On this, the eve of the two year anniversary of my dear friend's passing, I'm re-posting the story I wrote about her, about us, the day after she left this mortal coil. Before you read this, please call or text that one person you've been meaning to reach out to. Take that time. Even if… Continue reading Two Years Gone

Maddie and Teddy
I drove to Brooklyn and back, all by myself. I brought my passport, just in case they checked at the border and gave some cute stamp. But enough about me—this is about Maddie and Teddy. Several weeks ago, Maddie developed an abscess on the bottom of her back paw. Maddie and Teddy’s mom sought immediate… Continue reading Maddie and Teddy
Ella and Monkey
The Catnip and Carrots waiting room is like Cheers for our rabbit rescue family. Anytime you walk through those doors and sit on those benches, you are bound to meet someone who knows your name, even if it’s just from interaction in our incredibly supportive online community. An afternoon in July of 2014, I sat… Continue reading Ella and Monkey
Vortex of Appreciation
Sunday morning. I’ve been out as a morning person for quite some time now. Even the word morning sends a tingle through me. Know thyself and embrace those strengths. Just before these manicured fingers began to dance across the keyboard, I was listening to a podcast recorded by my teacher Gabrielle Bernstein, available through her… Continue reading Vortex of Appreciation
Cameron
On the last Monday in March, I paid a special visit to a special little boy. Quick backstory: Cameron was rescued with four other rabbits right before Halloween. He was adopted shortly after the New Year and returned right before Valentine’s Day. We don’t get many returns (thankfully). Cameron had fallen ill and his adopters… Continue reading Cameron
Missing Piece
I am no longer allowing this missing piece translate to missing peace. I am telling a new story. You are the first to hear about it. Grateful to you for “listening” today. I’ve been holding back from truly stepping into a component of this work and of my personal development because there is a piece… Continue reading Missing Piece
It’s been a Year.
This isn’t about rabbits or Reiki. A year ago, we said goodbye—well, sort of. I said I would see you later that week. I said we would talk more then (and I silently promised to turn my damn phone off at our next visit—no pointless distractions). I walked out of your front door, it was… Continue reading It’s been a Year.
Amira
“They” say the energy goes where it needs to go—distance and time are not limitations, unless you treat them that way. I’ve done my share of Distance Reiki sessions and I often “channel” furbabies from afar, but last weekend was my first official leap around the world: a Reiki session with a doggy in Australia!… Continue reading Amira
Perspective
You’ve heard it or read it a thousand times before… “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” -Dr. W. Dyer That concept has swirled around me the past few days. (Look at Summer Denise, writing on a Tuesday instead of Sunday… scandalous!). I’m getting more and more… Continue reading Perspective
Ashley
You bought a rabbit. I don’t know why. Maybe your kids were begging you for one, promising they would take care of her. Maybe you thought a rabbit would be an easy starter pet. Maybe you didn’t think much about it, just bought her on a whim—she was cute. Or maybe someone bought her for… Continue reading Ashley
