I just came across the most wonderful, fun, interactive website! http://www.myinnerworld.com. Be sure to take the guided journey. The music under the meditation tree is so relaxing and tranquil. There is colorastrology which I found to be very interesting. This site is like a trip to nature without leaving your home. Being in nature is a way to clear your mind and reconnect and reflect on what really matters in life. This site does that for you for days you can’t get to nature. By the way, I do not make money off promoting this site… I just happen to think it is so awesome! If you have a chance to visit this site, let me know what you think.
Now for my book recommendation. I just finished reading, "It’s Okay to Miss the Bed on the First Jump" by John O’Hurley. What a treat! It is funny and at the same time John gets to the heart of what it means to have dogs in your life. He is open to watching and observing what dogs teach us… and they are always teaching us if we are willing to learn. His sense of humor will have you laughing out loud and his soft side will have you shedding a tear. Here is a section from the beginning of the book that I love: "As humans, we tend to expose our goodness in glimpses. Dogs, however, live closer to their essence, and they are more constant in their goodness. Perhaps, that is why God gives them to us- as teachers, to stay by our sides in quiet vigil, undisturbed by worry or regret, and to show us how to live each moment as it comes. I am a much better person with a dog in my lap."
John’s book makes me want to write my own book someday about my journey with my dogs, which I have had in my head for the last 2 1/2 years… one of these days, it will spill to the pages. For now, Frankie’s book continues, with dreams of at least two more children’s books… but I am grateful for authors who share their thoughts on dogs because it warms my heart like no others.
