2018 Animal Wisdom World Summit On-Line Event. You Are Invited!

You, my friends, are invited to this free event!

I’m super excited to be one of the speakers for the 2018 Animal Wisdom World Summit. It runs from August 27th-31st.  And the great thing is you don’t have to leave home to learn from so many wonderful experts because it’s all happening on-line.

Author, Intuitive, and Coach, Dr. Cara Gubbins is the host of this event. My interview will be on Wednesday, August 29th at 2:00pm cst/noon pst/1:00pm est.  

Please note, when you register, which you can do here, you will see a line-up of the speakers here and the day/time you can catch them which are listed as PST.  

All interviews will be live for 24-hours. Be sure to listen to Dr. Cara’s video after you register, in the event you wish to purchase all the interviews after they have aired. She has made it very affordable to do so.

I’m truly honored to be among many of my friends who will also be sharing their expertise, such as Dawn Brunke, animal communicator, Joe Dwyer, animal advocate, and Pam Kachelmeier, Equine Assisted Coach.  And having just completed my studies in Oracle School and receiving my Oracle Guide certification, I’m excited that founder of Oracle School, Colette Baron-Reid is among the speakers too!

Other speakers include:

Dr. Steven Farmer

John Holland

Joan Ranquet

Danielle MacKinnon

And many more…

On a personal note, this has been one of my wishes and intentions to be part of an online summit such as this. What makes it special for me, among many other things, is that it was one of those things that just landed in my lap. It was proof to me once again that  following one’s heart, and not pushing so hard (which I can have a tendency to do, but am continual unlearning this), that if it is meant to be it will happen…and it did! So it makes me extra tickled pink and feels like such a perfect fit.

I’ll be offering a special discount rate for my Intuitive Oracle Guidance sessions which you will learn about during my interview, so be sure to check it out then if you’d like to take advantage of that. I’d be honored to support you in your journey if this resonates for you.

Again, here is the link to register today at no cost to you: Animal Wisdom World Summit!

And feel free to share with your animal loving and spiritual seeking friends…

I can’t wait to “see you” there!

XO,

Barbara

Love and Grief are a Package Deal

Love and grief are a package deal. ~Elaine Mansfield

Yesterday John and I spent a few hours at his sister Donna’s house who lost her husband of twenty years a little over five months ago. Donna and I are the same age having graduated together. Words can’t express how my heart hurts for her as she now must move forward in a new way without the love of her life.

It’s certainly a time when one re-examines their own life when something like this happens. While you can understand to a certain degree what she is going through, one can never fully know until we each are faced with it. And grief…so very personal.

But Donna was in good spirits and is making steps forward which was a relief to both John and my hearts. She is such a beautiful, bright spirit in this world – and I’ve always said is the female version of John. They both know how to make other’s laugh and something I’ve adored about them both since I’ve known them.

John and I were both lost in our own thoughts, driving the hour home, when I saw this quote, love and grief are a package deal on my friend, Monica’s Instagram page. While I know this to be true, it really sank deeper in my being reading it at that particular moment.

The thought still on my mind as Donna is, while I puttsed around the house this morning, feeding the hummingbirds, changing the water in the bird bath, I look up to see a chipmunk sunning himself in the sun on the rock in the garden.

Whooosssh went my emotions…a heaviness in my heart for Donna while a moment of love for the sweetness of this dear little chippie looking so adorable on that rock. Oh, how he made my heart smile! So appropriate his timing, I thought. How chipmunks are so playful, skittering here and there, building new paths wherever they go.

And what I wish for Donna as she learns to navigate her world in a new way…that her heart will smile again someday too. One of the hardest things to endure….grief….but that to have loved with one’s whole heart is so worth it. So very worth it.

Frogs Message to Clear the Muddied Energy

Frog's Message to Clear the Muddied Energy

I love oracle cards and using them as a tool for guidance in my life. If you’ve been following my blog for awhile I believe you have a sense of that as I love sharing what I discover along the way.

Because of my love of animals and continuing to learn what I can from their wisdom, animal oracle cards are ones I turn to often.

Today I chose to use the Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams and David Carson to draw a card before my yoga practice. As I shuffled the cards I asked what I most needed to hear today and Frog card was the one that presented itself.

I’m concerned about a health issue with Gidget which I just learned of yesterday when I took her to the vet. Right now I’ve opted to wait a week or two to see if anything changes before making a decision on what to do next.

While I don’t want to specifically say what it could possibly be as there is a 50% chance it isn’t, I’m working on myself of not living in a place of fear around this concern, so I can make the best and right decision for Gidget. So, alas, I have some inner work to do.  🙂

So Frog’s message is what I needed to hear. In part Frog says:

If Frog hopped into the cards you chose today, its “ribet” may be calling in the cleansing you need. If you were to look at where you are today, would you use any of the following words to describe your condition: tired, overloaded, harried, frustrated, guilty, itchy, nervous, at a loss, empty, or weakened?

If so, take a break, and allow yourself to bathe in the waters of Frog medicine. This could mean a long, relaxing bath, disconnecting the phone, yelling “stop,” or taking in deep, cleansing breaths.

The key thought is to find a way to rid yourself of distractions and to replace the mud with clear energy. Then replenish your parched spirit, body, and mind.

Decisions are best made from a place of clear energy and a process I began yesterday afternoon. With Frog showing up today in the card reading, it is another confirmation of what I need to continue to do.

And so it is.

Update:  Five minutes after I shared this post on my Facebook page, my friend Dawn shared this photo of her new little pup, Deshka, resting with her frog toy this morning. Coincidence?  Nope. Frog is definitely talking to me today. And how about that Deshka? Could she be any cuter?!
