Happy May! 🌸

I got a dog. If you’ve been on my list for a while, you probably know that I’ve had her for two and a half years now! Her name is Rosie, and I’m still surprised I have a dog—despite how much I love her and how she’s become such a companion to me.

I got a dog because I kept journeying to my future self, and every time I looked three years out, five years out—there she was, always by my side. Spirit kept nudging me, saying: “Now! get a dog now!” It didn't make sense - my grown kids were about to "leave the nest" - freedom was on the horizon. And Spirit was relentless. I know the agreement I made(to answer the call): I listened, and Rosie ran right into my heart. 💖

The moment marked the beginning of this new chapter.

The Story of Her Name

Actually, when I first brought her home, I named her Tallulah—a name I had always imagined for a daughter I never had. One day, when we were having a really hard time, my puppy came to me in a journey and clearly said: “My name is not Tallulah. My name is Rosie.” She didn’t like the name Tallulah. It wasn’t hers. I was stunned. I thought I knew best, and it makes sense that Rosie knew herself better than I did. That was the first lesson she taught me: listen and be open to unexpected clarity.

The Challenge of Love

As much as I adore her now, those early weeks were hard. Rosie was a puppy—I had never had a puppy before. The endless energy, the middle-of-the-night wake-ups, the constant needs—I started to feel overwhelmed, almost like a version of postpartum depression (which I didn’t have with my own kids). I was exhausted and felt like I was losing my mind.
​

I turned to friends with dogs for advice, and they mostly shrugged—almost like they’d forgotten the struggles of puppyhood, like parents who forget the intensity of labor and delivery. I really needed help, so I did what any shaman would do: I got a shaman for my dog. 😉

A Shaman for Rosie

Yes, it sounds a bit wild, and I needed Rosie to have her own guide. I have done animal healing work before, and I knew I wasn’t clear or unattached enough to connect with Rosie. The shaman connected with Rosie and revealed that we’ve known each other before, in different forms, across various lifetimes. She explained the depth of our soul connection, and it shifted everything. Rosie wasn’t just a companion; she was a guide.

From that moment, the energy shifted for both of us. Rosie and I found our rhythm, and life got easier. I realized she wasn’t just here to be taken care of—she was also here to teach me about love, grounding, and being fully present.

The Joy of Being Alive

Now, every morning, Rosie wakes up wagging her tail as if to say, “I’m awake! I’m alive! Let’s celebrate!” And she doesn’t just bring that joy to me; she’s also brought it to my family. The Abrams men—my sons and their dad—who didn’t want a dog at first, have completely fallen for her. They come to visit, spend time with her, and she loves them back with that same joy.

It’s amazing how healing it is to be celebrated every morning by a being who looks into your eyes and says, “I’m so glad you’re here.” It’s a reminder that even when life feels heavy, there’s a way back to lightness and love.

Awaken to Your Own Spring

As spring unfolds, Rosie and I are soaking up this energy of renewal and presence. If you’re feeling stuck or uncertain as you move into this new season, it’s okay. Sometimes, it takes a little help to wake up to your own joy and ease.

If you’re ready to unfurl into your bloom this year and need some guidance, let’s connect.

You don’t have to do it alone. You can book a session with me using the link below. Or if you’re looking to dive deeper, I have a few spaces available for private intensives—a chance to immerse yourself in personal healing and transformation, and use nature's support to grow something new this season.
