The New Year, is here!!! May it be your happiest ever Would that, be at, a magic hat, or what???
2023, may it be: Happy & free, for all …& me, Just like all those lucky animals, who are to be… Saved by vegans, in 2023.
Yes indeed, Happy 2023, to all of thee from the turtle to the bee to every Smith, Jones, and Hobbinscotchabee
I must confess, I am excited to, begin another ‘road trip,’ through another calendar All the endless possibilities, are as automobiles where my imagination is the “key” to start them all And “love for Earth… for people… and for animals” …is the gasoline in my engine. And where am I going?
I am going to make Earth “happy ”
It is time for Planet Earth to say goodbye, forever, to human: war; murder; disease; and misery This will happen when people stop eating animals
Every day we move closer to this goal
We were not born on Earth, so we could “hang around” here, forever. We are here to learn that a peaceful-character, is more valuable than objects When we learn that, we can take our happycharacter with us, on to the next part of the journey
Therefore, the world needs leaders who are, truly happy… because happiness... is the destination

How You Can Get Started …In Activism
Are you ready to be a Vegan-Activist? If you’re wondering, howyoucanget started, here are some suggestions:
What are some methods of activism?
Types of Activism
1. Donate pro earth and animal books to your local library.
2. Put stickers with important messages on your belongings—your laptop, luggage, refrigerator, water bottle, or school locker. Imagine if someone were to go vegan because of your well-placed sticker—it happens.
3. Have leaflets handy so that you don’t miss opportunities to inform people about ways they can avoid harming animals.
4. Wear clothing and accessories with animal rights messages—it’s one of the easiest ways to take action for animals.
5. Organize a shelter drive. Get some folks together to donate old blankets and dog and cat toys to a local open-admission animal shelter.
