"When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways--either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength." --His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Newtown Victim's Dream Becomes A Reality
"It was just in her soul," said Jenny Hubbard, describing her late daughter's love of animals. "She didn't care if it was fuzzy or slimy." Six-year-old Catherine Violet Hubbard was sadly one of 20 first-graders killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Before she died, young Catherine worked tirelessly towards her dream - a dream of one day opening her own animal refuge. At first, she raised money collecting recyclable bottles - enough to buy treats for dogs at the animal shelter.
But not now, thanks to the loving-kindness of strangers and friends, that dream is soon to become a reality.
BE THE CHANGE
We are never too small to create a much needed change. Even in the face of tragedy, we can be moved by this force of one.
