Something to Cherish...Something to Remember

I've always been a big fan of pets. My Dad is allergic to cats so, as a little girl, I had to borrow the neighbors kittens whenever possible. I didn't have a cat of my own until I moved out...which turned into 6 cats that were all lost, strays, unwanted, etc. We made quite a little family of misfits!
These days I have 2 cats and a 6 month old puppy and I'm fully aware of how much they depend on my husband and I to make sure they are safe, well-fed and healthy. When I received the following in an email yesterday I knew I had to pass it on...and I hope you do the same.


A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS..........
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to
be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment.
You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only
you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your
voice, when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you,
and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy, or uncooperative, ask yourself if
something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food,
I have been in the sun too long, or, my heart might be getting old, or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you
can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier
for me if you are there, because I love you so.

A Different Dream

Manifestation works. I know this to be true because once I stopped being wishy-washy about my dreams and focused on my purpose...cool things started to happen.
I didn't think I was being wishy-washy. I thought I was being cooperative. I thought I was going with the flow. What I didn't understand is that the Universe is like a big mirror. What you put out is reflected back. Your thoughts. Your actions. Your dreams. Your desires.
As soon as I surrendered to my purpose and made it clear what my life-vision was going to be, it was as if all the pieces started to fall into place. Now I'm having fun simplifying so that I can spend more energy on what really counts. How can I help others move through their stress with the tools I've been shown and guided to share?
This blog will turn into a "Dear Abby" of sorts...with one goal in mind. Giving you answers to contemplate and offering guidance as it is given to me; with love, compassion and a deep understanding of the truth behind the old saying, "It's the thought that counts"!

Sending you Tranquility,
Angel
