The Prince of Wales makes a superb speech on the positive benefits of working together on the climate crisis at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference Dec. 15, 2009. One quote, "The future of mankind can be assured only if we rediscover ways in which to live as part of Nature not apart from her."

This cat understands the healing power of sound, vibration and affection!

A simply lovely animated short with beautiful original music featuring man's best friend, both of them.

These two cats are wonderful, they are innovative, imaginative and very determined. I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face.

A dog is man's best friend, and apparently that is true for our closest relatives. Unlikely, heartwarming story of Surya the orangutan who befriends a homeless blue hound dog.

I think the fact that this is one of the top videos on YouTube speaks to how much we have lost as a society. Connection is a good thing.

The moving story of Phyllis, a woman who met Shag-ra, a smart Arabian horse who changed her life. A testament to the healing power of love.

Jill Bolte Taylor had a unique opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: she had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions -- motion, speech, self-awareness -- shut down one by one, and she shares how her awareness of the universal connections opened up at the same time. An inspiring story powerfully told.

Guaranteed to make you smile. May all weddings be this much fun!

On how it was made: "...a lot of coaxing, a bit of direction, a bit of drinky, and lots of enthusiasim from us. We did it after the wedding, and it took all day!"

Inspiring to watch someone reach for their dream and succeed. Haunting vocals and a powerful stage presence combine to make this an incredibly beautiful performance of "Mad World" by American Idol contestant Adam Lambert.

"Never judge a book by its cover" is what everyone is saying about Susan Boyle, age 47, a recent contestant on Britain's Got Talent, who lives with her cat, Pebbles, in a small village in Scotland (and who says she has never been kissed). It has always been her dream to be a professional singer, and it was her mother, shortly before her death, who encouraged her to reach for her dream. Her performance brought tears to my eyes.

All species share an enjoyment of play. This wild fox is having great fun on a trampoline in an urban garden in Kent, England.

Powerful, non-violent Public Service Announcement video movingly tells the story of who really suffers in dog fighting, and asks an important question. The inspiration here is the story behind the making of the video. It only takes one person to create a difference. Visit http://web.mac.com/animalsite/iWeb/PSA/note.html

A dog mothers kittens, a cat adopts an orphaned fawn, a wild leopard mothers a baby baboon. This video enjoys wide email popularity, and one I received came with this comment, "We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box."

Pearl Fryar is a man with a dream. It started with his desire to win the Yard of the Month award, and became a work of beauty and love that transcended racial barriers in a small Southern town. After finishing a 12-hour work day, Paul would return home to work in his garden by floodlight, often into early morning hours. Today his garden attracts visitors from around the world.

Skidboot is one of the smartest dogs you'll meet, but this video is special because of the rapport between him and his person, David Hartwig. A farrier in Texas, David has a special rapport with animals, and a gratitude for his relationship with Skidboot and nature that is inspiring to see. Skidboot passed in 2007, but his legacy lives on.

A moving documentary of the unique collaboration between two communities, cultures, and scientists to return the buffalo to the land and culture they have been a part of for thousands of years.

A fascinating perspective on the nature of inspiration, not only describing the creative process, but humanizing it.

This video inspired me to share it with all the amazing women who have offered me support through the years.

Sixteen year-old Kate and Gin, a female border collie, turn in an inspiring performance set to the musical James Bond theme.
