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 […]
October 4 is the day of the Blessing of the Animals, in honor of St. Francis. I am fully on board for blessing animals on this day and every day. This is a metaphysical blessing of all animals, even humans. We ask the God/Goddess/All That Is to bless […]
During the four-and-a-half weeks that Nami was missing (see Nami on the Loose here), my husband and I took many trips to the local shelter to see if she had been brought in. I enjoyed petting all the cats, and if they did not indicate they wanted to […]
Nami, our 13-year-old Bengal cat went missing in late July. She is an indoor cat with access to our backyard through the pet door, but our backyard is protected with The Cat Fence . (The current Cat Fence shown in the link looks like prison fencing; our 15-year-old […]
I was raised drinking tea, and coffee is out of the question for me; I don’t like the smell and just can’t make myself drink it. I’m happy with tea, but, well, I’d found myself getting bored. Eating is complicated and dull sometimes with food restrictions like […]
We returned to The Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark after a 15-year absence. The mile and a half hike to the site seemed easier this time, and we didn’t run into the same violent afternoon storms as we did last time. Of course, we went a little earlier […]
It was just an innocent walk to a sacred site in the Big Horn mountains of northern Wyoming. We hadn’t even gone very far when I heard a marmot alarming to our right. I was a bit surprised because the marmots was a comfortable distance away and we […]
I was surprised recently to be “nominated” by Anita Bowden for The Three-Day Lyrical Challenge. I enjoy the spiritual but not religious bent to her blog. Thank you for thinking of me, Anita! This is my second lyrical post. I chose The Body of Love by Ben Lee, […]
