Zen Inspirations

My very good friend and exceptional pet sitter, Cheryl Baker, lives the life she dreams of....literally!
Cheryl believes that if you think positive and good thoughts, you will receive those positive and good things you think about.

In other words, what you think about, you bring about. It's what some people call karma!

Cheryl inspires me to do good and think calm and positive thoughts, every time we talk. She is so upbeat and inspirational! Her calm demeanor just radiates positivity.

And in her own sweet way, Cheryl is helping to make the world a better place for animals too.

Cheryl Baker is the artist and creator behind Zen Inspirations, New Age And Cruelty Free Living.

For a look at some truly gorgeous jewelry, stop by Cheryl's Etsy shop: Cheryl's Healing Gems.
www.etsy.com/shop/CherylsHealingGems
Every necklace, bracelet, ring and pet charm is made with semi-precious gems and sent to you infused with Cheryl's positive energy!
In her own words, Cheryl says, "My semi-precious jewelry is created with great intention, love, harmony and well-being."

Before you leave, be sure to check out the "Everything Else" page! It's filled with cool bumper stickers, key chains, white sage for clearing the air of negativity, and beautiful Himalayan Rock Salt Lamps! Definitely on my list!!

I wish I could show you all of her jewelry...it's really breath taking!! And I have bought many pieces for myself, London, my mom and our dogs!!

I want absolutely EVERY bumper sticker in her shop too! But my favorite, the one that reminds me of my beautiful friend, Cheryl, is the one that simply says, "Magic Happens".

So tomorrow when you wake up, think about something wonderful happening to you.... smile, say kind things, think positive and happy thoughts, keep calm... and don't be too surprised, if magic happens!

Check back in the next few weeks. I will be interviewing Cheryl about her past life as an animal activist "Super Hero"!!!

Broken Hearts: An Anti-Bullying Campaign

Today, I want to talk about a topic that has been, well, talked about a lot-- Bullying! Bullying is never okay. In any form and to any living being. It is NEVER okay. We know this, as adults. But, do we really follow what our heart is telling us to do? Do we help others when they are being picked on or laughed at, or cyber bullied? Do we teach our children that we should never bully others, and to stand up to a bully, even if it means telling an adult? I had an experience with London being bullied at the start of the school year in her new school. This had never happed before, and let me tell you, I was furious! London immediately told me when I picked her up from school that day, and my husband and I talked with her teacher that evening. And we talked about how it made her feel, and how wrong those two girls were for doing that to her. Her amazing teacher, to her credit, handled the situation rapidly and with the concern and anger of, not only a teacher,...

Frozen Hearts, Forgotten Lives: The Peril Of Pets In Winter

Keeping Your Pets Safe: Why They Belong Inside During Freezing Weather When temperatures drop, your pets rely on you to protect them from the cold. Leaving them outside in freezing conditions is not only dangerous for their health—it can also lead to serious legal consequences. Here’s why keeping your pets indoors during winter isn’t just a kindness; it’s a responsibility. 1. Freezing Temperatures Are Life-Threatening Dogs and cats are susceptible to frostbite, hypothermia, and other cold-related injuries. Contrary to popular belief, fur is not enough to keep them warm. Frostbite can damage their ears, tails, and paws, while hypothermia can cause their organs to shut down. Even hardy breeds like Huskies need proper shelter and care to survive extreme conditions. 2. IT'S THE LAW In many states and cities, it’s illegal to leave pets outside in extreme weather. If a neighbor sees your dog or cat left in the cold, they can—and often will—call animal control, the Humane Society, or ev...

Why Empathy for Animals Builds a Kinder World: A Parent’s Guide to Teaching Compassion

Why Empathy for Animals Builds a Kinder World: A Parent’s Guide to Teaching Compassion Empathy is a cornerstone of a kinder, more understanding world. As parents, one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the ability to see and respect the emotions of others. While teaching empathy can sometimes feel abstract, animals provide a natural, relatable way to help children develop this vital skill. From the loyal wag of a dog’s tail to the cautious flutter of a bird’s wings, animals communicate feelings in ways even the youngest children can understand. By fostering empathy for animals, we open the door for our children to expand their compassion to people and the world around them. In this post, we’ll explore why empathy for animals matters, how it translates to kindness in broader contexts, and simple, parent-friendly activities to nurture this value at home.
