I care for other people, so much. I take on their problems and pain. I especially care for children. I am a kindergarten teacher. I have also taught special needs children for 15 years.
If I had the time and money I would be an advocate for children, and for people that have been abused.
I would love for the world to be a better place. I would love for everyone to love one another and have world peace.

God bless you, shelle!

Thank you, Kool. Right back at you :-)

I am an animal lover. That is why I chose to go Vegan almost 5 years ago.

I just can't bear the suffering.

Thanks Kool man!!

I get along with all kids and animals, especially gym rats and dogs ;) haha. Yesterday I went the the assisted living facility where my grandma is staying and there were so many lonely people there, I ended up staying for four hours.

The joys of mindful kindness are many :)

I know that I pay attention to how my dates treat animals and others. If a guy throws something at his dog, leaves a insulting tip, ridicules a child or senior they won't get another date with me. On the flip side I've trusted men more than they deserved because they worked in a "helping profession" (ie. my Firefighter/EMT/Psych Tech/Personal Trainer ex)

Agreed. The best cure for depression is to help others. My dog and I visit aged care / dementia wards..and I work for a different charity.... it's more effective than any anti depressant on the market. Not to menTion fun, interesting.....and just good. I love the oldies in the homes....they may not remember me, due to the dementia, but they remember my dog.....it's lovely. My dog loves it too... looks forward to our visits.

Coping I do agree with you too. I love animals and just to pet a dog or cat feels nice. That is one reason I go for a walk to listen to the birds sing is calming.
