I was Cat’s Eye Writer’s first guest poster! Judy Dunn is Cat’s Eye Writer. Back in June she ran a contest looking for her first guest poster. I decided to join in the fun and won, even though Judy writes about blogging (and she’s an expert, so check her out). It was a great experience […]
What Do Animal Communicators Really Do?
There are so many people doing animal communication that they’ve begun to specialize. I don’t do animal communication exclusively. I communicate with all life, from animals to businesses, homes, and nature, including wild/domestic land and weather systems. Essentially, animal communicators help us telepathically connect with animals, by hearing or seeing them or experiencing their feelings. […]
Lending a Hand … or a Leash
I’m clumsy. I survive by assuming everybody else is, too. Despite the obvious (and frequently embarrassing) hazards, it’s a pretty good way to live. Really. Don’t take me wrong. Injuries, hurt feelings, creepy people and events: not into them. But I am into building community, and for me that can sometimes mean being clumsy. Lending […]
Cool Things We Need to Know
This week we’ve all heard how incompetent we are: according to the media, none of us pee enough or understand that nuclear power was idiotic to begin with. Some of us do and did. That includes me. How about you? While you’re thinking about it, here’s something to like: check out “Field Study Stars Rock […]
Soaring into Spring with the Bald Eagles of Alki
I am constantly blessed to witness the love of art and artistic genius in the world, especially when it’s literally in my back yard.And to bring it to the world as best I can. It is all part of building community. My neighbor and friend, Danny L. McMillin, is an athlete, a computer expert, a […]

The Other Fritzes
My version of the Fritz family is complete with two dogs and a cat (and Fallon, and …). My brother’s version has a Jack Russell terrier, Skittles, and three fantastic humans I am proud and honored to call family. Here’s Ron and Jan with Justin, graduating from the University of Oregon in 2010, and Randall […]
Daily Rituals with Our Animals: Saving the World One Family at a Time
We start and end the day at our house the same way: in a big pile on the bed while I tell my kids, one by one, with many hugs, how much I love them. And why. Every day. Every night. And I get lots of hugs and kisses in return. What astounds me is […]
Yellowstone Adventures: Moose Kissing Beaver
My friend, Margaret, and I decided to visit Yellowstone together. I can’t get enough of Yellowstone, she’d never been, and we knew between the Park’s bounty, our high spirits, and my clumsiness we’d have adventures. Especially since we had no intention of avoiding any (although Margaret thought seeing Old Faithful once was enough, which is […]
