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 […]
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 “nominating” me, Anita! I wanted to share Free Life by Dan Wilson with you. I love the way it […]
Sometimes you can feel the richness of the earth and the vitality of the natural world around you. I don’t feel that when I’m downtown, but I can feel it a little in my back yard. It feels strongest when I’m away from the city, somewhere with more […]
I had to take Sugar, our Goffin’s Cockatoo, to the avian veterinarian across the city because he was breathing hard and making funny noises with each breath. When we stepped out of the car, storm clouds were rolling in. We never felt the hail or rain, as it […]
Russell Sprout was our gardener, and I put in a garden for many years just for him. He loved visiting the plants, encouraging and admiring them. He took credit for all our successes as we harvested grapes, tomatoes, tomatillos, and peppers. He spent a lot of time in […]
My husband and I visited Devils Tower, Wyoming about 20 years ago, and we returned again this spring a week or two ago with our camper. It isn’t impressive from a distance like the Rocky Mountains are, but when you get up close, it can be dramatic. Devil’s […]
In the spring, I pass a group of planters by my office that are full of pansies. They are bright, cheerful and resilient. It snows, sleets, rains, and freezes, yet the pansies come back again and again. I’ll pass them in the morning and they are wilted and […]
