I’m happy to report that Saving Simon: How A Rescued Donkey Taught Me The Meaning Of Compassion, my 26th book, just went up on Amazon and is now available for pre-ordering. This is the story of Simon, how he came to me in horrible condition and near death, how he recovered, and the enormous impact he had on my life. Simon in many ways began a process of opening me up that led to accepting Red into my life, accepting Rocky the blind pony, and moving to our new home. Simon was to challenge my notions of compassion in many different ways, helping me understand my own struggles, and also how difficult true compassion is and how meaningful.

Compassion is an easy thing to admire and talk about, but a rare thing to see and practice in our world.

There will be several ways to get this book. You can order it online from  Amazon, the first seller to put it up for sale.

I’ll be doing another online book and we’ll be talking about Simon, giving away books and photos, doing podcasts and topics on Facebook. I am happy to tell the story of Simon, it is rich a beautiful tale for me.
