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, but a mother.

Paradisiac Beauty

Paradisiac Beauty: A place of ideal beauty or loveliness, relating to or befitting Paradise. I want to introduce you to a lovely women named Valerie. Valerie has a blog called Paradisic Beauty, where she writes about the plight of abused animals all over the world. (www.paradisicbeauty.wordpress.com) Val shows us through her written word, how we can begin to change our way of thinking about animal abuse. She even shows us products and foods that are organic and cruelty free. Her topics are diverse. From animal testing in labs, to beautiful wolves being caught and dying in traps, to barbaric "sports" like horse wrangling. And here at home, she writes about the daily abuse that numerous pets endure. She writes about the ones that no one sees.....she is their voice! All of these horrific things and many others, go on each and every day, all over the world. And in EACH instance, the animals die a slow and horribly painful death. Val shows us real w

Knowing We Must Say Goodbye

Wishing you were somehow here again Knowing we must say goodbye Try to forgive, teach me to live Give me the strength to try -From The Phantom of the Opera A few short weeks ago, my best friend had to say goodbye to her precious cat of twenty one years. As you can image, it was one of the hardest things she has ever had to do. It was also one of the kindest gifts she could have given to her little Simba. We all know what a difficult and incredibly sad decision this is to make. We question that decision long after our little angel is at rest. We talk to our friends and loves ones about him or her, and if we are lucky, we have that one person who totally gets how we are feeling, and tries to ease our pain by letting us reminisce and remember. If we're very lucky, we have that one friend. Here are a few suggestions that might help you when confronted with a friend who needs you to just listen, and be a true friend. Listen. Really listen.
