Very unexpectedly, a beloved family member transitioned into Spirit this past week.
Micaleen, was our last surviving Arctic rescue from our years up in Frobisher Bay (Iqaluit). Some irresponsible, loopy crackpot up there had the notion to create a ‘Super Guard Dog’ by breeding a Rottweiler with one of the massive Nordic Innuit Dogs chained to the pack ice.
Micaleen, better known to this list as “The Gargantuan, Wiggling Earred, Tan, Barrel-shaped, Innuit Hipootoomoose” from Champ’s Serengeti adventures, was in fact, the sweetest, funniest, most kind and most ‘human-loving’ of our entire pack…(including Tom & me)
We often called her the ‘Walmart Greeter’ as she was the first to offer a warm welcome to any human who had gotten the green light to enter the Inner Sanctum, after thorough ‘body (& mind) inspection’ by the front line German Shepherds and India, our sabre-nosed, psychic, alien Greyhound.
Her unbridled love of humans always amazed me, as I rescued her when she was a puppy from an Innuit boy who was amusing himself by swinging her by her back leg around his head and smashing her to the ground when I called out to him from the police cruiser. She was only 5 weeks old.
Somehow, she not only survived, but soon thrived and her joi de vivre and comic genius blessed our family every, single day of her life. It didn’t matter how tough life was getting at times, Micaleen, or ‘Schmooopy’ as we affectionately call her, had the power to have us instantly ‘change state’. Uplifted and laughing in no time, her little nub of a tail wiggling and waggling in glee when she knew her antics had accomplished the job… 
She was also the family ‘cop’… If some of the fur kids started to get a little out of hand with each other, Moopy would hurl her body in between them and break it up before ‘it’ would have much of a chance to start… Madly wiggling that little nub and ‘licky-licky’ing’ everybody’s faces, sticking it in their ear’s and up their noses, her huge tongue blinding them, while squirming in between, under and over every- body involved… 115 pounds of pure *distraction,* who could remember what the fight was about?!?!?!!?
She enjoyed a healthy appetite and abundant health all of her life, though in later years, lipomas became an issue. (Rottie’s tend to be predisposed to this I learned) She was species appropriate fed with a natural raw diet and every meal you placed in front of her was received as though you were Julia Child and this was the first meal Moopy ever tasted…
She loved oranges and apples and indeed enjoyed a ’secret code’ with her Onkel Christoph when he visited, where she would osmosis him every evening, and he would immediately get up and peel and quarter them for her.
But Carrots were her ‘Crack-Cocaine’… I can’t even describe how cute it was to see this tiny puppy up in the arctic go crazy-happy when presented with a carrot! She continued to love to eat them with that same ebullience all of her life.
We called her ‘our Baby’ even though Onyx came after her…
Our sweet, adorable, little happy baby, Micaleen…
She looked the way she has a thousand times while dreaming of ‘chasing rabbits’…
But it was a small seizure….
Cradled in the arms of Tom, Onkel Christoph and me, Micaleen peacefully transitioned into Spirit on the Full Moon.
It was a miracle that kid was doing what he was doing to her the very moment I pulled up in the police cruiser that day so long ago… A moment earlier, a moment later and I would have missed the whole thing, never seeing that tiny ball of Innuit fur that sooooo enriched our lives…
It was a miracle that she survived what he had done to her…
It was a miracle that my Shepherds accepted her into their pack…
It was a miracle that in her later years, she accepted Champ & Star into her pack…
Her attitude and life’s Motto, “Always Carrots/Always Happy,” to me, was an inspirational miracle...
But then, she just had a way of creating miracles all around her… We thank her so, for sharing the miracle of her life…
God knows, I’m going to need a miracle this week to get by here… here, in the cavern emptiness of her physical loss.

I’ve never been able to understand a person who could utter the words, “I’m bored.”
Being a human in this world is a heaven sent, golden opportunity to be constantly amazed with mind enhancing, soul expanding, learning extravaganzas.
To me, it is an utter impossibility to be bored!
It doesn’t matter how many years you will be around, you simply won’t get to the end of ‘everything’ there is to know about life and earth living in one lifetime.
There are just so many staggeringly interesting things to learn!
There are vastly more exhilarating topics than there are people to explore them.
Doesn’t it make you excited just to think of the potentialities?
Access to knowledge is limitless.
If you don’t like to read about knowledge, you don’t have to read to learn… (though I highly recommend you learn to read 
)
If you don’t like or know how to use computers, you don’t have to receive your knowledge from that either, though I think computers have added an abundance of possibilities and worlds of information at the touch of a finger.
Though as Wikipedia will attest, not everything you read on the ‘net’ is 100% true (“Feel full & Mellow all the time and lose weight on the Marshmellow Diet!”) but it will give you a good start!
