- Something About Me and My Book:
- I am constantly around animals in my work, my play, my dreams. I learnt to gentle horses with the Cree Indians in Swan Hills Alberta, and brought this home with me, where I began to use the techniques on my own horses, which covered nine years of my life. I then had to make significant amounts of money, as I became pregnant, after a night of passion..with my long term partner I must add....the only one I remember actually (!) on the edge of the moor, at full moon, on an intersecting ley line. I knew something dramatic would happen, and it did!. It blew my 16 year relationship right out of the water.I moved into the barn in the middle of winter, with only horse balakets a hammock and an electric light...till he cut the cable, then I had nothing. I had to leave my dream home in the hills, with my newly born daughter, to make a new life together. I took with me the cats, dogs, chickens and nine horses, including one I had hand reared from a day old.
For 6 years I worked in my non animal related businesses, which meant working with my baby on my back, seven days a week, sometimes for nine hours a day. I built us a life, I bought a home when the farm sold, and life was ok, but there was something missing. I hadnt dated in 4 years. Initially I thought it was a man, so I wore that teeshirt for a while, but after a two year relationship, with a multi millionaire, I thought I would prefer a dog. we already had two border collies, but I fancied a Yorkie again.
Three years later, my life is unrecogniseable. My Daughter, who could talk in sentences at 9 months, used words in latin at two for animals that I then had to look up, and spoke to things animatedly, I couldn't even see, We progressed. She decided at 2 she wanted to be home ed...it was her right, as she carefully explained to me in words I could understand(! ) My life had to change dramatically. I sold my sportscar, my 4x4, 5 of my horses, and we moved to a frugal life so I could be with her more. Being apart was tearing us both in bits, and by then we had twelve dogs, an owl, 9 cats 50 hens, 5 horses and 6 geese, a few sheep and a terrible goat.
We began to attract animals to rescue like a living magnet. Pidge showed me how to see energy around things, and I remembered seeing the wind when I was a child, how it hit the window, how it's energy made patterns. We began to learn the energy of trees and feel the chakra's of animals. I discovered I could communicate with them on some level, and understand what they needed to be well. It was, and still is an odd journey, but an infinitely more rewarding one.Our lives are our animals and each other. we always have what we need, just to get by. Our spirituality has soared with birds we have loved and let go, and our hearts and minds have been opened like flowers in the sun, by the baby animals we have reared, nurtured and rehomed. I have gathered around me for the first time in my life, people I love and trust. We learn something new every day, and we laugh at ourselves which is great medicine.
The animals have been and will always be our greatest teachers, and my daughter, with her incredible wisdom
( she looked like an old Tibetan monk when she was born!) never fails to remind me that love conquers all. She told me the other day, that she is never bored, lonely or depressed. I thought back to my childhood, and although my parents were great people, I was always all three of those things. Lost in a world I did not understand. Through her, I have learnt to be a child again, well not again really, but for the first time, and through the animals I have learnt unconditional love, the only love that is worth its salt, the only love I am prepared to acknowledge.
Despit a life threatening head injury, courtesy of the goat, financial ruin, and the surfacing of a buried memory of a multiple rape at the age of 5 only 100 yards from my Mother, out of her sight, but she not out of mine. I am finally writing my book.
