This is Me (Part one of....a million?)

In my "find myself this year" journey that I've decided to go on. (Wow, cheesy Amanda...)... I've discovered a few things about myself that I can definitely confirm.

1) I'm outgoing in general, but feel no need to make myself center of attention.

2) I cry a lot. When I'm really happy. Really sad. Really frustrated. I used to really, really despise this. It happened after my first real relationship in high school. When we broke up- my tear ducts apparently decided to release themselves....till the end....of time.  Whatever. I've finally accepted that I cry.
Wahhhhh.

3) I'm a homebody. I'm 25. And I'm a homebody. I would rather be at home, curled up with my Huz, laughing at stupid humor on The Goldbergs....than be out at a party of any kind.

4) I'm good at makeup. I don't know the right brushes or techniques...but I make myself look alright, I think. :)

5) I have a BIG heart for animals. If I see a stray cat, I will halt any and all plans and spend as much time as I can trying to snatch it up and make it my fur babe. Haha. :) It's just who I am. A person dies in a movie? In general it's like...."Meh. Ok. But are the pets OK?? Did the horses escape that tornado? Did the dog make it out of the boat in time before the lava lake gobbled him up?!?!?!?!"

C'est moi. :)

Hey Friends.

I typically tend to keep things light on my blog.  I feel like when I intend on browsing blogs, I want to see things that inspire me and make me happy.

 

So today, I'm switching it up just a bit & hoping to inspire you in a way other than through food, coffee, and pictures. :)

 

I would say THE biggest passion I have, that brings out the most emotion for me, is that of caring for & protecting animals.

On Facebook, people are constantly sharing causes and trying to spread the word. I totally agree that this can be overwhelming & sometimes uncomfortable- specifically with some of the pictures that are used. But, I also support the reason why these posts are spread.

 

I'm not going to post pictures to make you aware, but instead I wanted to ask if you knew that...

 

In other Countries- people are using dogs as live shark bait.

Animals are being dragged behind vehicles.

Animals are being tied up & tortured.

They are left wandering the streets while they're "owners" go on vacations.

Around here, people are even tying dogs to train tracks & tying dogs up to fences until someone hopefully saves them.

 

Those aren't comforting facts, right?

But the reason I'm sharing is because...they are facts.  And even if they weren't. I'd hope that you'd be brave enough & strong enough to speak up for these animals. Whether it's on Facebook, donating or joining a cause.

People may squirm or be a little uncomfortable at first, but they'll get over it. And you might of saved an animal's life.

 

If you've made it to the end of this post, you're amazing! :)
