January, 2011
Hello Everyone,
I hope that you enjoyed magical holidays and that you will have an absolutely spectacular 2012! The New Year is here and I am excited about the possibilities.
I am scheduling consultations for the first three weeks of January, then I have jury duty Jan 23-27. I may be available those dates, but I won't know until the evening before. Feel free to check if you need some help. I will also be on vacation February 4-16 but I will have referrals on my phone if you need someone while I'm away.
Our house is still for sale and we are hoping to move soon, but I've scheduled a few workshops. To register, just call me at 360-459-4058. Here is a current schedule of classes and events, and below that information on how to perform an exam on your animal at home.

On the second day, you will practice communicating with animals in-person and long distance through photos. This course gives you a good understanding of the telepathic process and some experience using it. Now you just have to practice!

The two-day workshop will expand the animal communication skills you learned in the basic workshop and take you to the next level.

We will also explore animals on a deeper level and speak to those in spirit. Communicating with animal sessions will focus on resolving issues. Please bring a photo of an animal that has some issues we can work with. The basic workshop is a prerequisite.
Swim with Wild Dolphins in the Bahamas - May 13-19, 2012
Swimming with dolphins is a magical experience, but actually communicating with them and receiving their thoughts and feelings is transforming. Are you ready to change your life? Join me on this fun-filled week in the clear blue waters of Bimini. We will open our hearts and minds to commune with the dolphins and rekindle our connection with these cetacean cousins. Dolphins and whales create an enlightened energy field around them. By spending time in this field, you are changed forever.

Steps for Performing an At-Home Pet Exam, by Dr. Karen Becker of Mercola.com
Regular at-home physical exams can help you learn what is normal for your pet's body, and therefore allow you to detect when something is not normal. While it's still important to take your pet for a professional annual exam at your vet, you can keep watch on your pet's health in between visits by getting to know what's normal, and what's not, for your individual pet.
Perform the exam in a relaxed environment when your pet is not stressed or excited, or after an exercise session or nap (when they are likely to be sleepy and ready to relax). Put them on your lap, start with the tip of their nose and work your way to the tip of the tail.
1. First check the nose for debris and take note of whether it is wet or dry. Your pet's nose will not always be wet and typically vary from moist to dry throughout the day depending on your pet's body temperature, activity level and hydration.
2. Then, take a look to see whether there is abnormal eye discharge. For instance, if your cat or dog never gets eye discharge and suddenly has it, it's a sign that there could be a problem.
3. Next check whether your pet's pupils are symmetrical and look at the whites of their eyes. Red sclera (the part that is normally white) could mean inflammation of the eyes.
4. If your pet is not accustomed to having its mouth examined, slowly acclimate your pet to facial massages so that you can eventually check their mouth, gums and teeth. When you can, check inside the mouth for lesions, swelling, and bad breath. Their gums should be pink, teeth free of tartar and plaque, their tongue clear and the roof of the mouth clean and free from debris.
5. Next check the jaw line to see if it feels normal. Check the ears for debris, odor and cleanliness. Brush back the hair and look at the skin and coat. Check for excessive flakiness, lumps and bumps on the sides of the spinal cord and evaluate muscle tone and weight.
6. Look at the claws and pads of their feet. There should be no debris between the toes. Check for heat and swelling over your pet's body and test the range of motion of the joints. Do the joints move freely without resistance or difficulty?
7. Gently palpate their belly to look for lumps and notice if your pet seems to experience discomfort. This is a good time to also gently check both mammary chains (do this for males too). Even if you don't know the names of all the parts you are touching, if you examine your pet regularly you will begin to know what is normal for your companion. When there are changes, you will notice them quite quickly because you are familiar with the terrain of his or her body. Also examine your pet's bottom for cleanliness.
Remember, in order for you to know what's abnormal about your pet, you first need to know what's normal. Performing regular at-home exams is a simple and very effective way for you to keep a close eye on your pet's health.

Wishing you and your pets a wonderful 2012!
Many blessings to you,
Mary
