I wrote this manuscript back in 2000 about child and women abuse. I was single, no children and wanted it that way.
The Editor at the Publishing Company thought it was a page turner. The Chief of the Publisher said no — 👨🏻with the words; “no normal person wants to read about this subject.”
Are we ready now! 💪🏻 I sure am…again.
(❤️ no pity pls, instead 💪🏻)
This is my pack!
Every early morning are they gathering together in my office to attend our meditation.
It’s an amazing and powerful feeling, when they also”lower” themselves into a pleasant deep meditation.
Occasionally, I hear one of my Seniors snore peacefully in the background. That is a wonderful heartwarming sound to hear.
After twenty minutes mostly of us do the stretch, then breakfast. What a great way to start the day!
I love my pack of “mini Buddhist” as I have always called them.
That’s Amore!
In a couple of hours am I meeting a woman I admire in many ways.
She is the founder of the nonprofit organization Kainos. A ministry working against human trafficking and sexual exploitation in prostitution.
Their vision is to see freedom for victims of human trafficking and sexuality exploitation with an opportunity for a new life.
We rescued two amazing Bearded Dragons. American family returning back home after some years here in Europe.
They came to our home, AWL Sanctuary.
When cleaning their home they are using me as their climbing tree!
That’s Amore!
I have to admit, my heart is soft for Senior dogs. Having had my foundation now since 1999 and working with rescuing animals (most dogs) I have met hundreds of wonderful Seniors. Yes, it is not for a very long time you get to keep them(years), however, the time seems in a way longer when you are together with them (time). If that makes any sense.
I have had to say good bye to many Seniors, but I have always been by their side. Always!
In my home I have right now eight (8) Seniors that I adore. I don’t like traveling as much as I did earlier, even if I love traveling 😉 I cut down 50% with my travels.
Instead I love laying reading and hearing their deep snoring next to me or on the floor on their own bed(s). How they wake up and takes the day with grande relaxing tempo, like the southern Italian dogs they are (ok one American). And….their love is priceless, their deepness in their eyes when they look at you. They make you feel like a Hero!
This January we had to say good bye to one of our rescue dogs Jazz. For one year she had problems holding her bladder. I rolled away the carpets and mopping buckets on every floor.
My husband growled a little.
I looked at him with a wrinkle between my eyes and said, “When you get old(er) and start to wet yourself, am I going to get ride of you too?”
I have a hard time understanding people who suddenly abandon their old friend just because he is old and smelly. It shows me their (people) evaluation about becoming old.
My heart become warm when I read about more and more Senior Sanctuaries are opening, and …..that so many more people dare to adopt a Senior.
That’s Amore!
