Holiday Cheer

Hope you are having a happy holiday. It is possible to find a bit of beauty and joy! For example, here is a redo of the Drifters version of White Christmas, as channeled by the Navy (weird, but they are almost better than the Drifters … amazing).

 

And here is a rhumba version of Beethoven – increible! Beethoven in Havana

 

Your Questions

Answers to some questions submitted by students, clients and readers over the past few months.

 

Can You Spell Treat?

This is my blue tick beagle dog, Norman, running around in my yard and then charging over when I say ” Want a treat”. He is 15 now and still acts like he is two. What is the secret? Organic real food diet and holistic care. If you want to schedule a half hour session with me I can discuss with you how I manage my dogs, cats and horses and get you the links to the holistic resources I use.

 

Start the Year Right – Follow Your Dream
I believe that if you do what your heart is calling you to do, you will be happy in life. My heart is now saying, do the novel do the novel.. and yes I am working on it. If your heart is telling to you do Animal Communication, just know that it is possible for you to get good at it and do it as a business if that is your dream. People in my Animal Communicator Master Training Program are gaining amazing confidence and expertise and moving really quickly through the program, some have completed it in 4 to 6 months. Here is the link to the description of my Animal Communicator Master Training Program. If you want to discuss the program please get in touch.

 

Horse Leaders

The link that follows is a blog post that suggests that horses don’t really have a hierarchy in the wild. Link to post about horse leadership While I agree that competition for food and therefore aggression in the herd is probably low in wild horses, I do believe there is a hierarchy that is part of herd protection behavior, which exists in all herds – wild and domestic. The lead horses watch out for the rest of the herd and will sound the alarm if there is danger. The lead horses therefore must be heeded and if a horse does not watch for these cues the leaders will nip, chase or otherwise set the inattentive member straight, basically saying… ‘You need to keep an eye out for me’. This is the theory behind the techniques of my favorite trainer, Carolyn Resnick who spent three summers as a teen observing and hanging out with a herd of wild horses in Southern California. To learn more about her amazing adventure, read her book, Naked Liberty. Her training uses the behaviors she observed in wild horse interactions to get your horse to see you as a leader. Her technique is completely nonviolent and does not involve using halters or lead ropes or round pens.

 

Deer and Christmas

Graphic is from article below.

Here is an interesting article about deer in prehistory and their significance as a symbol, especially at wintertime.

Of course like everything else now , reindeer are endangered….

Hope for the New Year

Against all odds I do have hope that the new year will bring good tidings. If for no other reason than that a whole lot of people have woken up to what is going on on and to the earth. I continue to say that whatever happens to save this planet will have to be something “out of the box” It is my hope that 2017 will bring those solutions.
