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.

“My dad throws books at my mother when he is drunk.”

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.

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👑

I Need You in My Life

💚 This summer gave us amazing weather to work outside together with our Horses in Harmony and the Young Children and Teenagers.
When “broken” souls can breathe their whole body goes into relax mode and can better start to heal. (Same with “broken” Animals)

We also created a small group to sit together and if wanted, share stories. Here we are all understand that no one judges, or gives answers/advice. We listen and share.

After I shared my story their eyes were big out of surprise, but then another one started talking. It was amazing, because everyone felt each other, No words needed, only ears.

We even could laugh together, and next moment be serious. Afterwards there was this bond between us. Just like the Rescue Horses connected when first arriving, and now, we connect with them and each other.

Another thing I noticed was that to be able to start healing,we want to be heard, but also feel heard. That’s the first step in the right direction. Just like we did to our broken horses when they came. See them, hear them and listen to them. Now That’s Amore!

Please help us continue rescuing animals and to give back to the young ones. They learn to become amazing with Animals. And to realize that we are the same when it comes to have emotional intelligence We all are the future!

Food Store Stranger Kindness

0

Yesterday, I had an interesting evening experiencing “No to Stranger Kindness”.

In the checkout line when I was going to pay for my groceries, I noticed I had four 10 euro coupons in this particular store. However, what I didn’t know, was that I could only use one for each payment.

Evening, tired, and just before closing time, my heart dropped. I would lose 30 euro because they expired this same day.

I turned quickly to the man standing behind. Did he maybe want one coupon for free? He looked surprised, but after a few seconds he accepted it.

Before paying my grooseries, I ran up to other people asking, “would you like to have 10 euro coupon for free?” To my very surprise, they all looked away turning down the money gift!

At this moment even the cashiers looked stunned, over what just happened.

“Was it turned down because I was a stranger?” I asked the man.

We all started to speculate. Maybe it was strange with “Stranger Kindness!”

It was a strange “ok” experience. —
