that the FBI will now “track animal abuse the way it tracks arson or assault.” The research we’ve known about for decades is still spot on. Animal abusers, whether children or adults, are likely to extend their violence to humans. Jeffrey Dahmer, Son of Sam, school shooters, gangs. All animal […]
Ew, a Hare in my Whole Foods Rabbit Stew
Typo: hair, not hare. Nothing worse than finding a hair in your rabbit stew. You immediately imagine the hair’s origin. A greasy head. Or worse, a greasy, scaly head belonging to a body whose owner thinks “hygiene” is a greeting. The worst: What if the hair belongs to the rabbit in the rabbit stew? Even […]
Our Planet. Theirs too.
Dear animal loving friends: I know how much you love your dogs, your cats, your bunnies, your sweet birds, your horses. You love them as much as your own children. Some animals even more than your own children, you have told me. You refer to yourselves as their guardians, not their owners. I know the […]
