I recommend Star Origins and Wisdom of Animals: Talks with Animal Souls by Jacquelin Smith more often than any other book in my metaphysical work. So many clients, like me, find love and teachers in their pets and the animals around them. Many of us have experienced pets that were no doubt conscious, sentient […]
My favorite childhood books involved talking animals. That is, they had conversations with each other, not with people. They had rich social lives and lived in harmony with their surroundings. The Mother Westwind Series by Thornton W. Burgess was a favorite, as was Winnie the Pooh, which a neighbor read to her children, and sometimes […]
Many of my clients feel that they do something important in their sleep, but they do not recall what it is. Or perhaps they recall, but don’t understand what is happening. I often refer them to Fringe Dweller on the Night Shift: True Stories from an Afterlife Paramedic by Monica Holy. (As an Amazon Associate, […]
Money is the silent partner in almost everything that we do. There are different ways to deal with it, but as I grew up, I learned that men handled the money and women stayed out of it, a rather old-fashioned approach. Of course, whenever I was single, I handled my own finances. As a single […]
All my pets have a job to do. Having a purpose helps everyone, and pets are no exception. Some pets need an assigned purpose, while others know their job from the moment they enter the household. Jazz was like that. He reported his job to me, not the […]
River received the duck as a gift for her second birthday. All the other dogs like to borrow her for a snuggle now and then, whenever River’s not looking!
I had wanted to visit the Grand Canyon and experience the vastness of the place. I wanted to tune into its energy and feel the sacredness of time. Instead, I was entirely distracted by the hordes of loud people. We heard many languages, and the air of excitement […]
I’ve had a fascination with stars since I was six years old. I had to get up insanely early to go to the hospital to get my tonsils removed. When we stepped out of the house, I was awestruck by a meteor shower that took my breath away. […]
As a child, my favorite Christmas ornaments were birds. For some reason, I thought that birds belonged in trees and they were the perfect décor for a Christmas tree. As an adult, my tree sports keepsake ornaments from my husband’s family and a few gifts, but otherwise, our […]
Things are getting uncomfortable at my house. Jazz is recuperating following his second surgery in a few months to remove malignant melanomas. This surgery was harder on him the second time, and he had to spend the night in the hospital afterward. My husband and I visited […]
As the beginning of the natural year, the winter solstice has been celebrated for thousands of years. Today, we will have a subdued celebration in our home. We had planned a day in nature, reveling in the winter air. We had planned a trip to Rocky Mountain National […]
I missed Jazz in last week’s photos; he wasn’t very cooperative, and all his pictures were blurry. So I ’ve dedicated a post to him. He’s about 95% blind, deaf, arthritic, and almost 16 years old. He had a melanoma removed a couple of months ago and is […]
It has been an intense few weeks here as we navigate through Thanksgiving and my husband and I work diligently to redecorate our 5th-wheel trailer. It’s only a year old, but the dark browns and yellows started to get to us, so we are changing the window coverings, […]
