Earthquake ― Skip Tried To Tell Me

 The neighbor’s dog Skip, always says hello with a gentle bark.  Today was different.  I first thought; he really wants to tell me something.  In my hurried state, because of company staying over, I quickly asked if his people were ok.  He responded they were and continued barking, not of stress or emergency, more of; I really want to tell you something.  At that moment my over night company called my attention.

Skip lived in St. Thomas for several years where earthquakes were a normal occurrence, and was familiar with what was about to happen.  It was later I remembered his thoughts had taking me into the ground.  Being in my thinking mode, I took this to be the workers out side of our building who had been working on corrections from a mud slide.

I told a friend about Skip and so wishing I had given him the time he deserved.  She said back, “Even if he had told you, would you have believed it?  We never have earthquakes.”  I realized to some degree she was right.  I then remembered we never have mud slides, and in my minds eye had seen one in the back of our townhome months before it happened.  I did not believe then either.

In these times paying close attention to animals, nature and our instincts is important on many levels―particularly when it does not seem to make sense.

Our Animals Give Us Great Feedback 

My dear friend, Suzette Faith Foster, provided a beautiful and loving home for me to stay in for my appearances in Raleigh and Cary N.C.  Suzette shared what she learned in her latest e-news letter Thrive Now. With Suzette’s permission, her perception has been included in this news letter.  I, in turn, share how Suzette’s healing gift supported my family and father who recently passed.

I must include, it was Suzette’s cat, Precious, that brought us together.  Precious created a big domino effect bringing growth and opportunities in countless ways for the two of us and numerous others.

Our Animals Give Us Great Feedback

By Suzette Faith Foster 

Our animal’s behavior and illnesses remind us that the vibration we walk around with affects them. Their behavior is direct feedback to what is going on in our minds and households. I was at two events recently with Karen Wrigley, an animal communicator. Participants received individual examples of how animals sense our energy field and mirror our fears, emotions and thoughts. Their behavior can teach us to look within, find balance in our lives and release false beliefs. We are attracted to the animals whose personalities are perfect for the lessons our souls want to learn.  

The animals that spoke through Karen reminded us to truly love ourselves. They made it clear that we are to have fun and to laugh more and to see the divine Being that we are instead of the limited person we grew up believing we are. They reminded us that we often look outside of ourselves for answers when with quiet time and reflection answers will be revealed from within. Their wisdom can reveal pertinent information regarding our health, relationships, life styles or just ways that our thoughts are communicated to them. One in a family of four cats shared how his two adults have confusing opinions. When they would put the cats out for the night, this cat would hide under the bed not wanting to go out. Karen’s reading revealed that this cat was the husband’s favorite– they had been together before the marriage. He would agree verbally that all the cats should be out at night but emotionally he didn’t want his favorite cat to leave. The cat felt this energy and confusion and would hide under the bed. When the husband understands his role in the cat’s behavior he can adjust his attitude.

  Before and after my appearance in Raleigh, my father was close to passing over.  In this time frame, Suzette included my father, family and me in her healing sessions.  My family and nurses could not understand why he was not passing over.  It seemed obvious to us it was time, and had been for several weeks.  I have to admit, I was a bit selfish, I hoped he would wait til I returned from Raleigh.

My father was close to receiving an inheritance.  If he passed before it was put in his name, my mother would not receive it.  Suzette did not know this, she simply puts her healing work in God’s hands.  Four days after I returned from my stay with Suzette, my father was given his inheritance.  We so wanted our father to be in peace earlier on, yet the inheritance was a blessing to my mother.  The next day while my family and father were wrapped in Suzette’s healing session my father passed over.

I have taken notice that my family and I handled the weeks before, at death, and now, with greater ease than one might expect.    Thank you Suzette for your love and support.

Happy is Happy and Sad is Sad

Happy is happy and sad is sad.  One can not fool an animal which one you are.  I have heard many say, I’m fine, Okay, I am making my way.  This is not truly happy. Happy is a state of the mind. And it is possible to be happy in spite of what one is experiencing or sees.

A terrier named Scout said, Keep doing it (being happy) — you will get it and it will be close to the way of life I like to live innately. We mirror you because you are the ones we look up to, and it is our job to show you who you truly are being. We are also the ones who are trying to show you it is important to be happy. It is simple:  To be happy is active, not passive. Also, happiness is not always what “you” thought happy would be for you….following innate happiness can lead one to something better than you thought  it could be.

Purple People Eater

An interesting thing has happened on my way through the past several months.  I have been sharing more deliberate information that speaks not only of thinking out of the box in which we live, but living outside of the box.  Life is taking on a new paradigm.  I have read about this from many sources, the animals speak of it, and most importantly, I feel it in my bones. I am learning to embrace an easier, trusting way of living―living in the present.
I find circumstances that used to bother or upset me, do not. A big one is―there are close people in my life that may be passing over. Now and then I feel a tinge of fear or grief, but then quickly go to what the other side is about and I become happy for them―sometimes, I which could be there too.  To not fear death, it has been said, is the end of all fears.  Yet I have more to learn.
In the past few days I have had important emails disappear.  I spent many an hour looking for them, not to be found.  I asked for guidance, and from my spiritual ear, I heard: Purple People Eater.  (Yes, you read that correctly.)  An inquisitive smile came to my face.  And I thought I was going to write a message from an animal.  I got the Purple People Eater!  I guess in some form this purple beast could be associated with the animal kingdom.
I researched Purple People Eater.  The words come from a song from 1958, a silly whimsical fun song. The short version of what this message meant to me:  lighten up, have fun.  The color purple is associated with the higher realms, let it consume or eat my mucky energy.  All will work out fine in spite of losing my emails.  And it did.
Another version:  Don’t be eaten up by the Purple People Eater, or don’t let obstacles in life eat you up.  The lost emails were consuming me.
With that said:
1.     To those who emailed me and did not hear back, if you wish to send a second letter, please do.
2.     In my last news letter I gave a message from a cat that was sleeping more and had oily hair.  To the lady whose email got eaten up, that made the comment that when a cat sleeps more and its hair becomes oily, it is a sign of illness and should be checked by a veterinarian:  I thank you for your comment, a valid one.  I apologize I do not have your specific words.
Once again expect the unexpected.  And now I will draw a picture of the Purple People Eater and post it on my wall…a reminder.
I ask, what is going on in your life the Purple People Eater should feast on?
