STRONG FROM THE PAST

                     

                                                     I have never met a strong person
                                                     that has had an easy past.

The Time is Flying Away

Shame on me....really I wouldn't punish my thoughts with that word.  Words can help guide us the right directions  --- or --- the wrong directions.

However, I apologise that my blog hasn't been updated in one month!  It was a shock to me when I logged in today.  The time really speeded past me.

Or is it me that got speeded up?

I think so!

I love my life. I try to find a bored moment just to feel bored, like in a waiting room at the doctor when the doctor is running late.  There is nothing to read and my iPhone's battery just died.

But I am never bored.  (And I avoid doctors waiting rooms.)

Someone asked me what I do, and I started to wonder that too.

I home school my children, and once a week they go and have lessons together with other homeschooled children.

My son Max meets for soccer practice on Mondays and then has games on Fridays.  Today I am washing the whole teams' outfits.  I feel like a good mom.

Olivia, my daughter is riding five times a week on the most beautiful horse ever, "Sunshine".

I write for the Magazine Tidningen Nara, a column about animals' thoughts and feelings.

I try to finish my manuscript and actually, I am working on two book manuscripts at the same time.

For Animals Without Limits --- the organisation I founded 1999 --- I am working a couple of hours a day with as well.

I have also decided to take up my old "work" holding lectures and animal communications.  It is so inspiring to meet wonderful people that have the same interest as me.  Its a great, clear-wind from rescuing animals were I many times had to fight and compromise with animals.

To combine the two interests is a wonderful balance in my already hectic life.

So, except for all this, I am a "normal" mom and housewife:  Cleaning, washing and cooking....and taking care of 12 dogs, two lizards and thank God Above....the guppy fish are vanishing on their own.

That's Amore!

DO YOU WANT TO ARRANGE A VERY DIFFERENT WORKSHOP

Do you want to arrange a workshop, there are some dates left if you want me to come to your city, country. 

Either in Swedish or English. Send me an email awlrescueteam@gmail.com for more details

Can the Animals speak to us?!

Do not miss this unique opportunity to listen to animal communicator and author Mia Mattsson-Mercer, who has dedicated her life to helping vulnerable animals.

She is the author of the (Swedish) Best Sellers: "Listen when the animals talk," "Become the animals' voice" and "Learn to receive animals messages".

Mia is a real globetrotter who has lived and worked in a number of countries, including Bosnia & Herzegovina, Italy, Bahrain, and the USA, but now she’s living in southern Germany.

She is the woman behind the organization Animals Without Limits (AWL); that among other things runs a hospice for dogs in Italy, where the old and sick street dogs receive care and love. Mia works according to the "no-kill" principle, which means that no healthy or treatable individuals are being killed under her watch.

AWL also works with neutering and medical care of street dogs and help to animals in war-torn, chaotic and crisis-ridden countries.

Participants will take part in Mia's exciting experiences and also get the keys to how they themselves can understand their animals in the best way.

You will laugh, cry, be amazed and impressed when Mia starts her program. With great empathy and great gestures she tells us about her commitment - no animal is too small or insignificant to be embraced by her love and commitment.

She works with everything from turtles to prominent racehorses, dolphins in captivity to family pets.

Listen to exciting stories, such as when Mia was hired by the Swedish Royal Family and invited to the Royal Family in Bahrain, and when she worked with Dolphins in captivity at an aquarium in Switzerland.

Can you really have a conversation with animals?

Yes, it is actually possible. Just take the time

to listen. And Mia takes the time!

Hear her tell about her "conversation therapy:" dogs who complain that they can not share the bed with mom or dad or who believes he is a Police Detective; the depressed turtle; or the horse that wouldn’t jump anymore! 

Picture and slides will be displayed to illustrate, stimulate and entertain.

Welcome to an exciting day full of knowledge and new insights!

CLIPPERS & BED DONATIONS

When I was in Sweden, I told Milla about not having any claw clippers here in Campania area. We need clippers and for the Shelter dogs. Milla gave me hers and wow that was a fantastic one. Lindy who is AWL volunteer told her friend in the states about our need, and to our joy we received seven fantastic clippers and different fur products. Thank you so much for your generous care package; Patricia Sakellarides from Arlington, Virginia.

I flew home with this comfortable dog bed that a costumer had donated to Malaro Farsfoder. Thank you so much.

Thank you Tina from Malaro Farsfoder for all the wonderful treats a whole carton of goodies.

All you wonderful Amore people, we cannot thank you enough but this picture above does.

After my lecture in Sweden came Ulla Lindner and her friend Birgitta Hladisch, who gave extra money donation to AWL. Thank you so much and we promise it will come in handy paws!

In Sweden!

Just as I didn't really remember it... windy, rainy, cold. Both myself and Olivia have the sniffles!

Here we leave 28 degrees celsius in southern Italy, and 13 hours later, we require winter clothes to walk down the street! Short walks, indeed!

Held a lecture last night for a dog organization in southern Sweden that went very well, a great audience that seemed very interested in what I had to say through the 2-hours of talking (then they carried me out!)

I laced various elements of my experiences into the lecture... from Animal Communication to homeless dogs to animal rescue in Italy to Bosnia and Bahrain. Even a little bit about my family, when the only picture they could display from the disc was of my husband holding little Shiloh when I brought her home in 2004 (just 3 weeks old! She fit in the palm of his hand!)

Olivia is enjoying playing with mormor (grandma) and it is mutual!

Going to meet with my publisher today for coffee and cake. We'll see what else they might have on the table!

Hej da!
