  Happy Lunar New Year

  Hey guys! Happy Lunar New Year! Today marks the start of the lunar New Year to all that follow and know about it. And if you don’t really know about it, I am sure you would have seen some sort of festivities from the Asian community. So it is the year of the Black Snake. What does it really mean?

  Well if you read up on your zodiac signs, it would tell you that families with someone who is born in the year of the snake will not go hungry. Men who are snakes are usually romantic and charming. Ladies who are born in the year of the snake are beautiful and successful. But be careful, they tend to lean toward the jealous side.

  But snakes can also be wise and become very successful. They say that a snake is a thinker, so naturally they would excel in the world of academia. And if you are a business minded person, you would not have to worry about money – you are naturally successful. This is because snakes can face a difficult situation and solve it quickly and quietly. That is the nature of a snake.

  But having said everything above, we simply cannot live by what has been ordained in some script. Each individual needs to find their own personality, their own qualities, and their own success. As we all know, nothing gets delivered to us on a silver platter. Personal achievement is measured by the effort you exert rather than what you reap. And to those who are worried about finding a partner, it does not matter whether they are a snake, dog or dragon. When you find the one that melts your heart, you will know. And even if the zodiac readings tell you otherwise, if they are the one, then you will have nothing to worry about.

  So from the team at stinkythepig, we want to wish you all a safe and prosperous New Year. We hope that you will be able to fulfill your goals for the coming year. Stay healthy and strong for yourself and your loved ones. Treat the people you love and care about with utmost sincerity and above all else, stay true to yourself. Blessings be upon you.

  Be Free! Stinky goes to Asia

  Happy new year to all! We apologise for not wishing you one earlier. We felt that our post from last week was important, so we did not want to cloud it with any other messages. But that deed has been done and now we can focus on the brighter side of things.

  We went through some of the photos we had of Stinky in his travels and noticed a lovely picture of Stinky next to a picture of a little girl. But it wasn’t until recently that we noticed that there was text in the picture that read ‘Be Free’. So we thought whether there was any better advice you could give, other than to free yourself? Being free could apply to so many things and it is not until we learn to truly be free, that we are able to find the haven of happiness. So what are we so caught up in that we need to be reminded of something so simple? Financial stress, bad habits that are hard to shake, free from being forced to work, emotions and a world where love no longer rules supreme? I’m sure the list could go on forever.

  Having said all this, we think that true freedom is when your heart and mind act as one. So set yourself a goal, to put your hearts wishes into action. Whether it is mustering up the courage to the tell girl of the dreams that you love her, to sponsoring a child – go ahead and do it.

  Since we are on the topic of following your heart, Stinky is finally going to Asia. First stop Singapore. It is quite amazing that Stinky has probably travelled to more places than we have! We look forward to sharing more of his adventures in Asia when he returns. But we are more than excited to see what he will get up to. If you live abroad, and would like to help Stinky in his travels, send us an email at info@stinkythepig.com and we can try and organise something.

  Until next we meet, it is Bon Voyage for now.

  Make it Possible

  There’s no way out. I have long dreamt of the world that extended beyond these boundaries. It’s suffocating to say the least. I wonder what it would feel like to have the chance to breathe some fresh air because the air within these confines is rancid. I wonder what it would be like to feel blades of grass beneath me – it would be freedom. I wonder if the hundreds of others who live like me feel the same. Hope seems like the only thing that is keeping me whole. Yet hope, although it is still there, seems futile.

  I don’t know if I will see much change. But dreaming about change does not cost me a thing. I dream and I hope that someday they will let me out of this cage. I might even be lucky enough to stretch my legs because it seems like a long time since I felt them. Please… help me.

  So I’m guessing that the above might be something the caged animals might be thinking or feeling. It’s hard to think that in this day and age, we are still just as barbaric as before. We recently watched a video from Animals Australia called Make it Possible. It saddened us to see the things that go on behind the scenes in the animal trade in Australia and abroad. Sometimes we take for granted the lives that we lead and often forget how lucky we are to have freedom and individualism. Click the link below to watch the short clip.

  Also, check out Animal Australia’s website at http://www.makeitpossible.com/ and see all the great work they are doing.

  I will save the New Year post for next week. It seems wrong to dilute the emphasis on the above issue. Hope you have been well.
