animals, love, and harmony

A short video clip of  Cesar Millan and Eckhart Tolle talking about the positive energy that dogs (I would extend that to all animals) bring to our lives, showed up in my inbox this morning, and I wanted to share it with you. Sending you all thoughts of harmony, happiness, and fun today! Mary

Ready or not…..

Appreciating my life,  just as it is right now, and also being ready for openings, ideas and events that present themselves as opportunities for more Life, is how I want to live this one life that I've been given. I want to get up every day and say, "I am ready. I may not be…

Solutions

The other day someone was talking about a 3-legged dog that he had recently adopted, and who seemed to be doing really well, but as this man spoke about his dog's background and the bad situation that she came from, he kept saying, "The poor thing" over and over. I finally said, "Consider for a…

The real reason for my trip

I took a quick trip to Manchester yesterday. I needed to pick something up, and get a watch battery replaced for Jack. About a mile from the center of downtown Manchester, I noticed what looked like a dog running along the side of the road. I slowed down, and at that moment, she ran into the…

Dipped in God

I used to go to bed at night, letting my mind wander all over the place until I finally fell into a restless, fitful sleep. In those days, I always woke up still feeling tired. Sleep was necessary, but not refreshing or renewing. The more I began to focus my mind, especially right before I…

an inventory; re-labeling my life

None of our cats have loved getting attention from Luke, but Noah has always been really afraid of him. Yesterday was different. I looked over and saw Luke licking Noah's head, and my first reaction was to shoo him away, but as I waited a second, I realized that Noah was enjoying it. Something changed,…

Dissolving the fear in our minds

Luke is our big, long-haired German Shepherd. He is a goofy, loveable guy who makes the most of his life with 6 cats, none of whom want to play with him. He was born different...he didn't even look like the other puppies in the litter, and by the time he was 6 weeks old, he…

Surprise

I like to treat myself at this time of year. One thing that I particularly like is Ben & Jerry's ice cream, so I bought a pint of Cherry Garcia the other day, ate a bowl full (picked the chocolate and cherries out of the rest of the container) and then gave it to Luke.…

Changing the world, one smile at a time

We had Thanksgiving dinner with our good friends yesterday. We were welcomed with open-arms and hearts, and we could feel it. When someone truly wants to be doing what they are doing, everyone around them benefits. It radiates out like a beacon of love, with the power to change the world, one soft touch, smile,…

Holy…….Is anyone watching the road?!!

I took this photograph while Jack was driving and Luke had put his head up front. I didn't see at the time, that Jack had his eyes closed. Jack is a "relaxed" driver. He looks around, fiddles with things (obviously he closes his eyes too, but I didn't realize this until yesterday!). In the past,…
