Listening to the Little One Within – Animal Oracle Reading – Week of March 7th
[image error]
Spirit was having fun with me this week! I have no idea why there are over 13 minutes of dark space at the end of my video this week. So heads up the reading portion is only 13 minutes long in total – not almost 27 minutes as it shows. The funny thing is a teacher I listen to had a similar thing happen to her recently – but her dark space was at the beginning of her video!

Through Frankie's Eyes: One woman's journey to her authentic self, and the dog on wheels who led the way
(Nonfiction)

Description:
Indie Excellence Finalist 2013: Renowned novelist E.M. Forster wrote:
"I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves."
If your authentic self has disappeared beneath a burden of should haves or could haves—pleasing everyone but yourself, worrying about everything that's out of your control while ignoring what only you can change, settling for less than you know you can be—this is such a book. Author Barbara Techel has certainly gone farther down the path toward self-discovery than most of us have dared, and here she shares that journey with readers ready for its influence on their own choices.
It's your time: to grow; to learn from a woman who's overcome her deepest fears to live joyfully, with integrity and intent; and to marvel at the magic of it happening under the guidance and knowing eyes of a small, red dog on wheels. Let this story seep into your consciousness and inspire you—indeed, allow you—to start or continue your own fulfilling journey to who you really are.
You've picked up this book because you're craving the inspiration and uplift it so generously offers. Don't put it down. It’s a gift, if you're ready to accept it. Read it. Hold onto it to remind you that though you may have work to do, you absolutely can achieve the life you're striving for. Free yourself of the things that no longer matter, and embrace how beautiful the world is to someone who can see it…through Frankie's eyes.

A wonderful children's book, Frankie the therapy dog is an inspiration to children and adults alike. He is a great teacher for accepting a mobility impairment and continuing on with joy and presence... Dawn Kairns
Thank you, Robert! I received a special note from a mother a few days ago. Her 3- year old son has cerebal palsey and was upset he would have to wear a brace on his leg at night. She read him Frankie's story. Just before bed he said, "I have to wear my brace just like Frankie." Knowing this positive effect Frankie has on children is one of the best feelings in the world.Thank you for stopping by to share your wonderful thoughts about Frankie and her story. I sincerely appreciate it.
Barb
Hi Barb, There are a couple of points about your inspiring children's book that are very special: the story of Frankie touches the adult reader as well as the child; you inspire children who are also sick, injured, or disturbed with Frankie's story and the way it is also your story and a message of hope.
Robert
Doing well here too. Thanks for what you wrote about Frankie as a therapy dog. I'm actually going to retiring her as of July. :( She will be 13 in August. Time for my little one to enjoy her senior years.
