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…
Wisdom from a Butterfly and Guided Meditation
What an enlightening conversation with the BUTTERFLY in the Animal Wisdom Circle this month! The Butterfly we connected with was a female Glasswing Butterfly living in Costa Rica. She told us she chose this butterfly species to reincarnate in several times so she could really learn her lesson of non-attachment. It was super interesting! She…
The Asian Elephant Oracle Card
How do Patience, Faith and Connectedness help us? As a spiritual messenger, the Asian Elephant tells us to have faith, be patient and know that we are never alone.

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. There, I fell in love over and over and over again – immediately loving each rescued animal that I met, starting with the alpacas and dogs and donkeys and working through…
American Buffalo – Animal of the Month
I never know where the inspiration for my next Animal Wisdom conversation will come from. This month, it came from seeing a photo of an American Buffalo in a friend’s Facebook feed! I had been planning on talking to a different animal in the next Animal Wisdom Circle call and I knew immediately that it…
Elephant Dreams Coming True
The Power of Intention When I was an aspiring Marine Biologist, I would always sign up to work on New Year’s Day at the Dolphin Research Center where I was a volunteer. It was my way of affirming to myself and the world that studying dolphins was important to me and being with them was…
Having Fun Talking to Animals
I guess it can happen to anyone, anytime – taking yourself and your work too seriously. It happened to me. Forgetting Who I Am I found myself daydreaming about talking to animals and having funny conversations with them – and then I remembered that I am an Animal Communicator! I *can* talk to animals and if I want…