There are gripping documentaries on public television that will enrapture your mind and take it away on a mini-vacation! (In case it wasn’t doing anything that weekend)
There are radio programs with provocative guests to learn about topics you never knew even existed…
There are PEOPLE, some of them even in your own family
(I know! The shock of it!!), you can have spellbinding conversations with and acquire knowledge about where it is you came from.
The trials and tribulations of your own people… The accumulated life experiences of the ’stock from which you came’…
Particularly interesting, is finding the eldest relative in your family and giving them a couple of hours of ‘listen time.’ Rather than thinking there isn’t anything at all they can tell you about life, LISTEN in a new, open way and allow yourself to come into the possession of knowledge unique and wonderfully enriching in a way no one else can give you knowledge.
So many ways to learn, soooo little time!
If you aren’t thrilled with one way, use another!
One of my favourite ways to learn about the wonders of existence, is to bring myself ‘to level’ into the Kahuna Mind State (an altered brain wave state), which opens up an entirely new plane of learning. I’ve taught how to enter into these different brain states at my Gatherings and Seminars, so many of you on this list are familiar with the techniques. For those of you not familiar with it or if you want to re freshen your memory and train and improve your skills I invite you to check out the meditation here at http://www.ano-hou.com/products/secrets-of-the-kahuna-mind/ .
Did you ever wonder how your favourite hydrangea plant experiences its’ existence?
Why not go to level and experience it for yourself?
Have you ever thought about what life was like on Atlantis?
Why not go to level and experience it for yourself?
Have you ever thought about what someone else was thinking?
Why not go to level and ‘put their head on’?
Have you ever wondered how your pet was feeling?
Why not go to level and look inside their body?
Or while at level, simply ask them how they are and what they need?
How can *anyone*, anyone with a brain, say they are bored?
With a brain, you have no limitations. With a brain, you can go anywhere, see or even ‘be’ anything or anyone… You can do do and experience, ANYTHING that you like.
Those of us who teach, know there is no end to ‘Study’.
It is simply another word for Learning/Research/Knowledge & Enlightenment. I believe, once you reach your thirties you realize that indeed, you don’t really know ‘everything’ as you perhaps once believed in your early twenties and teenage years.
You learn that life is a never-ending ocean of abundant learning and it’s just too fascinating a ride to ever really want to get off.
Remember, as you continue along life’s journey, it’s a good thing to be a little cracked…
That way, you’ll always let in a little Light.
STUDY
Brightest Blissings!
Challenge yourself to learn something ‘new’ each day!

A couple of years back, when I was a teenager (o.k. o.k., maybe a little bit more than a couple of years ago 
) living far, far away from home and family in the wild interior of British Colombia, I had the experience of being in a car driven by a drunk driver.
Yes of course in today’s world, I’m sure I would have had a few more options than I did that dark night, but as it stood at the time, I found myself with the option of taking my chances running the 20 miles back to my mountainous residence through the thickly forested bush without compass or direction, but certainly with plentiful Cougars, Grizzly Bear’s and Sasquatch as incentive to pick up the pace, OR, getting in the car with ‘Mormon Sam’ (not his real name) on the night, unbeknownst to me, that he decided to give “demon alcohol” a first taste, backed up with a good dose of, that good ol’ college try…
Five minutes into the drive, I knew we were going to crash. ‘Crazy Sam’(o.k. that’s his real name) had just that very day picked up his brand new car and wanted to ’show me what his car could do’… sigh… Faster and faster he drove as he manoeuvred the perilous cliff edges, winding and climbing the black mountain road.
The wise words of my Father ran hauntingly through my brain,
“No matter where you are, no matter what time it is, CALL ME if you find yourself in a situation with a drunk driver and can’t get home… NEVER get into a car with a drunk! I’ll come and get you.”
But Dad was 3,000 miles away and there was no(sober)body else… There weren’t any taxi’s in this remote village and there wasn’t anyone else to turn to…
I tried to rationalize the decision in my mind even as I mentally apologized to my Father for letting him down…
I pictured him sobbing over my closed casket, (the body sustained too much catastrophic damage to be displayed) asking ‘Why? OH why was my child such an idiot???’ over and over again…
I remember taking one long, last drag of my cigarette and leaning over and putting it out in the ashtray because I didn’t want a lit cigarette to ignite the fuel from the damaged and leaking gas tank after impact. I wondered how much damage the ‘case of 24′ Psycho Sam asked me to hold on my lap for the drive home would do to my insides after it shattered and impaled me. Then the final moment came…
The last thing I heard was Sam gleefully boasting, ‘95mph in fourth!’
The last thing I saw, was a telephone pole heading right for me…
The last thing I heard, was my Father’s voice…”NEVER get into a car with a drunk!”
