Have you ever wondered how I get the information for these blogs? I had a reader ask me recently if I asked the animals the questions or if they just volunteered the information. It’s yes to both. Often I go into meditation and just ask what wants to be shared. Sometimes, I am curious about something or an event has brought something to my attention that I want more information on so I ask who might have something to share. Other times I might ask somebody (like Smokey) a specific question … [Read more...]
Stopping Panic in its Tracks
This past summer I received a call from a woman in panic...literally. She was in the midst of a panic attack and called me for help.

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...]
