Two surprises and warm sunshine began my day. Because it was such a beautiful day I headed out to the deck to soak up some vitamin D while I meditated. As always, I begin my meditation with some quick energy tune-ups. When I got to my heart chakra I could tell it felt a bit closed. Focusing on my heart center, I began to bring my emotions to a feeling of joy and gratitude...guaranteed to open the heart. As I was doing this, my cat Red who had been laying on the deck, jumped into my lap and … [Read more...]
Do you honor the little parts?
This past week my cat Samantha reminded me of the importance of honoring all of who we are including our “little parts”. I had walked out by the garage when I saw her with a baby bunny.

Are You Frozen in Fear? Fear Not Said the Bunny.
Honestly it felt a little contrived this morning when Rabbit showed up in my meditation. After all we are approaching Easter and Rabbit showed up last year at this time. Just too obvious. And yet, Thumper, who visited me last year insisted I write,write, write. And of course I did. Here's what Thumper had to share with us today. Thumper: "If you are often looking for what to be afraid of you will not notice the sweet flowers and grasses just waiting to be enjoyed (eaten in my case). If … [Read more...]
Smokey talks about The Hunger Games
My beautiful horse Smokey has his own take on the hunger games. He has taught me a lot about survival and coming from a place of lack. Today he's sharing some of this with you too. But first let me go back a bit so you can get the full picture. Smokey came into my life when he was just six years old off the show track in Tennessee. He was skinny and scarred from the often cruel Tennessee Walking Horse show circuit. With me his life was different. One of the first things I told him (and … [Read more...]
