Thank you for remembering we are all connected—not just to our pets and human relatables. The global mess we’re in is the outward expression of humanity’s disconnect from our empathetic animal selves. Please be vegan. Not just for the sake of goats. But for all our sake.
The Human-Animal Self
Animal Voices are not Weird Animal Noises
An awesome video invoked a knee jerk reaction in me so strong that I have to immediately make noise here about the word, noise, in the reel’s headline, “Weird Animal Noises”. A cute, but unjustified choice of words to describe the heartfelt sounds of the animals shown. My initial mission in 2003 to come out […]
May Be How Birds do It
Normally, but not always, it was unbearable for me to sit outside on this disheveled acre in nature with even just a neighbor’s hyperactive leaf-blower insulting my senses. This morning, however odd, I walked up the same hill with the same cup in hand, and was this time, astonished to feel at peace in the midst […]
Rehabs for Meat Addicts
I could have used the support of a rehab while I was in recovery from meat addiction in 1978. It was pretty lonely back then. Now, you can go online and instantly receive support and encouragement if you’re a vegan newbie, or wannabee. Thanks to All Creatures posting yesterday an article about the new book, […]
Almost Quit Veganism for Happy Organic Pasture Cows
Sometimes, I’m only human in forgetting that I’m an animal. When I disconnect from my sacred primal self, not only do I feel bored, I crave creamy comfort foods to nurture me in my dead zone. Today, during my disconnect with myself, my instant target fix was on butter. Online, I found Organic Pastures. I […]
Coming to Our Senses Re: Animal Intelligence
An old Scientific American article on animal intelligence, is largely about whales and the need for us to come to our senses in how we view animals. Reading it again is for me a soothing validation of what many of us know to be true about animals. And a confirmation of my own ‘sense-abilities’ as a small […]
Who’s the True Alpha Dog Here?
We get stuck in human mindsets. We look at a dog bullying and chasing other dogs. We think, wow, that’s a true alpha dog. We don’t question if that dog is in his true power. We don’t look beneath his bravado to see if he might in fact be scared and putting up a false […]
Animal communicators are skilled experts in animal communication, but sometimes only human in what they tell you.
Again, the limits of human logic: One late night, I got an emergency call from a client to tell me his cat had been missing for 3 days. He was freaked out, to say the least. I didn’t have the heart to ask him to wait until morning for a session when I would be […]
Animals are Our Best Communicators
Clear. Honest. Precise. To the point, with corresponding heartfelt emotion driving their point home. That’s an animal for you. You don’t have to be a professional animal communicator like me to know that. Nonhuman animals don’t put up smokescreens that lay heavily on our hearts snuffing out moments of Truth. We do. We’re polite. Each […]
Who’s That Ape in My Mirror?
I just signed a petition asking Air France to stop transporting primates for research labs. Not that any of us are totally innocent of the extreme cruelty inflicted on animals more or less a strand or two away from being human. Using primates, or any feeling, sensitive, heart-based animal – mice included – in research […]
