Updated & More User-Friendly Pick An Animal Card for Inspiration

I discovered a more user-friendly way for you to try out my Animal Reflections Healing Oracle deck if you’d like and I’m excited to share the update with you!

The Pick-A-Card page is now updated on my website. The gist of it is that I’ve now numbered all the cards. Plus now you click on the Random Generator Number link for a number to be chosen at random. You then go back to the Pick-A-Card page and choose that card number for your message.

Just this morning I gave it a whirl asking what I needed to know today. I received Pelican and the message of expansion. While this Pick-a-Card version is an excerpt from the guidebook that accompanies the deck it was the first paragraph that stood out to me, and especially the last line:

Each day, Pelican’s large bill scoops up what they need in order to nourish themselves. Perhaps it’s time to make room in your life for a daily practice. Not only will this provide you with a refreshing sustenance, but it will help you release what you no longer need to carry.

This is what I’ve been doing of late – releasing what I no longer wish to carry. And some of this in the past few days has been around ancestral work. I ended up creating an altar with acknowledgement of my ancestors and allowing the grief to move through me which definitely has me feeling lighter in spirit.

So Pelican’s message was a confirmation of the inner work that started out feeling heavy, that once released, has made me feeling a sense of more expansion in my being.

How important it is I’m reminded yet again of nourishing ourselves, from the inside out. And sometimes all it takes is a quick, short message that can be so beneficial.

So if you’d like to give it a try, please do. And if you feel like sharing what animal you got, I’d love to hear!

Project of Love Complete. Art that Supports Dogs in Need.

When I was in the process of creating my Animal Reflections Healing Oracle deck over two years ago it wasn’t on my radar that the originals of each card would eventually support a local dog rescue.

It was after a local non-profit, LaValley Home and Garden, approached me last December about carrying some of my other art in their shop that would support a local dog rescue, that another idea came to me to part with the originals from my animal oracle deck.

While I was initially a bit sad to part with them, I was excited about the prospect of helping raise some money for a rescue that cares for special needs, senior, and hospice dogs, called Albert’s Dog Lounge.

And so it became a labor of love as I took each card that was created on a 2.75 x 4.75 wooden template and mounted them on a 6 x 6 wooden panel, with coordinating paper background and added some gem stones to give them a bit of sparkle. On the back of each one is the message from each animal also as written in the guidebook to the deck and signed by me.

Connecting with each animal as I re-created them in a whole new way was a gift to revisit with each cards meaning and now I offer them as a gift you can give to yourself or someone you care about.

You can see some of the designs above, but there are many more on my website here. A portion of each piece sold will benefit Albert’s Dog Lounge.
