Normal Things

She hasn’t left the house in over four months—healing an active breed dog has been a lesson in patience, of which I have none, never have, but of love for her, my heart is always full. 

So, today it was time. We relinquished all responsibilities and put Valkyrie in the car for a much needed return to normalcy—windows down, radio up, and a ride around her favorite spots gave us all a good soul recharge. It literally brought tears to my eyes. 

Still the healing journey continues. Her exposed quick is slowly, slowly getting better. She’s still knuckling so any progress she makes is erased almost on a daily basis—again, a lesson in patience. But today, she was joyful and we were all happy, doing normal things which no one, especially I, will never take for granted. 

I hope you all are well and being grateful for Life’s seemingly mundane things, they are the things worth living for, after all.

We Don’t Deserve Dogs

The bird feeders have been empty for months. The lawnmower died, so the grass is overgrown. The mood in the house, heavy and stagnant—reeking of an infected wound that seems to have permeated every porous surface, its odor tattooed into my sinus cavity, forever intertwined with my amygdala, never to be forgotten. 

Sweet amber eyes bore deeply into mine this morning as if to will me the strength to make it through another day, as if to say…you’ve got this. This precious soul, who I don’t deserve, whose existence has been an utter hell these last three months, gives me more than I could ever possibly give to her. Her love is perfect and unconditional. Her tail still wags and she still greets the day with lively enthusiasm of what will be—even though she suffers. In this, we can all learn a lesson from our beloved dogs. 

So. Time to wag my tail and go greet the day, and it is beautiful.

The Shift

Don’t let the events of the World distract you and steal your focus. It’s all a stage, smoke and mirrors. Breathe. Center. Remember, where focus goes, energy flows. 

The shift is happening—this is our awakening—and if you don’t know what I’m talking about then you need to heed the call of your inner voice and connect with Spirit. This is THE time for amplified soul growth, for quantum leap soul growth. Be fully present in this moment and exclaim your gratitude to the Universe for Life! 

We were born for this: to illuminate the darkness with our Light, to bring Hope to the hopeless, to release the curses and traumas of our ancestors stored deep within the walls of our double helix, to step fully into our Christ Consciousness and be consumed by unconditional Love and to experience the Oneness of All—Divine Source Energy.

Everything outside of You is an illusion. Truth lies within. 

You are loved and you are never alone. Be well. ♥️
