A Cheyenne Prayer For Peace

Let us know peace.
For as long as the moon shall rise,
For as long as the rivers shall flow,
For as long as the sun shall shine,
For as long as the grass shall grow,
Let us know peace -

(AMEN!)

"What is man without the beasts?
If all the beasts were gone,
men would die from
great loneliness of spirit ..."

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month!
This does not mean our awareness cannot continue year-round!!!
All of us are touched by breast cancer. Who among you do not know someone who has suffered breast cancer themselves, or know someone who has a close friend or loved one who has suffered breast cancer, or lost a close friend or loved one who has paid the ultimate price of breast cancer?

For more information on breast cancer you can click the pink ribbon above, which will take you directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation and information web site.

PLEASE also do your part to support breast cancer awareness and research by visiting The Breast Cancer Site, where you will find many ways you can help support this most worthy cause, including secure server for donations, gifts, t-shirts, bags, jewelry, etc. purchases, as well as links to information and other sites directly related to breast cancer, its treatment and future cure. This is also where you can click to help fund mammography for those who are uninsured and unable to pay for this most critical diagnostic test, so PLEASE take the time to visit The Breast Cancer Site NOW and click to help fund mammograms for those in need!

Please also consider book-marking The Breast Cancer Site so you can return daily to click for funding free mammograms for women in need who would otherwise be unable to afford this invaluable test for breast cancer.

Thanks to my visitors for your generous donations!

PLEASE visit the North Carolina Responsible Animal Owners Alliance!!!

The North Carolina Responsible Animal Owners Alliance is a burgeoning and fast-growing organization whose mission is to "Become North Carolina's leading voice for responsible animal ownership and preservation of the human-animal bond."

The NCRAOA site is an excellent resource for obtaining information regarding responsible pet ownership, including down-loadable brochures and flyers, educational materials, pages on dogs, cats, horses and other pets, press releases, legislative actions and much, MUCH more!

At first I had considered adding a new area to Ailea's Place to include the ongoing wars being fought around the world to take away our rights to own animals, but cannot for the life of me justify doing this when the resources are already available - and very adequately spoken - at the NCRAOA site.

Please take a moment to visit NCRAOA online, and consider the valuable information available to you there. I've joined them and offered my support - won't you please at least consider doing the same for yourself and your animals?

You may click the NCRAOA image above to visit their site! :-)

Visit the American Heart Association for more info!

Heart disease used to be a man's disease but no longer. Heart disease is now the number one killer of women, as well! No woman can afford to remain ignorant of the signs of heart attack, nor of the risk factors. Please visit the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women site, above!
