December 8, 2025
After travelling for several hours from a southern Alberta feedlot, six trucks arrived at the Edmonton International Airport late last evening, carrying horses destined for slaughter in Japan.

Soon after arriving at the airport, each truck backed into a building where the horses were unloaded from the trailers and into crates. They remained there for hours, until the crates were loaded on the aircraft that was scheduled to arrive the next morning.

The Korean Air Cargo flight left at approximately 3:50 a.m. this morning and the horses’ long and arduous journey continued.

The horses are denied access to food, water, and rest from the time they are loaded on trucks at the feedlot until they arrive at the quarantine station in Japan. Transporting horses without food, water, and rest is permitted under Canadian regulations for a maximum of 28 hours, but many of these ‘’shipments’’ exceed that time limit.

Horses have fallen, become injured and even died as a result of these flights.

In 2024, 3,265 horses met this cruel fate.

⚠️On Tuesday, December 16, nationwide vigils for the horses lost to live exports will be held in 11 cities: : Charlottetown, Halifax, Moncton, Montreal, Toronto, London, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver

The Ascension of Master Rocky aka " Rocky With The Big Heart"

I am sad to share that our beloved Master Rocky has ascended to his Divine Home in the heavens. Yet, Rocky's birth into the spirit world was as magical, mysterious and miraculous as the unconditional love he shared with every human, horse, animal and the Earth herself.

Rocky chose to leave suddenly, unexpectedly, in a flash of what can only be described as a birth of pure joy. I had just checked him on the cameras, happy, playful, full-bodied, eating his soaked hay cubes. Minutes later he was gone. His body showed no signs of struggle, heart attack, stroke, colic, pain or suffering. He lay peacefully in a golden aura of glowing joy. If a horse could smile like a sleeping Buddha, that was Rocky.

Usually I lay on my horses' bodies for several hours and channel reiki with them as their spirit births to the higher realms. Helping a soul birth into the spirit world is a great honour.
But Rocky did it his way, on his own.
The winds came, the rain suddenly poured and then the clouds parted with the evening sun beaming peace from the center of his Being.
Rocky was of the elements.
He was magical.
Together, we created a sacred space that cultivated his ascension every day. When Rocky chose the Divine Time, he was ready. His life of betrayals, loneliness, fear and hardships had dissolved in our 17 years of unconditional love together.
Rocky became whole and free . . .Rocky is everything I yearn to be.

Rocky truly was, and is, a miracle.
Despite being blind, with multiple chronic health conditions, including emergency kidney stone surgery almost 4 years ago, Rocky wasn't just a survivor, he was an alchemist, a great humble healer, the Taoist Master who brought enlightenment through giving his love, his heart, to All.

I could write several books on the incredible miracles that Rocky and I lived together, including the first Divine messages that guided me to Rocky, after strangers miles away prayed that " the woman who saved Trigger would return to save Rocky" . When I unexpectedly arrived, just one day before Rocky was scheduled to load on a slaughter truck, the girls who prayed were shocked. Their prayers had been answered.

Rocky fully embodies the essence of the Divinity of Horses, the Great Wise King, The Humble Master, the Angel in Disguise who came to Earth as a blind, sweet, simple servant to give every Being the Divine Gift of Sacred Light . . . to Awaken their heart and Remember their soul.

We Love You Master Rocky.
We Will Never Stop Loving You.

Enjoy our tribute video to Master Rocky with his special soul mate, beautiful Carol.

Please share to spread Rocky's mission to Honour Horses as Healers.
Rocky changed lives by his mere presence.

Thank you to the amazing Chloe Lin and Carol VM for creating this beautiful video, sharing Carol's story of her love with Rocky.

Master Rocky. 40+ years young.
Ascended April 29, 2025.
Beloved King of Heaven and Earth.

Canadians. Stand in Honour and Memory of Canada's Horses

𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐕𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬

On the anniversary of the Agriculture Minister’s December 16, 2021 mandate letter—one that included a clear promise to end live horse exports for slaughter—Canadians across the country are coming together for a peaceful candlelight vigil to honour the thousands of horses who have suffered and died since that commitment was made.

Despite the Liberal Party’s 2021 pledge to ban this industry, more than 10,700 Canadian horses have been shipped on gruelling long-haul flights to Japan since the Agriculture Minister was mandated to make good on the commitment. Many arrive injured, severely dehydrated, or deeply stressed. They are doused with harsh disinfectant chemicals as they arrive at quarantine facilities, fattened, and violently slaughtered. Others never make it off the planes alive. Horses regularly die during transport or in the hours and days that follow—victims of untreated injuries, extreme exhaustion, and even tragic miscarriages.

𝐀 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
Animal Justice, along with the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition, Humane World for Animals Canada, and local partner organizations will be hosting 11 coordinated events across Canada on December 16, bringing together communities from coast to coast in unity, compassion, and determination. Together, we will honour the horses whose lives were taken and remind our government that these animals must not be forgotten.

Participating cities:
• Calgary
• Charlottetown
• Edmonton
• Halifax
• London
• Moncton
• Montreal
• Ottawa
• Toronto
• Vancouver
• Winnipeg

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐥
• Standing together in solidarity and compassion
• Reflections and shared words from community members and advocates
• A moment of silence to honour the horses who have been lost
• The opportunity to lay letters, flowers, candles, or symbolic items at a shared memorial
• A collective call for the government to act now and end this cruelty

𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐔𝐬
As part of this national day of remembrance, we are also inviting Members of Parliament to attend and speak at vigils across the country. Their presence is a meaningful opportunity to acknowledge the importance of making good on the 2021 promise to Canadians, listen directly to their constituents, and demonstrate support across party lines for ending live horse exports for slaughter. We hope MPs from all parties will join us in honouring the lives lost and committing to urgent action.

Gratitude: Connecting with Your Inner Power

Gratitude is a simple, powerful way to honour yourself and others.

Gratitude is a gateway to achieving your goals with sustainable growth and limitless potential, expanding your capacity beyond what you thought was possible, by creating a foundation of valuing what you already have.

Here is an excerpt from my award-winning column in Expert Profile Magazine "Moving Beyond Mindset With Ancient Universal Principles Part 8: Connecting: Beyond Gratitude":

" “Wear Gratitude Like A Cloak And It Will Feed Every Corner Of Your Life”, Rumi
Cultivating gratitude has always been part of the conscious teachings of humanity. At its core, gratitude supports a deep connection with oneself, an expanding consciousness of the value of who you are and what you have. "