I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever, that the only way I survived that crash was through Divine intervention and the quick work of my own beloved Guardian Angel.
It might not have been that obvious…
It may not have been that dramatic…
But I assure you, YOUR Guardian Angel has been there for you…
Sometimes, as in my experience above, their power, grace and intervention has been very,very clear. Other times, perhaps a little more subtle.
*Everybody* has a Guardian Angel (at least one) whether you believe in them or not…
Not only has your Guardian Angel been with you since you were born in this lifetime, but yours was assigned to you the very moment you were a spark that entered into an individual existence, and yours will stay with you until the very end of all time.
Feel the safety and LOVE your Guardian Angel has for you now… Ask for a name… Take the first thing that comes to you…
Take a moment and thank your Guardian Angel for their unwavering, eternal devotion to you.
GUARDIAN ANGEL

When was the last time you looked deep, deeeeep into the beautiful limpid eyes of some extraordinarily splendid, decidedly unique, magnificently brilliant and most adored and beloved treasured specimen of God and said, “I Love You” with the utmost of sincerity?
When was the last time you said that, looking into the mirror?
YESSS, the mirror!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you expect to love someone else, when you don’t know how to love yourself?
YES I’m talking about you, you and YOU over there, looking yourself straight in the face and rather than starting your usual morning critique of, ‘OHHHH my GAWD look at that bird’s nest of a hair-do!
(If there’s even enough still there to keep an egg warm)
or
When did I get THAT wrinkle?!?!?
or
I never had hair growing there before?!?!?!?
or
It’s official…I finally have bigger jowls than my bull dog!!!!!!!!!
or
OH Sure I always wanted a bust size 38 D, but NOT a 38 LONG!!!!!!
or
“My nose is too big!”
or (the infamous)
“I’m too fat!”
Please, TRY THIS…and HAVE FUN doing it.
If you hear yourself beginning to ‘bad talk’ yourself in the mirror, CANCEL THAT THOUGHT!!!
Immediately replace it with positive verbiage that will indubitably make you smile
Do NOT let your ‘tag ends’ take away your lovin’ thunder!
Start off and end your day with some good ol’ fashioned positive, self-affirming LOVE…
C’mon, you do it for *everybody* else… Do it for yourself…
JUST DO IT!
Then teach your children and/or your grandchildren, your parents and/or your grandparents to do it too!
I mean, WHO, I ask you WHO spends more time with you than you?!?!?!?
Learn to be your *best company*…
Learn to be your *favourite fan*…
Do you like to hang around negative people??
Of course not!
Well, then… Hellllllewwwwwwwwwwwww????
En-lighten up! Use your alone time wisely…
Help you, help YOU!
Instead of:
“OH look at that bird’s nest of a hair”…
Say = “I’ve never felt soooo freeeee!” “My style, is my own!” “Today, I’m honouring Bird Mothers everywhere!”
“Less hair = MORE time for FUN!”
“Where did I get THAT winkle?!?” = You know exactly where you got it, and you know you EARNED it… It’s a badge of honour that you live to tell about!!! Get more attention than E.F. Hutton by saying, “Let me tell you about the day I earned this wrinkle right here… ” Everybody knows it’s going to be a great story
“I never had hair growing there before!” = “I have the power to GROW HAIR!!!!… I can grow hair where-ever and when-ever I want.” I’m just testing out these new locations 
“I finally have bigger jowls than my Bulldog!” = “NOW I can win those ‘Pet Look Alike’ contests and end up on a reality show!!! ” :-$
“I always wanted a bust size 38D but not 38 LONG!” = OH stop quibbling! 38 is still a 38!! Think of all that extra time foreplay will take!!
“I’m too fat!” Did you reallllly say that to yourself???? Would you tell someone you love that they are too fat?
Didn’t you mean it when you said, ‘Size doesn’t matter???’
Love test 101… How do I love me? Let me count the ways…
“I’m currently experimenting on the many different looks that are available to me”…
“My hormones wanted to play, and I decided to let them have some fun for awhile.”
“I saw this amazing outfit, and it only came in a plus size!”
“There I was, working on my mind and my body took advantage of me not looking…”
“My body wanted me to understand, that I deserve my place in this world… my place in this world, is just bigger than I thought it was.”
Put your hand on your heart, look into the mirror and repeat,
I LOVE YOU… Use your name… Harry/Sally/John/Josephine, I LOVE YOU… Tell yourself in the same way that you would express it to the love of your life…Love your mind, love your body, LOVE your ‘whole package’ and watch how it will respond to you, in kind…
Remember, you are a child of GOD… Most adored and beloved, always and forever…
There are veritable legions of Angels whose very existence is to watch over you, love you, and keep you safe for every moment of every day you are away from ‘Home’… You are the finest, most brave, most worthy and precious throughout the entire Galaxy… And you are truly, most decidedly, most thoroughly LOVED.
