In 1998 I started writing newsletters and mailing them to my clients. After a few years I gave up the paper and stamps and sent my newsletters via email. Then at some point I started posting my articles by blog instead of email. Short story… I have been back to sending out my stories via email for the past few years. Please enjoy looking back at a selection of my writings from 1999-2020 on this blog.

"I’ve been skeptical that animal communications are even possible. But I opened your book sort of randomly and followed directions to think positively about my Sophie, telling her in my mind how much I love her. She’s a loudly yowling kitty, sort of mad at the world but after doing this practice for just a short time, she calmed down and started purring. She’s been much more docile since then. Not totally transformed but much improved. It feels like magic!" - customer note on facebook I love you- my clients- and certainly want to continue interpreting your animal's thoughts and feelings for y ..read more

A small excerpt from the introduction: I became inspired to create this [fiber art] series, Domestic Partners, to capture the relationships and love that we humans have with our animals. Many of the images depict humans and their animals together, telling a piece of their emotional story. My purpose for including images of animals on their own is to invite you to look into their eyes and feel that you know them. This is an invitation to understand the emotions of our domestic partners. Sierra and Henry A few months after we lost our cat Calvin, we were ready to get a new cat. We wanted to be s ..read more

February 2018 was officially my 20 year anniversary as a professional animal communicator. I had been doing a few consultations here and there for 2 years before I printed my first brochure but I don't count those years as I was still in college at the time (I graduated in February 1998 from Goddard College). I thought about writing and celebrating my anniversary but every time the thought came to me I started remembering all of the human clients that I loved who have passed away. I knew I would lose a lot of animal clients over the years but I never expected how attached I would become to the ..read more

My cat knows how to relax. He doesn't consider it to be a life skill- it is just life. Often people call me to communicate with their animals about a certain subject. When I communicate with my cat on a daily basis it is usually about "nothing". I tune into him and just enjoy thinking the way he does. It is very relaxing. I am not sure I should call it "thinking", maybe I should say I enjoy feeling the way he does. Today he was having the best moment of basking in the sun. Look at how relaxed his body got!When you have a moment try being quiet and tuning into your relaxed animal friend. Try t ..read more

The parking lot where we wait for the school bus was recently paved and lines were painted. Ichabod didn't mind walking on the new pavement but he carefully stepped over the painted lines. I took him there daily and practiced walking across the lot, hoping he would overcome his reluctance to step on the lines. He did not. He told me that the lines looked 3D (as a deep crevice) to him and he really didn't want to risk stepping on them. OK Ichabod, you can keep stepping over the lines! Here is a video of Ichabod stepping over lines. Notice with all of my weaving in and out, I did "trick" him in ..read more

I am so fortunate to have my equines living in my backyard. I get to watch them graze from my office window (look at my amazing view!) And I can visit them throughout the day. Mornings are the most fun. As soon as one of the donkeys sees me moving around in the house (they watch the windows) I hear a big bray. I rush around finishing up a few chores- trying not to feel guilty about them waiting for me! Finally I hop outside and open the gate to let them out for grazing. My Haflinger horse, Mallory, having given me a "hurry up" whiny and grumble, stomps right past me. She honestly doesn't even ..read more

The Today Show (several weeks ago) briefly touched on a study about how animals do not have memories (and they don't have future thoughts). As far as I can tell, from the brief reporting, the study was talking about memory in the sense of "thinking about the past". Savanna Guthrie mentioned how this lack of memory didn't make sense to her because the Today Show puppy remembers tricks he had learned the day before. Here is the deal: memories and knowledge are generally thought of as two different things. Wrangler (the puppy) isn't lying in his crate remembering yesterday's training session. Wh ..read more

My husband and I have had pet rabbits for many years now and we enjoy naming their adorable poses. When we spot a cute rabbit pose we call it out so everyone can enjoy the sight. This post is a fun way of illustrating the most important element of Animal Communication: Enjoying animals. Appreciating them. Being thrilled to have them in your life. Here are a few of my favorite rabbit poses: Left: Superman and Right: Clark Kent Giving an Ear- can be added to most poses. In this case another Superman. Left: Muffin and Right: Loaf (with an ear) These two poses are very similar, but the muffin ..read more

Ever wonder what your animal friend is thinking? Take a moment to find out... I know you can do it, and here are some tips to get you started. Animals live in the moment. I promise that whatever they are thinking about has to do with right here and now.For example: You look out the window at your horse stomping flies and swishing her tail. She is not thinking: "These flies are worse than yesterday or good thing I get to go back to the barn in 3 hours." She might be thinking, "Ugh flies, get me out of here!" or "Aah the sun is so warm." Animals don't judge themselves, others, or circumstances ..read more
