The Significance of February and Frankie

calendar

Today I turned my therapy dog calendar to February. It all hit me… the significance of it all.

You see, this calendar was the last project Frankie participated in, which was a calendar done of local therapy dogs.  I had orginanlly asked that Frankie be the feature for August (since August was her birthday). But there was some confusion as to someone else wanting that month.  I didn’t make a fuss about it, as it really did’n’t matter, I was just glad to have Frankie part of the project that helped raise money for a local cancer care fund.  I thought she was going to be the dog for January but when I got my copy late last year I saw she was February. Again, I didn’t think too much of it.

As I flipped the calendar today and saw my sweet girl for February so many things came flooding back to me. First to see her there on the calendar made me so proud of all she accomplished in her almost thirteen years. Second, this is the month I will launch my book Through Frankie’s Eyes.  The special edition will be released on Feb. 14th. The day I launched my first children’s book about Frankie was on Feb. 24th, 2008.  My book launch for my new book is Feb. 28th.

I don’t know about you, but I love being open to what may seem like coincidences, but really I think it is truly synchronicity. Because when you live from your heart center, life has a way of working out just as it should. This is exactly what February and Frankie is telling me– reaffirming for me that I’m traveling down the right path. And I also believe it we are open to signs from our loved ones from the other side, that they are there… Frankie is very much alive within me as I sit in awe and thanks for something as simple as turning the calendar to February. Oh sweet girl, you are so amazing!  Thank you for stopping by to say hello again and cheer me on into the next leg of my journey.

PS:  Another great thing about February?  A fantastic review and write up was done by editor, Jerry of Dachshund Delights for my new book.  Check it out!
