My goal for the next ~40 days is to be the best person I can be. This encompasses eating vegetarian as often as I can, being as kind-hearted and understanding and forgiving and helpful as I can be, and just being much more positive and mindful of not only my actions, but others as well. Therefore, I thought that this quote would not only inspire me but that it could also inspire others as well! I hope you like the quote!

It's quite a beauty! Nearly 9 feet tall and weighs about 8800 pounds!
