Goodnight dear ones. It’s Saturday night. We hope that you’re all having a wonderful weekend. Enjoy yourself to the fullest. Try not to let anything stressful enter your mind. This is your chance to rejuvenate before the week ahead. Take advantage of it.

If you’re going out for the evening, please stay safe. Always travel in groups, especially women. Always be aware of your surroundings. Stay alert at all times. If you’re going to be drinking tonight, never leave your drink unattended. It’s very easy for someone to slip something into your drink, and that can be very dangerous for you. If you’re going out on a blind date, it’s always best to meet that person in a public place. It’s best not to get into the car of someone you dont know. Start out by meeting them half way in your own car. That is the safest way. And please remember not to drink and drive, or text and drive. Both of these things can be deadly. Your life, and the lives of others, mean too much.

If you find yourself alone on the weekends, do not feel badly about that. It is much better to be alone than in the wrong company. Too much stigma has been associated with being alone. Being alone does not mean you are lonely. You can still enjoy any activity that you want on your own. If you’ve been wanting to see a certain movie, or go out to a certain restaurant, don’t be afraid to enjoy those things on your own. You can even bring a book or a laptop to a restaurant if you want to. You never have to miss out on any moment of enjoyment just because you don’t have company. You’d be surprised how pleasant being just in your own company can be. Treat yourself. Go out and enjoy the things that make you happy. Don’t miss out on a single thing that you want. Even if you can have company, its very important to have some time by yourself and to be comfortable that way. You no longer have to “need” someone else. You can now love someone or enjoy someone’s company without “needing” them when you are comfortable being on your own.

Many prayers going out tonight for all of the beautiful and innocent creatures that we are blessed to share this earth with. There are so many animals that need our help. Without a voice, they cannot ask for our help. Still they need us. They are defenseless against the atrocities being committed on too many of them. Let us never forget these angels that are being hunted for “sport”, abused, tortured, enslaved and murdered. It’s happening to countless numbers of them, even as I write this. Can you imagine what this must be like for them? Can you imagine the depths of their fear and suffering? This is not what God had planned for them. Animals were sent to this world to teach us love with no conditions. To teach us devotion and loyalty. They are a gift to us, and should always be treated as such.

Small changes in our diet, wardrobe and the products that we use, can mean the difference between life and death for millions of these precious angels. Make sure to read the labels on the items you are buying and consuming. Educate yourself on where these products come from. Do your very best to try and make sure that no animals have to suffer for the making of those products. They are counting on us. Let us work together, to save as many lives as we possibly can.

No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed. Amen.

Love from,
Jessica Lee Smith,
For Sammy & Family

Hello animal lovers. Jess is taking the night off to be with the kids and my mother. So I will step in for her tonight. I mentioned my childhood friend today rescuing a Pit-Bull named Jasper. They are from the Facebook Page of Jasper the Friendly Oaf. We talk about Pit Bulls a lot as you all know, so I thought to mention Jasper again tonight as we did today. Let’s pray for Jasper who got a new lease on life with a great family. We are wishing them all happiness. This was a win win, no question about it.

We are posting this picture of a baby pig from the Facebook page of Animals Need Help And Compassion. As you can see they are no different then our beloved pets and family members. They see, they feel, they can smell. They feel love and pain just like people. I have recently brought soy dogs into my diet. They are absolutely delicious. More importantly, nobody had to suffer a life hell and demise for my appetite. Please join Jessica, Vanessa and I and the many that have been beating this drum for a long time now in taking action for the betterment of these lovely creatures.

As always we pray for all animal victims forced to participate in these senseless sporting events, counting on their anguish and demise. What a horrible tradition some of these countries have and what gumption people have to abuse these Godly creatures for their amusement. It’s such a discard for life.

Small tweaks in our lives make a substantial differences in theirs, including life or death. Any animal lover knows we are not important enough for any species to suffer for our appetite. We will not die not eating animals. There is a better way.

No lives will go in Vain, no pain will go unnoticed.

Amen. Love always Sammy & Family

[pullquote align=”left|center|right” textalign=”left|center|right” width=”30%”] The funny thing about Times Square is you never know who you’ll run into. For Throwback Thursday, here is the Cookie Monster & Elmo. Sammy always loved the world and everything in it, no judgments.

