Activist Aspirations Enthusiastic
Political Leaning Very Liberal

Wild Fact About Me That photo representing me is indeed a "Canadian face"...not that seals care about borders...but when our Governor General gave anti-seal hunt activists the finger by UNNECESSARILY consuming seal heart under the guise of honoring tradition, knowing full well the implications of her actions as a representative of this country, she was ripping the heart out of the people in this country who are fighting against cruelty to animals. However, THAT heart will NEVER STOP BEATING.
My Philosophy "Be the change you want to see in the world".-Ghandi
What Gives Me Hope compassionate people working for change, standing up against injustice and including animals and the earth in their anti-oppression work
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by First would be to protect all remaining wilderness from any further unsustainable human encroachment and ensure clean water is an available right for all (all at the same time...how can one choose?!)
What/who changed my life and why too many...but feminists who have recognized the linked oppressions of sexism and speciesism have been the biggest inspiration on my path...
"The Sexual Politics of Meat" by Carol Adams, "Nature Ethics" by Marti Kheel are just two important reads...
What Bugs Me people who don't care, cruelty, meat eating so-called enviromentalists, Drunk Drivers, racism, homophobia, speciesism, Apathy and willful ignorance  
Passions inspiring others to care, photography, my sweetheart, nature, ecofeminism, animal rights  
Inspirations the wisdom of animals, the innocence of children, those who have overcome great odds, earthbased spiritual practise, the reclamation of the divine feminine, so many amazing mentors, the knowledge that change happens, activists everywhere, the incredible beauty of  
What Scares Me lack of compassion in power holders  
  Favorites
Role Models anyone who has ever dared to care  
Quotation The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans anymore than blacks were made for whites, or women for men." -Alice Walker
