Gratitude is an essential part of prayer and positive thought. A great deal of the time we are expressing gratitude for what we know is true, beautiful, miraculous, sacred—for the very nature of life itself. By doing so, we help to bring all that into manifestation and visibility.

But there are also many things already made tangible in our circle of compassion. One of those is the historic European Union ban on cosmetics testing on animals. The final phase of the ban has been implemented. It is now against the law, not only to test cosmetics on animals in the EU, but cosmetic products that have been tested elsewhere cannot be imported into the EU.

This is having a ripple effect around the world as more companies scramble to find testing methods that don’t use animals so they can continue to sell to EU customers. Israel has already banned animal tests for both cosmetics and household products, and India has suspended all tests on animals.

Thoughts of love and gratitude, prayers of compassion, holding the vision of a nonviolent world—along with confident, bold actions for animal liberation—all these are working together to bring freedom and peace to all beings.

Thanks to all of you, compassion is encircling the earth for all beings. Thank you for your devotion to truth, love, liberation and peace for all beings.

With Love, peace, and gratitude from Judy, and Will, Madeleine, and the Circle of Compassion team.
