I made these Drive Safe Baby Army Hares for animal lovers as a reminder to drive safely, because if you really love animals I bet you’re on edge every time you’re driving incase someone darts into the road?

But just imagine always having clear roads ahead? Well, it’s not impossible, because every time I get in my car I set some intentions for exactly that.

It just takes a minute! And as I say them I envision the clear roads and a safe trip, and I feel relieved and thankful. It’s always worked for me! I hope it’ll help you too. This is exactly what I say –

Thank you for the clear roads (clear of animals, birds and other creatures), thank you for the even roads, thank you for the grippy roads. And thank you for the safe, aware, careful, compassionate drivers around me and my safe journey.

And I wrote some road safety rules for these little soldier hares. They are perfect backseat drivers, giving orders and imparting advice. I am sure your hare will make you follow the rules, and set your intentions every time. Driving mindfully saves lives. I know Baby Army Hare will also be your Guardian Angel. Keeping you and all the creatures safe.

This hare’s carefully handmade by me from some real Army camo and has an anatomically correct hare tail. Some bits might be tatty and scruffy but hare doesn’t mind in the slightest. Each one is unique and adorable. Who will you choose?

The Story of Drive Safe with Baby Army Hare

It all began many years ago when I was only 7.

I was cycling on a quiet back road in the Highlands of Scotland .  It was a calm sunny day and I spotted something small in the middle of the road. Not moving. As I cycled closer I saw the long ears on the motionless body and my heart sank. There was nothing I could do.

A car had taken the rabbit’s last breath.

I was angry and sad at the same time and questions raced thru my mind – Why didn’t the driver stop? Why wasn’t the driver more careful? and Why didn’t the driver care?

I was only 7 but I was old enough to know it wasn’t right.

 

As an animal lover I know the feeling of being worried and fearful watching the roads ahead like a hawk as you drive.  

Even worse when someone else is driving and hasn’t got their eyes on the road.  It’s like you’re doing two jobs.  Worrying and watching!

And especially on country roads where wild animals abound and the chances of someone darting into the road unexpectedly can be high.

Well, I was tired of feeling like this, so I decided to do something about it.  

I’d already been selling colourful baby hare ornaments successfully from my online shop The Leverets Nest.  (Baby hares are called leverets).  

Being a soldier I also made some from my old uniforms and then I chose a special one for my car. (see his photo on my About page!)

I’d just made my very first Drive Safe with Baby Army Hare Rearview Mirror Charm!  

His eyes glistened brightly as he dangled from my mirror and I could already hear his backseat comments! I jotted down these Rules he wanted me to follow. 

 

Then I decided to set some Intentions – for a safe journey.  

When you set an intention the Universe clearly hears you. Intentions are powerful and work every time.

 

I set them not just for me, but particularly for all the animals and birds I would meet on my journey too. I made it short and snappy and easy to remember.

‘Dear Universe, thank you for the clear roads, even roads and grippy roads. Thank you for my safe journey.’

I was invoking a higher power to come and look over me as I drove. 

-clear roads meaning clear of all animals and birds!

even roads meant avoiding all pot holes and bumps

and grippy roads for when it was wet outside and I needed extra safety and braking power.

 

I say this every time I set off, no matter the distance.  It takes seconds and I just put my trust and faith in the Universe that I am heard.   And it’s always worked for me! – I drive peacefully on miles of clear roads, focused and attentive, safe in the knowledge that all little beasties are being benevolently deterred from coming near!  Truly a relief and a blessing!  Driving mindfully definitely saves lives.  

And if I ever see any irate drivers then I just add this – Thank you for the considerate, careful, compassionate drivers all around me.

 

In my perfect world I imagine every driver doing this before their trip!   Imagine how many animals’ lives would be saved!?  

That would make my secret wish come true!  and bless that little rabbit for leaving a legacy in my heart.  

Being mindful and setting intentions is powerful and really works.
