Goodbye 9-Year Cycle
It Was an Ordinary Morning… I was on my daily walk in the park with Dazzle and Po when it hit me: 2016 is a “9” year, which means that in a few weeks, we’ll be completing a nine-year cycle. Yikes! For some reason, the weight of it hit me and felt very profound. I…

The Buffalo Oracle Card
How can we find PEACE when we’re surrounded by violence? Last month, I spoke with an American Buffalo in the Animal Wisdom Circle.

The Power of Love
A Sanctuary is a Place Filled with LOVE I spent the day yesterday at the Home At Last Animal Sanctuary in Yankee Hill, California.
