đ€ Emotionally abuse is to often not taken seriously. It cannot always been seen. Or, explained in words by Children and Animals.
When an Animal or Child are sending voiceless actions, itâs speaking to you.
Thatâs Voiceless Amore!

Emotions are Loud in the Silence

Tack alla Lyssnare/ Tittare
0Vilken kvÀll igÄr som gÀst hos Carina Lidbom, alltsÄ tiden flög ivÀg. Det var första gÄngen jag gjorde livestream.
Carina verkligen fick en att kÀnna sig hemma och trygg. Hon lyssnade och guidade mig genom olika djurberÀttelser. Ibland glömmer jag hur mycket jag gjort och varit med om.
Man hinner med mycket Àven om det kÀnns som om livet far förbi.
Tack alla lyssnare och tittare, det var sÄ underbart att kÀnna er nÀrvaro igen. Jag har saknat Er jÀttemycket kÀnner jag.
Till alla er som arbetar med och för djuren, andra djurorganisationer, till er som adopterat, fortsÀtt med er kÀrlek. DÀr finns plats för oss alla.
FrĂ„gor som skickades han jag inte lĂ€sa â sĂ„ ni fĂ„r gĂ€rna skicka dem igen till mig.
Ett stort tack,
Thatâs Amore â€ïž
Where did the Voice Go
2One morning I realized while sitting drinking my morning coffee, that if my daughter or son, would be harmed in any possible way, I would fight for them.
I would be laud and direct, fighting for them to be heard and believed. â as I already have done in some waysâ I would fight for their voice to be heard and justice to be made. Write about it. A matter of course!
But why in the name of …..did I not make myself heard? Or even fight for myself, in a more determined way?
I was shocked when I realized that I was quiet, hiding scared in a dark hole. Refusing to come up and fight, to be laud, set boundaries and say, âEnough is Enough!â
For two decades now had I fought for the Animal Rights. I was well known for rescuing many animals. And maybe also for my three published books. I could get the cruelest person to hand over their abused animal to me. In that case was I strong, and determined.
But how come I didnât stand up for the person that needed the help most? I asked myself again!
Maybe itâs Because there are groups of different kind of help. You can be âluckyâ to come to the right person right away, or, your road starts taking a scary turn, with the wrong people behind their desks.
We trust them. Listens to their promises. We trust their occupation, of course they must know what they are talking about. Right!
There are good people helping, but they are overloaded with work.
It doesnât get easier because you finally dare to leave. Then the revenge starts.
Silence can make the wrong people continuing with their harmfulness. I started writing about this theme 1996, still not bigger of a change. More Women Shelter are being built. Good and sad.
Itâs time to stand up, reunite with the past, starting today.
Thatâs Amore!
You are the Boss of your Feelings

Jealousy is one of the most damaging feelings we can allow us to happen.
As it actually hurts yourself, the same way it hurts the target.
Early on in my children’s life, I started to talk to them about jealousy. About “good” jealousy and “bad” jealousy. Either it could inspire them, or destroy them.
One advice I kept telling them — and it’s a good reminder to all of us– is to practice the (Buddhist) question that asks, “Can you be happy for their (the person you are jealous of) success?
When you are noticing your jealous feelings. Stop! Take a breath, and simply ask this question. Chose kindness.
That’s Amore!

Mission Together
0
Since my children were born they have together with me gone on different missions.
When Olivia was only 3 months old, she and I went to a children hospital with 30 teddy bears!
When Max was 4 months old he went together with me and Olivia to an Italian Orphan home with donations.
Last Wednesday, we went on a new mission, I don't know how many hundreds missions we have been on already. I find it very important to involve my children, not only is it wonderful to be a rescue team. But it's also very nourishing for our souls.
To meet other people, children and animals that need some kind of help. Meeting others that are working with any kind of rescuing. And to see different environments, to understand that we all live differently.
I am incredibly proud over both my children, Max and Olivia!
They are in charge of two puppies traveling from Italy up to our home in Germany. And this Thursday are their new family from Sweden driving down to pick up the puppies for adoption!
That's Amore!
Ps. After a mission we always make something fun together. Like taking a wonderful dip in the pool.

South Germany finally got a very warm beautiful day today. Even my son gave my momma heart som hick ups climbing in the tree. –even if I am proud over him —
We had our homeschooling co-op today, and it is always wonderful to meet other homeschooling parents and their children. And of course, the teachers.
Today Olivia and Max had Geography, English literature and Art. (my son had one class extra learning about different plants ) Its an amazing group of people that we love to meet.

Writing is a big passion in my life. However lately, it hasn’t been much of writing due to many different reasons.
Stay home mom
Homeschooling
Moving
Working with Rescue dogs
Severe Lyme disease 2011-2015
Due to the above reasons IÂ kept writing my columns, since I was afraid of letting that go, I would become insane with the pain, brain fog and loneliness. It has been a challenge, that I have overcome by myself (after finally finding the right treatment)
On the outside, I tried to sound like I had everything under control. Why wouldn’t I?
Who would want to read about pain and misery?
And most important, I didn’t allow losing myself into complete darkness. Since I knew I was only a step away, from giving up.
My two fantastic children, I owe so much to them. Â We are now starting our freelance writing. Exited!
Olivia is making research, and Max is going to take pictures.
Together, we will be team working, finding inspiring people and animals. And who could have guessed, one story will actually be published in a magazine this upcoming spring/summer. Stay with us.
One step at the time!
Importan How your Day Starts

Morning Glory for all of us. When Animals wake up they take their little time before going out greeting their new day. Stretching and many times they “only sit” still for a moment or two.
Many of us adults start with meditation or yoga, or a cup of coffee in the quietness.
Homeschooling children is a wonderful (right now for us) happening in our life. I try to start a couple of days in the week with some thoughtful words for them to carry with them during the days.
This morning we read this together. I print it out and hang it on our billboard as a reminder.
