Lena, my beloved corgi for 12 years passed away in her sleep. Thank God I was able to be with her! My "Missy Wissy", as we often lovingly called her, taught me about love. She taught me how to love naturally, from the heart.
The thing with animals is that they give, over and over again, unconditional love. We humans, tend to totally screw up most of our relationships. We, sometimes consciously as well as unconsciously, tend to be anything but loving.
With animals it is easy to be loving. In fact, I find it quite safe to love them as unconditionally that they love me. That is what my beloved corgi came here to try to teach me....love. And I learned.
Lena was such a huge blessing to me that every day I could give love without feeling the need to protect myself. Receiving the love from her was simply by being in her presence. That is what I miss tremendously, her presence. Yes, I do still feel the love but it isn't as simple anymore and going over and giving an ear rub.
Lena made me a better person by being in my life. Some people thought I had too much of an emotional involvement with my dog. I totally disagree. I enjoy loving. It is a natural thing to love and you cannot help but be emotionally involved if you love. Yes, I did spoil her, but she was also my constant and only companion for many years. Part of the enjoyment of love, is spoiling your companion. I do now have an incredible, loving partner for the past several years, but Lena was my constant companion for the past 12 years. Thomas has some catching up to do!

Had a reading today with my psychic, Cindy. Although it is called a reading, to me, it feels like I'm talking to an old friend. Cindy is not your stereotypical psychic. She does not tell me what to do or think, she simply offers me an unbiased, wholistic perspective of what is going on in the whole of my life. She has helped me through many of my life's challenges. With her wisdom, she has enpowered me with insight to make more positive choices for my life and has brought an understanding and wisdom to me that I have not been able to find anywhere else. She's better than a counselor because she can truly see my life from the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Sound incredible? It would have sounded incredible to me too 25 years ago. But ironically, when I was going through the worst time of my life, it was my first psychic reading that I took on a whim which brought a sense of relief, confirmation and a light at the end of the tunnel for me when I was in despair of going through a divorce. Nothing or no one else could give that to me at that time in my life. Now I know some people think psychics are crooks, evil or crazy, and perhaps, some may be; but, my experiences have been positive, enpowering, fun and enlightening. I do not use my readings as a crutch for my life decisions. I use them to offer clarification and/or confirmation. We all need "a little help from our friends" in life. I am truly thankful and blessed to have Cindy in mine. She has helped me and others. If you would like her number, email me and I'll give it to you. CIndy speaks the truth. Anyone have psychic readings/experiences they would like to share?
