That is what I have been, in frustration, yelling to Sparky( my 100 pound Labrador), every time he licks his wound. He got angry when the groomers shaved him for the first time. It was my sister’s suggestion to avoid shedding so much hair. Instead, all I have done is shed grief for 4 months and his wound doesn’t get better. It hasn’t gotten infected because I have given him antibiotics, gone to 2 veterinarians, applied sprays that the vet gave me, and holistic creams, muzzles, collar, special “bite not collar I bought of the internet, etc…. He is a mighty stubborn dog . I have also gone through countless gauze, bandages and tape which has pulled off. (more…)

My Feet Finally Feel Grounded
I am feeling my feet firmly on the ground. Feeling stable and secure is something that is being ripped out of – from under the carpets, so to say for a lot of people nowadays. In this financial crisis, Lehman Brothers going bankrupt, AIG Insurance being rescued by the federal government today, Merrill Lynch being bought out by Bank of America. Huge institutions worth hundreds of billions of trillions together are losing over 75% of their values. And at the same time, all of the people that comprise these organizations are feeling devalued.

Leap of Faith and Taking Baby Steps
What if your destiny is nothing but taking small steps, led by a vision that you have initialized by a leap of faith in your hopes dreams and desires, and you are taken into a reality that becomes your destiny. For me, the word “destiny” or “fate” connotates sometimes something too big and therefore a sense of being unattainable.I know that I have taken many steps towards a vision, but sometimes give up hope because the steps seem too much. t’s like stopping at 10,000 steps when the 10001 step was the critical one that takes a quantum turn which then catapults you to your destiny which seemed unfathomable in step 9,999. It is that leap of faith as you hold on to your vision supported by a love so great from a higher power or God, that I imagine can lead me to what I thought at certain times unattainable.
I have many big hopes and dreams for a greater life for my son and myself- for a better life and for a vision I have of inspiring children. Maybe I am on step 4999. That trust in a higher power is my fuel to continue all the remaining steps. Little by little, step by step. You never know, maybe step 5001 is that quantum step, or it could be 10001. Who knows.
But it sure does feel better knowing that I WILL be at a destination – my destiny soon enough, as long as I continue taking those baby
steps. -

Hang on Tight to Your Dreams
Last August, I was gifted with being able to work with my sister full time. Our main focus was to work the real estate market to sustain us and on the side, we developed a plan for our future besides the real estate. I was worried about my ankle hurting so much and the requirement of showing property. I had been visioning for the last two years simply finding a way to share my inspirations that I had had after my car accident five and a half years ago. The good thing is that my sister is a licensed mental health therapist and because we are family, we were able to create some amazing concepts for living a life free of suffering, pain and loss.
