Yesterday I posted (on FB & insta) about my painful experience during intense dental work. I hesitated to post about something unpleasant but then I thought it’s part of life and everyone experiences pain at some points, whether it’s physical or emotional. And that is a place where our animal companions are always here for us. ❤️Sometimes there are things we don’t want to mention because they are sad, or we don’t want to cry in front of others (or on social media) but we can cry in front of our animals. We allow them to lick our tears. They see us at our best and on our worst days and love us unconditionally either way and in between. The second photo on here is the most important to me-the first one is a symbol of spring renewal, beauty and nature’s healing powers, but the second is personal 💕it shows the first sight I saw (& felt) this morning. Merlin slept attached to me all night making sure I was ok and if I moved, he moved with me to make sure he was pressed against me the whole time. (Gracie does this too but last night she was holding space/energy instead and came to snuggle at a different time.) I am just filled with gratitude to have these incredible beings of pure love in my life calling me their mom. They really do make everything better. ✨❤️
 ❤️I went to the post office 📬last week and there was a large crow eating something (like spilled fries) in a parking spot. This was a pretty prime parking spot, but I noticed the bird eating so I went around & parked in a different row. A minute later, as I was about to get out of my car, some guy had pulled into the initial spot and the crow was sort of glaring at him from the top of the car next to it. I looked at the crow in total understanding, mentally sending a feeling of “I get it-sorry someone rudely interrupted your lunch!”) I’m not sure if the guy even noticed the crow or if he was absentmindedly going about his errands, possibly texting & driving. These are things that give me pause in my daily life, because I see how easily humans assume our needs come first, whether by conscious choice or by not thinking about it/not noticing other species and their needs. I would love to hear thoughts on this? How do we transcend the perceived species hierarchy? I believe we do it with love, and often our companion animals are the catalyst because they teach us with their unconditional love that opens our hearts to them & in turn can lead to opening our hearts to all species.
 Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day here in the US, and this day is a celebration of all love, not only romantic love. It’s a great day to remind our animal companions how much we love them.It can also be a difficult day for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Animals in spirit often tell me that they feel it when their human’s heart is sad and the image I received to explain how they help was that of a kitty purring love into our hearts, 💜healing them. Sometimes a dog will show me almost like they are massaging our hearts with their paws sending love into it and one bird showed her wings surrounding her person like angel wings. Our animal companions will be with us on Valentine’s, (and other special occasions,) whether they are here physically or in spirit.
I traveled to Tucson at the end of January to visit with friends and to attend the annual gem & mineral show for the first time. Tucson holds a lot of emotional layers for me because it is where we were living (for 3 years) when we adopted our first cat sons Juneau & Jarvis in 1998 from the Tucson Humane Society. They were both black cats and as it happened our friends that we stayed with had recently adopted their own second lovely black cat last year (center photo) so while there I was able to spend time with them as well as their sweet tabby brother & dog sister. It tugged at my heart to see them first thing in the morning while making coffee & seeing the desert landscape out the window. The first night, the youngest black cat came into our room and as soon as I opened my suitcase, he went straight for a pouch I had packed with a few crystals in it! He dug under some clothes, retrieved the pouch and took it out. I was amazed & a bit surprised, even though maybe I shouldn't have been, because most animals love crystal energy.
The Tucson Gem & Mineral show was incredible, and I may need to do a few separate posts just on it. For those of you who love crystals, if you've never been, it is well worth it. It was a magical experience beyond compare and I was so fortunate to get to do so with beautiful dear friends. One of the days, hiking at Sabino Canyon, Juneau & Jarvis, (in spirit) were telling me to breathe in the fresh air, to inhale deeply. My last morning there I woke up with the sun (very rare for a night owl like me) because I kept hearing these winds and wanted to experience them outside. It was awe inspiring to feel the powerful wind. The winds of change - (one of my very favorite songs ever-the live version where Morten Harket from A-ha joins the Scorpions.) I sat outside for about two hours allowing the winds to fully cleanse my energy and it felt incredible. Afterwards a hawk flew by right in front of me. The crystal photo on the left is a Moldavite, which is one of my favorites. It has lovely star energy and can be felt strongly if one is sensitive to energy. To me it feels comforting. I am still getting to know the crystals that I brought home. One of my favorite things was watching Merlin & Gracie Belle check them out. I had the crystals on the floor while getting organized and they just wanted to lay on them like little dragons guarding their treasures. One of the treasures that the desert "Winds of Change" brought for me was to allow room for surprises. Sometimes we have an idea of how plans we make are going to unfold, but when we allow for the universe to surprise us and trust that flow, things can turn out even more amazing than imagined. |
