ABH – Inspirational Sayings

ABH – Inspirational Sayings – August 2015 – If there is one thing that I know – it’s that all people who love animals have their hearts nicked or broken every day. But then we focus on the task at hand – which is creating awareness to help them – and get back to doing the job that stirs our passions and helps to correct human wrongs!

I’ve added a new category and started a Facebook page – A Beating Heart – Inspiration Sayings – for those days when we need a reminder of all that is wise, profound and still beautiful in the world. I have always loved “profundities” and I hope these give you a lift on a day when you need a touch of magic!

This page was inspired by and is in remembrance of the Nigerian people who have either been kidnapped or lost their lives in these appalling atrocities against them.