Start here, start now…
BELIEVE in WHO YOU ARE.
(after you’re done with you, send some love to our Canadien’s for game #7 )
SELF-ACCEPTANCE

The month of May has always been a ‘big celebration’ month in our home.
My dear Father had a POW! ‘hit to the left’ (my birthday)
BLAM! a hit to the right! (My Sister’s birthday) and
KABOOOOM! The Trifecta Knockout, ‘Mother’s Day’ quickly following all within a week of each other!
Spirited chorus’s of ‘Happy Birthday’ & ‘Stolat’ (may you live 100 years) crescendoed throughout the week, as mouth-watering torte after torte, exotic-scented bouquet after bouquet and brightly wrapped, ribbon festooned gift packages were presented.
It was a bonanza of a week that at some point was affectionately dubbed, ‘Queen’s Week.’
O.k., it might have been me who dubbed it that.
From birthdays to Full Moons, I am big on ‘ceremony’!
Last year, right in the middle of Queen’s Week, in fact, on my Sister’s birthday, May 7th, sitting in a doctor’s office, my Mother received her diagnosis of ‘Multiple Myeloma’… She was flat out told that day, that there was ‘no cure’ for her rare cancer but that chemo could possibly prolong her life. This imbecilic doctor, who apparently doesn’t believe in ‘bedside manner’, the power of prayer or even GOD, further gave her the ‘time limit’ that she had left to live ‘if she were lucky’ and did the chemo protocol as per his instructions. He even went so far as to huffily spew out to my Mother, “Well, c’mon Mrs. Donovan, you’re in your late 70’s now, just how LONG do you want to keep living anyway?????
For those of you who read the ‘updates on Halina’ every week, you know that amongst the subsequent massive heart attack, Quadruple By Pass Surgery, intense nausea, chemo therapy and other treatments, physical pain and drastic weight loss, she has been battling depression, and what I call, ‘What’s It All About Alfie’ Syndrome… Which I believe is the hardest to deal with of them all..It is almost impossible to make sense out of a ’senseless’ tragedy when you are looking into the eyes of a frightened Loved One.
There have been alot more ‘Celebrations’ in our family since that diagnosis… From the ‘biggies’ of surviving the massive heart attack, invasive surgery, to being able to hold down a bowl of pourridge in her tummy and hold onto a pound… If there is one thing that *teaches* you to Celebrate the moments of your life, it’s the fact of never being sure which day will be your last one here…
And NOBODY knows when that day will come for them.
For those of you who have been through tragedy in your lives, you know of what I speak…
For those of you who haven’t as yet learned the preciousness of the Gift you have been given, and especially for those who learned and have since forgotten, take it from me, and from those who share with you, with the knowledge that only comes from the battle scars of having lived through the fight, or stood on the front lines with a Beloved One while they did, and *remember* this…
*Every Day*
Wake up and let the very first thought that enters your head be, ‘I am deeply Grateful for my Life.’
If you think you cannot think of anything, start off with being grateful for waking up! Not to mention, being able to BREATHE, and WALK, and HEAR, and SEE… that might get you rollin’
Then go ahead and live that day, like you mean it…
Celebrate your life!
Find *some thing* in the course of your day to stop and take notice of, and give thanks for the opportunity of enjoying whatever it is…
Why?
Because a funny thing happens to you, when you are grateful for what you have… You are gifted with more…
Is it a beautiful day?
Did you see a most ‘perfect’ flower or sunset?
Did you enjoy a most delicious cup of coffee or a fine wine?
Did you finally get the heating bill paid? Change that leaky faucet?
Did some complete stranger smile at you today? Smile back!!
(o.k but not to the one’s who are looking at you as though they are trying to figure out if you would fit in their freezer)
Tell *everyone* you love, ‘I Love You.’
Don’t be surprised when someone says it to you!
My Father often told my Mother’s toy poodle ‘Myszka’, “I Love You,” and Myszka would promptly respond with “I Love You,” right back to him!
I know, if I didn’t see/hear it with my own eyes & ears I wouldn’t have believed it either…
I’ve been trying to get my Great Dane, Onyx to say, ‘I Love You Mamma’ ever since… The best I’ve gotten is an air burp back in my face… and yes… I’ve CELEBRATED THAT TOO! ) At least he makes an effort!!!
Because you simply cannot, NOT Celebrate life!
It’s just tooo precious a gift to let all the moments spill away into oblivion… unnoticed…
We are here TODAY…
You never know, it might be all we get…
Challenge yourself!
How many things can YOU celebrate this week?
CELEBRATION!
Brightest Blissings!
Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone, and Hug a Mom Today!
