This is an article I wrote previously, when I was between my first bichon Patsy and my girls now, Gracie and Lucie. I have found no matter how many dogs you know, none are alike. Dogs are like snowflakes, only much larger and warmer. This may seem like a tribute, (and probably is) but it is my accounting of her presence in my life, what I appreciated the most.
Who am I now, without a living dog, present in my life? I find that I do not have the excited frenzy of the possibility of meeting new people, meeting strangers that …

What happens when pets die? This is my experience of it. I have a faith built from experience, a faith because it a feeling unseen. Faith lends itself to dogma; we can’t pass feelings around the room like we can photographs. It’s not something that you can look at and say well this color’s black and this color’s purple. This has been my experience from years of working with animals on this side & the other side.
The Universe runs with a precision that comes from order. With order, it always seems there are rules. A protocol if you …

The rule I was taught about working hard, physical labor, being a path to abundance, happiness and joy is not always (or is it ever?) true. What is true is that we must trust our hearts: that voice within us that speaks to us to write, to dance, and to take a nap, regardless of the monetary rewards.
If we can do that we may experience a real miracle, that of following our hearts, our spirit’s yearning, and a whole different definition of hard work. Having the courage to listen to what is specific to your soul, “the different drummer” so to speak, is not comfortable.

Spending time with a pet can lower anxiety, and stress levels. Walking with a pet helps to sooth nerves and offers instant relaxation. This has been proven world-wide, the impact of a stressful situation is lesser on pet owners

A continuing issue I have heard thru out my life is. “Which can you get closer to: a horse or a dog?” Now that I am an intuitive, another question added to the first is “who are more sensitive, dogs or horses?”
Let me start by saying that all animals have angels and guides, just like humans do.
Both sides of this issue have merit. A dog lives inside with most owners. They have access to your bedroom, your bed. A dog looks at you admiringly, hanging on your every movement, every word and look. From my communication, I …

The rainbow bridge is a theory that has received a lot of acceptance. When Patsy died, the vet clinic sent me a card about that she was at the rainbow bridge. This actually amazed me. When it comes to religion, I am always stunned at what is accepted across all faiths and what is taken exception to. I am not totally sure completely of what the rainbow bridge is. What the poem that goes with it says is that the dogs and cats go to the edge of heaven and they wait for us and then we all cross …

Undone projects weigh us down, draining energy from us. The ironic thing is, that this stuff HAS TO BE DONE, and so by putting it off we rob ourselves of energy, lower our self esteem, and allow opportunities to pass us by

“Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this.” Anon
“The Egyptians believed that cats were the God’s of joy. If so, kittens are their minions.”
A. We see earthbound spirits, i.e. ghosts. That means when I am looking over in the corner at the ceiling, I am not being spacey or freaking out.
B. Some food we like, some we don’t. Does that make us finicky or practical? If a human doesn’t like Broccoli, is he finicky?
C. We want a lot more variety than a can of something with the same old gravy on it. (By the …

All illness starts in the emotional/spiritual body and if it’s not rectified, will manifest in the physical body. The physical body is amirror of what is going on in our emotional state and our beliefs.

What if this IS a world of plenty: with more than enough to go around- but only by sharing it the way Jesus did with the loaves and fishes? That by giving to others we in no way diminish but actually strengthen ourselves? That the safer future, is not a strong military, not a retirement account of money in the stock market, but a future where actual LIFE is valued?
