\"\"<\/a>A client was sharing with me the other day that her life has taken on a new purpose, a new direction\u00a0as a result of her horses.\u00a0 Because her gelding has had digestive issues she was guided to learn all she could about natural care and feeding for horses.\u00a0 Then her mare developed a hindend lameness\u00a0whose\u00a0recovery\u00a0perplexed the vets.\u00a0 She has sought out conventional and alternative means to help this horse and in the end, learned of her own gifts to help with massage, energy work and more.\u00a0\u00a0 She is now studying to be an equine bodywork practitioner.\u00a0 She is learning all she can about biomechanics, anatomy,\u00a0Reiki and anything that will help her bring her mare back to soundness.\u00a0 Her life has been given new direction because of the challenges she faced with the animals in her care.<\/p>\n

Some might describe this as being inspired.\u00a0 And it is inspiration. But it is also, in my opinion, divine direction.\u00a0 I believe our souls have contracts with other souls, yes, even our animal companion souls, that sometimes lead us to find what we are really here to do.\u00a0 We may have begun walking our life one way only to have the love and needs of an animal companion spin us into a new direction.<\/p>\n

It certainly happened to me.\u00a0 It started with Boo Boo, my Lhasa Apso that joined me as I left college.\u00a0 It took years before I would learn that his many health issues were due to a food allergy.\u00a0 With almost nothing produced commercially that he could eat I began researching and then cooking his own food.\u00a0 Then along came Tiger.\u00a0\u00a0 I recognized the signs of food allergies immediately with him so he didn’t need to suffer…well at least not from food allergies.\u00a0 Eventually my desire to give him the best life led me to a raw diet.\u00a0 Back in the early 90’s not a lot of people or vets embraced this concept.\u00a0 Tiger continued to have some health challenges which led me to another vet, one who embraced the raw diet.\u00a0 I will never forget that first visit.\u00a0 He looked at Tiger’s records (they were extensive) and said, “you feed him a raw diet but you are still vaccinating him every year?”\u00a0 And I said, “Well, what do you mean?\u00a0 Of course, I have been told that is what I should do.”\u00a0 And thus began my research and revelation into the problems of over vaccination.\u00a0 When I reviewed his records more closely I immediately saw the correlation between his spring shots and his bouts of bloody diarrhea.\u00a0\u00a0 On to more research.<\/p>\n

Smokey also took me on a path of learning all I could\u00a0about natural hoof care to help with his misshapen hooves created from his early years in the Tennessee Walking Horse Show industry.\u00a0 He taught me a great deal about what a horse needs to stay happy, sound and healthy.<\/p>\n

Both Tiger and Smokey were there to wake me up to my ability to communicate with the animals as well.\u00a0 They worked tirelessly to get my attention and finally I listened.\u00a0So eventually, with the divine direction of my animals, I left a career in marketing and business and here I am.\u00a0 It was never on my radar screen before they came into my life.<\/p>\n

This is not unusual.\u00a0 I have heard\u00a0many other similar stories.\u00a0\u00a0Someone\u00a0is challenged with a health issue or behavior issue that leads them to research and before they know it their life has changed.\u00a0 Of course this happens in many ways in our lives.\u00a0 Oftentimes a tragedy sends someone on a mission to ensure it doesn’t happen to someone else.\u00a0 Or someone (two legged or four legged) comes into our lives and inspires us to reach further, dig deeper and somehow pull out that hidden fire within us to follow a passion.\u00a0 This is when life gets really exciting.<\/p>\n

What about you?\u00a0 Have you been divinely directed?\u00a0 Feel free to share your stories here….in the comment section.\u00a0 Who knows, maybe you are here to divinely direct someone else today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
