Whispers of the Heart

When you are experience turbulence in your life, do you begin seeking advice, answers and guidance outside of yourself?

When the answers you receive from others don’t “fix” the issue you’re experiencing, do you go on to the next?

Then when you do find someone who can help you, but you find out it doesn’t remedy issue all together, do you the judge and blame the other person for not relieving your pain?

When you get quiet and hear the words you’re whispering to yourself, you can become clear on the direction you want to go.

Often, the direction is not an absolute answer, it’s only part of your journey.

The invitation to take the next step.

The willingness to take action one way or another is within your full control.

Being aware of how you feel when you take action is what will give you what you’re desiring.

Peace. Freedom. Relief.

Listen to what your heart is telling you.

Your Dog as a Teacher

What if instead of seeing your companion animal as the source of your happiness and rather discovered that they are just showing you how you can find the happiness within yourself?

Your relationship with your dog is just like any other relationship. They guide us back to ourself.

Your dog is the embodiment of pure love and joy. Learn from them how to be present to what is!

You are the Hidden Gem

Getting comfortable with discomfort takes bravery and willingness.

Bravery to embark on doing something new.

Stepping into uncharted waters and being a beginner again and again.

The willingness to grow and change.

What you learn about yourself and what you’re capable for is found in the doing of the unknown.

While you may have a goal in mind to achieve like leash walking your dog or teaching your dog a new trick or you, or learning a new skill, what you take away from the experience may have much more to do with you uncovering parts of yourself that were hidden.

Stretching yourself in doing something new, exposes those parts of yourself where you can become more curious and exploratory about what’s showing up without giving up.

When those moments of stretching become too much, take a break and allow the lessons to wash over you while you begin to make sense of their meaning.

Achieving a goal like leash walking isn’t just about your dog walking with you on a leash, but rather your desire to feel more confident and connected with your companion animal and about becoming the person you want to be in that relationship.

Be the person your dog already knows is inside of you even if you haven’t met her yet.