Happy Thursday. [/pullquote]

Goodnight friends and family. We hope that you have all arrived safely to your destinations, and that this day has treated you well.

Everyday we are faced with challenges. No matter how hard we try to avoid it, life puts obstacles before us that we must overcome. Things can seem so overwhelming. It is sometimes hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel, but have no doubt that there is one.

I do my best everyday to try and not wallow in the past, or in regrets and mistakes made in my own life. It is difficult to do sometimes, when there are constant reminders. Still I must remain strong and move forward. I must set myself apart from the past and move into the future, knowing that God has brought me to where I am spiritually, only through trials and a lot of error on my part. Without my mistakes and without the turmoil that I have survived, I would not be as strong as I am today. It is true in my case, the old sayings that “youth is wasted on the young” and “If only I knew then, what I know now.” I know most of us can relate to that.

If I could give the young boy that I once was one thing, it would be self confidence. Low self esteem was my biggest “sin.” I am calling it a “sin,” because it hurt someone very badly. And that someone was me. You see, God wants us to be good to all of his children and that includes ourselves. If we are good to others but not to ourselves we are still not doing fully what God wants of us. God wants us to find the same love for ourselves and until we do, we will continue to be faced with pain. We must show the same protective instinct that we show for others when it comes to protecting ourselves also. Loving yourself can be a lifelong lesson and is sometimes the hardest lesson to learn.

One of the most painful things in this life is seeing your own child have to learn the same hard lessons that you have already learned. Our natural Instinct is to want to save our child and pass onto them the wisdom that we have gained throughout our years. It is natural for us to want to spare them the suffering by passing that knowledge on to them. It is very hard to know that we cannot always do that. It is very difficult to accept that those we love, have to go through their own trial and error the same way that we did. Such is the cycle of life. Such is the way that each soul must grow. And it is this lesson that is truly the hardest of all.

So tonight, we pray for the children. All of the beautiful and innocent children that deserve to have hope and deserve to suffer not a single day. We pray for the children that go without, the children who have been wounded and carry with them a pain that no child should ever know. We pray for children that suffer with a lifelong or terminal illness. No child should ever have to endure this. No child could ever deserve this. All children should be well. All children should feel loved, wanted and accepted for who they are. God Bless the children. God protect them all of the days of their lives as they journey forward.

Very special and very strong prayers go out tonight for our friend Lane. We learned about Lane’s plight from her dear friend Cynthia Cothren Bivens. Cynthia is a very important member of the “Everybody Loves Sammy” community. We care a lot about Cynthia and Lane is Cynthia’s best friend. Just recently we sent prayers out for a miracle for Lane after she was diagnosed with advanced stage cancer and told by her doctor, that she had only a week left to live.

It is with a very heavy heart that we share with you that Lane has passed away today. She is now an angel and no longer suffers any fear or pain. God bless Lane and carry her into the light, in your arms. God, please comfort Cynthia and her loved ones with the knowledge that even death cannot separate us from those that we love. These are bonds that remain for all eternity. Love is everlasting and lives on until we meet again.

And for the millions and millions of innocent and defenseless animals, fighting everyday to survive, we ask for miracle. Too many of these precious angels are being abandoned, abused, neglected and tortured. The genocide that is being inflicted on these defenseless creatures needs to end. Have no doubt that God watches over his angels and he watches very closely, how they are being treated.

Small adjustments to our lifestyles, our diet, our wardrobe and the products that we use, will mean the difference between life and death to countless animals. Let us do our very best to save as many lives as possible. Together we can make a difference.

No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed. Amen.

[pullquote align=”left|center|right” textalign=”left|center|right” width=”30%”] Happy Tuesday. Sammy & Family had a special visitor the other day, our great friend Briggette Baust. Henry and Sammy took a special liking to her. They can always tell who the animals lovers are. We wanted to give Briggette a Shout Out. She has been a hair and make -up stylist for 25 years now. Many of my friends use her services, and its usually the same review. Customers walk in looking for a new look they can’t describe, and leave feeling like a renewed lease on life. This gal is a true artist. Definition of an artist; someone who doesn’t plan their expression, they just do it. Briggette, thank you for stopping by, this was a real treat for all of us.
