Appreciation

I will start with this-- Thank you to the many teachers that are coming forward in my life. Thank you Anke for breath and joy, thank you Juli for your open heart, thank you Epala herd for love and acceptance, thank you Beth for never ending love, support, and friendship. Thank you Gracie for your love, joy and grace. Thank you Shawn for your support and open mind. Thank you Jas for your humor and courage in this time of your transition. Thank you to all my animal friends that continue to light my path and support me as I grow.

I completed last week with a trip up to Hayward. It was there that I forged new relationships. It was there I discovered part of myself in a different light. The weekend left me feeling love, joy, groundedness, centeredness, and connection to life in a whole new way. I came away with such contentment about where I am in life. I can literally breathe better! I discovered through my breath how I can truly slow down. I didn't realize until this weekend what it really meant to slow down. Through this 'slow down' I feel better connection with the Earth,  myself, and with other beings.

I am so happy to say that Gracie (my Mom's cat) brought five little souls into this world this morning. Such a beautiful gift! There is so much love and joy present. Gracie showed me what it means to open my heart to love and joy. It is such a gift to be part of her little kittens life.

As with all things that come into this world they must leave at some point. As of Sunday morning we are in the final chapters of Jasper's life here with us. I don't know how much time is left. He is 14 years old and that is OLD by bunny standards. I would consider him to be in hospice care now. We have had our shares of laughs in the last 11 years. He has put every one of our dogs in their place, he supported Murphy when he only had three legs, and he ruled the house too. I want nothing more than for his soul to leave this world very much loved. After my weekend in Hayward I have much more clarity about life. I am able to find the love and beauty in this time of transition. There is no more fear about death. That fear will do nothing to support a beautiful part of life. I have chosen to support his transition with the crystals chiastolite and kyanite. These will help him find the light and have peace with the process. I have never had an animal transition on their own in my care. This is a new experience for me and with Gracie's kittens this completes the circle of life. I will keep you updated about his transition and any insights that come to light. For now he is very much loved and care for and that is all that matters.
