Last August I wrote a review for this well-written, emotional, heart fulfilling book. Now you could win a free copy! Don’t miss out! Here are the details!
Frankie, the Walk ‘N Roll Dog Supports Alzheimer’s Association with Book Launch
This past Sunday Libby’s House, where our newest book, Frankie, the Walk ‘N Roll Therapy Dog Visits Libby’s House takes place, hosted a book launch for us. We had a wonderful time!
A big thank you to Tracy Cinealis, Certified Senior Adviser, for all her efforts in promoting this event, as well as David and Tina Thill, owners of Libby’s House. We are happy to say we donated $200 to the Alzheimer’s Association. Some of the patients Frankie and I visit with each month at Libby’s House have Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, so being able to help in some small way was very fulfilling.
Each resident I wrote about in the book had representation of family members at the launch and I was thrilled to gift each of them a copy of our book. It really is an honor and a privilege to be a part of Libby’s House, and they truly do respect mind, body and spirit as they mission statement says.
So here are some photos from the big day– hope you will enjoy!

Writual: Writing the Sacred Kit
As much as I love writing, and writing about animals, I can be such an amazing procrastinator! Recently I bought a product from one of my all time favorite writers and artists, Cynthia Morris, called the Writual Kit. It contains:
Moleskin journal, magic pen, candles and candle holder, writual anointing oil and writual blessings.
So today I was trying to ground myself and complete a piece I am working on about an equine sanctuary I recently visited. For me, I think I freeze in my tracks often because I want to do justice to the stories- and this one is especially dear to my heart because of a disabled horse.
I pulled out my writual kit and decided to give it a try. I turned on some new age music through the internet and the magic of Pandora. I then lit my candle, anointed my wrists and forehead as instructed. I then picked my writual blessing which read, “Permission to write, granted.” It brought tears to my eyes.
Wow, this must be working, I thought. I write better by typing, so did not use the journal or pen, so opened up the document on my computer I had started… and away I went. One hour later, it is complete. Amazing!!
