The Language of Sensitivity

0

Either you are sensitive, or you are not.

When you are sensitive, you hurt more.

That is why you feel closer to the Animals.

There is a silent understanding between you,

which no one can take away from you.

My Sweet Senior Dog got Dementia

0

Dementia is devastating to witness. You feel helpless, and yet so hopeful in different ways, and moments. Sammy’s lack of hearing is getting worse. When he is outside in the garden, you have to clap your hands hard. He doesn’t hear your voice anymore, only hard claps. Then Sammy wakes up, disoriented, but in the next moment amazingly happy to see me.

Even his eyesight is getting worse. When it’s getting dark it is difficult for him to see if the front-door is open. Outside we use flashlight for him. Inside, we put up a light sensor by the door.

In the mornings he is like a puppy, young and playful. Later, he falls asleep like a grandpa. Grandpa Sammy snores peacefully in his dog-bed.

He need a lot of quiet time.

Stress makes him more confused.

No new places.

Sammy gets disoriented.

Is he suffering? No, we don’t think so. He is happy in both worlds ❤️

It’s more difficult for us, knowing he is getting ready for the other world.

That’s Love Friends! That’s Amore!

❤️ please consider adopting Seniors, let them have a peaceful ending.

Help the shelter dogs with homeopathic calmness drops, and medical treatments. Wet food, so their medicine goes down easily. Treats, as a comfort of love.

Let us support those who love us in every special way and moment. That’s Amore!

How can we Explain?

0

Abandoned Animals feel extremely confused, overwhelmed and lost when they enter shelters.

They have a high emotional intelligence — without words. No one can explain for them, why they suddenly are being left in a cold cage.

We have a responsibility –let’s talk, show, educate and help. Help us Help innocent animals who trusted and loved someone once. Let’s give them hope =warm bellies and blankets. Please donate.

I don’t create their characters

They create mine.

That’s Amore!

Why do you Love the Bottle more than Me?

At least once a month we try to meet, a circle of eight young people with broken hearts. I have spoken honest and loudly about my own growing up. Close people I love with some kind of addiction. Sadly, noone seeked help for the addiction. Bitterness and Broken Hearts occurred instead.

Some adults think this topic shouldn’t be spoken about, others think it is very important. However, several young Broken Hearts started to write to me after hearing me talking about it. I noticed a need for being seen and heard needed to be addressed quickly. Sadly many Government’s doesn’t have money for this kind of meetings-to have a qualified Psychologist attending.

But, we do not give advices. We listen and share. We cry and we laugh, together. That’s Amore!

Last meeting We wrote this together;

We got fire in our hearts

We got thunder in our souls

We want to become survivors

Parenting our own parents

We are growing up to fast

Our parents grow old fast

Their memories are always gone

Their stories always changes

Tattooed painfully into our hearts

We get blamed for being unthankful

We get accused for being the problem

We never asked to be born

Their denial continues with another drink

Alcohol kills love

Alcohol kills relationships

We never asked to be born

It hurts to see how they suffer

but we are children suffering too

The hearts of Thunder

(“One in five German children have alcoholic or drug-addict parents or drug-addict parents, according to the latest annual figures on drugs and addiction.” The Local DE 2011

(one in four USA Children have alcohol or drug-addict parents other statistics say one in 10 children–no matter what, it is to much)

This is of course a very dark numbers.

The Process Between Two Worlds

0

I have had the privilege to live and work

 in several contrasting countries, 

with different cultures. 

different beliefs 

 Animals do have a soul.

Working side by side with the animals 

from wealthy homes to chaos and war zones. 

They, the Animals, all believed the same. 

Death is nothing to fear, 

it’s a process between two worlds.

Giving the Young Ones a Moment

0

Questions have been many, am I still volunteering helping young people with broken hearts.

Yes, every week, and mostly every day. I am a support person they can talk to.

Not to solve, to listen.

Together with amazing psychologists which also volunteers, we become a very important support network.

Now, they asked me to tell their stories, and in a positive way. (that’s a big challenge but I will do my very best)

I am honored by their trust and how brave they are.

“We have seen how you can tell animal-stories which are sad into an inspiring educational way.” were their words.

I hope I can make their stories justice, and most of all, inspiring. I am grateful and thankful for this opportunity ❤️ That’s Amore!

You know who you are ❣️ Thank you.

“Time heals nothing unless you move along with it.” – Rachel Wolchin

I couldn’t write anything after our dear ChaCha left us.

It happened so suddenly.

I wasn’t prepared.

I didn’t “get those three days” that could prepare me with, “My time is at the end!”

Some feels its good when it goes quickly.

Your body was getting old, but your mind and heart were pure with energy.

It is so quiet in the house. So quiet that my ears hurts.

I wait, wait for those paws to walk over the wooden floor.

“click, click, click.”

You were an abused dog in former homes.

You had been on a chain.

We had to learn to live together.

Together we found a way.

There is alway a way when we listen.

No words. Only follow each others energies.

I felt when you got stressed. I lowered my energies.

I knew what triggered you. So I made sure to avoid those situations.

Humans and Animals, we speak the same language, if we only listen.

That’s Am

Midsummer Vibes

0

I couldn’t ask for a more lovely Midsummer start. Madame and I went for a lovely walk

among the apple trees and the sky was clear blue. Birds chirping, bees buzzing. While Madame ate grass I listen to Sommar i P1, every day different well-known Swedish people talk and tell a story from their own lives.

A wonderful tradition which makes it feels like being home a summer day in Stockholm.

That’s Amore!

The Honesty in a Picture of Life

Horses in Harmony 💚 are giving back to the children and teenagers with “sadness and worries “ in their hearts.
❤️💛💚💙💜
Let me be very clear, all donations goes directly to the animals. Food and medication etc.
For the children and Teenagers, we privately pay for the cinnamon buns and drinks, and sometimes a parent brings with them cookies. (even carrots)

In the group we one day talked about alcoholism. They pick the subject. I learned from the kids that there are functional alcoholics and bench alcoholics— as they called it.

I had never heard about functional alcoholism before, and they explained for me the meaning. 💛
One boy continued about his dad which had a very good job, they looked very wealthy on the outside. Sometimes was he tipsy and sometimes drunk. They scary part he said they never knew what state of mood. The next morning Dad was acting normally like nothing had happened.

“Growing up, first I thought it was normal that my dad drank a lot. But when he had aggressively outburst when my friends came over, I felt shame and embarrassed. When I told him calmly he denied it and made it sound like I overestimated. Like it was me doing something wrong. That made me more sad. Now when I see people drink I get nervous.”
Young boy 👦🏻

Julia, one of our rescue horses reacts on alcohol smell, and gets “anxiety” Nervously running in the box trying to flee into a corner.”

Trauma behavior (reaction) has the same wordless trigger in emotions.

Julia 🐴and this boy 👦🏻 have already a connection. They share the same feelings from alcohol.
👦🏻 tells Julia his story and gives her comfort, wordless connection starts in that moment.

That’s Amore! So proud over you all👑
