Ginger’s Gifts

Having supported many animal rescues throughout the years, I knew that is where we would go when the time came to adopt a new family member. One day as I was driving by my favorite rescue facility I had that familiar intuitive nudge.  As I stopped in to visit, I saw this one little fluff ball sitting quietly in the back corner of one of the cages.  We locked eyes and immediately I knew I was there for her.  She was a recent arrival and we were the first family to see her. As you can imagine, this quiet but big personality in a little body stole our hearts.  Before the end of the day, this amazing little soul became part of our family. We were told she was special and little did I know how special she would become to me.

Ginger quickly became my sidekick and companion.  I did not know at the time what a “heart dog” was but Ginger was certainly the definition of that for me. She was the one constant that remained with me through all the ups and downs of life. Ginger always seemed to understand exactly what I needed at any point in time. So it was natural that she became my source of comfort when my son decided to branch out on his own to start his life.  What was next for me? I did not know it at the time but Ginger was my compass as I stood at that crossroads of life deciding my new path. One of her special gifts to me during that time was a simple one, find the little “treats” of life each day and they will bring you the greatest joys.

The Next Step

I learned about Danielle MacKinnon through other spiritual teachers I had worked with over the years. One day I saw a video from Danielle inviting people to learn how our animals are teaching us soul lessons.  I had always had a curiosity about animal communication and today that curiosity was piqued more.  Could our animals actually know what our souls need? I was so intrigued I became a student. As I learned from Danielle how evolved our animals actually are and how they help us to heal, it all started to make a little more sense.  I believe Ginger called out to me that first day so she could lead me on a path of healing and growth. And I believe she is still walking beside me now as she leads me down my current path.

Lessons Learned

The more I studied Soul Level Animal Communication, the more I began to understand how my animal family of past and present have been teaching me lessons throughout my life. Ginger taught me the essence of unconditional love and the importance of self-care by mirroring both to me. Through her own health challenges she helped me realize prioritizing my self care was not self-ish but actually self-love.  She also re-introduced me to one of the hardest lessons of all…letting go…..even when we want to hold on for just one more day. 

And now……

As I walk along this newfound path, whether it is those guiding stars above in the night sky or those special animal bonds here on Earth, the wisdom that comes from both will be present. When our paths cross, we can walk together with curiosity about what your pets want to share and in turn allow you to discover a deeper connection with them. Animals help our journeys be a little more exciting and a lot more fun so I can’t wait to meet you and your pet so we can explore your paths together!
