November 28 - American Buffalo

Bison (aka American Buffalo) - The surviving species of American Buffalo can be found in the Great Plains of North America. Nomadic grazers, they travel in herds and can move at speeds up to 35 mph and cover long distances at a lumbering gallop. Hunted close to extinction during the 19th and 20th centuries, they have since rebounded. The American plains bison is no longer listed as endangered, but the wood bison is still on the endangered species list in Canada.



During winter they grow heavy coats to endure the long cold months. They have a simple diet of grass, but must travel through snow to find patches of grass during the winter. During heavy snow falls, they have been know to eat twigs and shrubs if the snow is too deep to reach the grass.

11∙11∙11 - Once in a Century

Today's one-derful date holds special meaning, and not just because we wont see it again for another hundred years.

Power Number - One and two symbolize masculine and feminine energy, respectively, with one deemed as "the creator." When repeated, one becomes 11, which is considered the Master Number, representing rebirth and new beginnings. Prompting an estimated 57,000 wedding ceremonies will take place today.

Good Vibrations - With the presence of three 11s in the date, energy is strongly at play—promoting awareness, cooperation and healing on a global scale. Today, a movement called Global Cause for Peace is asking spiritual communities around the world to gather in ritual, prayer and meditation to harness today's harmonious energy and raise the global vibration.

Keeping the Peace - Today is also Veterans Day (Armistice Day ), marking the end of World War I, when Germany and the Allied nations called for resolution on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.


Make a wish!
