Hello friends!
Did you miss me? I sure have missed all of you. My last blog
was a rip roaring success thanks to all of your likes, so here I am again! I
hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Mine was fantastic! I must admit
that my fuzzy pants are fitting a bit tighter but that’s quite alright. Have
you made your New Year’s Resolutions yet? What are they? I told mom that mine
was going to be to get our Facebook page to 10,000 likes! She said that might
be a bit of a lofty goal for a little chicken and that maybe we should go for
5,000 to start with. That sounds reasonable. I will need your help though; are
you up for the challenge? All you need to do is invite all of your friends on
Facebook to like our page. That’s it! Super easy! I love our little sanctuary
and I want the whole world to know about us. Plus, any friends of yours would
be wonderful friends to have, so won’t you send them our way? Our goal is 5,000
likes (10,000 really but don’t tell mom) so let’s see how close we can get! On
your mark….get set….GO!!!!
Big thanks to everyone who purchased a 2016 calendar and to
those who sent us gifts from our wish list. You probably don’t realize what a
huge, wonderful impact that made. I told mom that we must have sold so many
calendars because I promoted them in my last blog. I am a celebrity now you
know. Either way, we sure do appreciate your support, it means the world to us!
Some of my brothers and sisters even had people step forward who want to
sponsor them! Can you believe it? You should have heard everyone carrying on at
the barn when we found out. Bodhi was mooing (trying to bark) and kicking his
feet up dancing, Roja was running in circles with excitement, and the goats
were jumping for joy! It was a little scary for us little folk. You haven’t
lived until you have a 2000lb bovine dancing around in your pasture! We were
all very excited though and we feel so much loved. Thank you all again. 2015
was such a great year to be a chicken; I can’t wait to see what 2016 brings. If
you are interested in finding out more about my home, purchasing a calendar,
purchasing something from our wish list, or sponsoring one of us, you can find

We have some very, very, very exciting things coming up at
Project: THRIVE in the spring, but I can’t tell you what they are just yet.
Stay tuned and we will let you know all the details as soon as we can! In the
interim, I wanted to share this very special video with you: ttps://youtu.be/_rTuCFsMxAc This is
a heartwarming story of a very good friend of mine. He had a rough start in
life, just like me, but he is doing so much better now. I think this is the
best story ever of how animals are good for your soul. As a chicken, I think
humans are good for our souls too because there is nothing like a hug from a
human (especially the ones you call children). This story reinforces the power
of love and compassion and we love every time Dre comes to visit us here at the
barn. It may seem that we animals are just standing around eating hay and lazily
enjoying the day, but we are also doing very important work here at
Project:THRIVE. We are changing lives one moo, oink, cluck, whinny, Baaaaa, at
a time!
Well, I suppose that is enough excitement for one day. Thank
you again for all that you do for us here at Project:THRIVE! We really do love
each and every one of you. Don’t forget to invite your friends to come play and
like us on Facebook; 5,000 likes (10,000 really) or bust! WE can do it!!!!
With lots of love, cluck, cluck, cluck,
Little x
