Dear Animal Communicators,

Have you heard about this before?  It all started in 1931 with a group of ecologists in Florence, as their way of raising awareness of the need to protect and secure endangered species.  October 4 was chosen as World Animal Day as it is the Feast Day of St Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.

Please take a look at the wonderful website and wonder “What can I do to be of support on the 4th October?” 

Taken from the site here is their reason for being;

MISSION STATEMENT – WORLD ANIMAL DAY

  • To celebrate animal life in all its forms  
  • To celebrate humankind’s relationship with the animal kingdom  
  • To acknowledge the diverse roles that animals play in our lives – from being our companions, supporting and helping us, to bringing a sense of wonder into our lives
  • To acknowledge and be thankful for the way in which animals enrich our lives

You could spend time with your animals, if you have them, or go and visit some animals in a sanctuary or park.  You could do some fund raising to donate to a cause you know or whatever else you can think of. 

Sitting quietly for 10 minutes praying for the highest good for all species on this planet is  a hugely powerful action to take.  Sending love to all life as often as possible is also a wonderful thing to do and it does make a difference.

See what your imagination can create and do something to add energy and action behind this wonderful day of recognition, thanks and love to our most precious fellow species. 

The more fun and laughter you can bring to the celebrations the better!  I’ll be posting details of what celebrations I will be getting up to shortly.  

Have fun with it and make it a really special celebration, let’s show our love and gratitude for all our animal companions.  The more of us that get involved the bigger the difference it makes…

Love and blessings, Julie   XXX
