Spreading Peace Travels

Greetings! My name is Tara, I am in my mid 20s and strive on a daily basis to make people smile and to spread the essence of the power of love and peaceful living. I am leaving April 1st through September to travel around the US, to meet other wonderful humans like myself. My goal in all of this is to dramatically change many lives for the better including mine.
People seem to get stuck in the same daily routines, without even acknowledging all the beautiful things around them. Someone very dear to me has helped me open my eyes during the past few years and my goal is to spread the peace I have found in daily living. It is amazing how a smile, or even a simple gesture can change lives; we CAN change the world!
I personally have had a very rough emotion path to finding my peace. I lost my mother, my only parent, to alcoholism in Dec. 2008.  It has been a very spiritual emotional process for myself, and has changed my life forever. I feel there are others out there like myself, that have been through even more tramatic experices, that do not have another kind soul in their lives to show them the light at the end of the dark tunnel, help them move on, and show them that there is serenity out there. There is always something to be thankful for.
 I have been working on my degree in Human Services for 4yrs now in hopes to become a traveling life coach, emphasizing on the more spiritual tranquil aspect of life in itself. I also have a certificate in Equine Massage and Sports Rehabilitation. I have spend the past few years helping our canine and equine friends in need. I have taken in both emaciated and/or abused horses and have spent my own money and time changing their lives in hopes for a better livelihood. I have personally taken in 3 dogs, and 13 horses over the past year alone, many on their death bed. There is more information and updates to show my success at facebook.com/lovepaintedacres. 
ALL donations will be put to great use, a majority in helping others in need, with no judgement or restrictions.   I will be camping and couch surfing my entire trip. I have personally saved up for my own necessities, I am absolutly looking just to give back and change the lives of those I can and will meet during my travels.  I will be making a blog page, in which I will update my donors daily on my life changing experiences.
Thank you for any amout you can donate, together, we can change lives!
