Carole,
Wow!
I believe that I slept through the night for the first time.
What you did not know, witnessed by my sisters, is that just before we left the house to head to the vet's to put Winnie to sleep, a lovely piece of music came on the radio. I picked up Winston and said, "Indulge me one last time." And we danced. My sisters smiled. I'd done this with him since he was a pup and he always seemed to just put up with me.
I've been asking myself how I'm going to unload all the clothing that I am not wearing now that life/work is more casual and feeling as though I'd like to lighten up my life. Maybe I'll take a day off to do it. I"ve even thought about the house.
I tell you this little spirit has been one incredible journey and I'm comforted knowing it will continue. The saddness was in thinking it was over.
Thank you, Carole.
Memorial Reading with Winnie
By Carole Devereux
The following is a reading for a client with her dog, Winnie, after he had crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Her comments follow the reading .
Keep yourself moving. Big strokes. [I saw he was referring to a huge painting, which he was recommending you paint] Sell the house and get something smaller and easier. UNBURDEN YOURSELF! Lighten up!
[Then he showed me how he has a new direction for you.] Lots of different colorful costumes, make up, wigs, unleashing your flamboyant side.
I want what I want. No was not a word I knew. Everything is possible and it still is.
I am light and I move from house to house, friends, Mother, ex, I follow you where ever you go, yoga classes, restaurants. Look for me there, I am below your right knee, or sometimes on your lap.
When was the last time you painted a room? Start somewhere to redecorate your life. Start over now. Bring all your clothes to Goodwill. Give everything away. Stop wondering. Start knowing. I know you're smart. Tell them so they know too.
What challenges you is commitment. When you commit to yourself you will find that others commit too. You committed to me because I was easy to care for, or at least that's what you thought. Then it got tough but you just got tougher too so see you can commit, to this and more. And no you're not too tired. If you think the word tired you will be that. If you think joy, you will be joy. Like me. I was joyful even though I had issues about my power, my size and my sickness.
Then the dance will begin. Movement, dance, light, color, music, paint, food and love all around us ~ still.
Carole: Winnie did Beverly do the right thing for you in this life?
Winnie: When I was heavy, she was light. When she was heavy, I was light. You'll know where I am when you see the pink light come on. It is neon pink. High Light. Pink light. Erase all black from your wardrobe. Never think black again.
Carole: How did you teach Beverly about life?
Winnie: When she wanted something from life that was not good for her, like something too materialistic or sensual, I would throw up on it.
Carole: So you did the opposite to balance her out?
Winnie: I wasn't finished yet. She needs to get another one [dog] just like me.
Carole: Another Terrier?
Winnie: Yes. Just like me. A very new pup and raise it with me in the light. All my memories must go for something. We'll do it together. I'll tell her what to do when he's bad, and how to love him when he's good.
Joy means you can see past your worries even if just for a short time and be glad you are alive and still have time to make a material difference to the flow of energies around you. Keep going. I'm here. I'm going to be helping you establish a new relationship, a new friend. Then I may leave for a while to rest.
[To establish a relationship with a new man in your life.]
Carole: Thank you Winnie.
Winnie: Think big, act small. (Think globally, act locally?) Plant a garden in my name with your favorites flowers. Move on with your life. Open your heart again and you will not be disappointed. I give you my Winnie Promise.
