Full Disclosure...This is a post from 10/2010. Today I am choosing to take care of myself...much like Red demonstrated a few weeks ago by resting and offering you this article on choosing. One of the most important lessons I've ever learned is that there is always choice. We always have a choice in any situation even if the choice is how we perceive the situation. When we don't recognize we have a choice we feel very disempowered. When we believe we are powerless it feels horrible. I … [Read more...]
A declaration on consciousness and intelligence in animals

First I saw him climbing up … [Read more...]
Are full moons making you and your animals looney?
As we come out of this full moon in Aquarius I wanted to share with you some of my own experiences and thoughts about full moons and how they can affect us and our animals. I've always considered myself a Looney girl. That is, I have always been affected by the waxing and waning of the moon. Full moons can have varying effects for me.
