Find Your Middle Ground

* Guardians of Being

Guardians of our Being

“Millions of people who otherwise would be completely lost in their minds and in endless past and future concerns are taken back by their dog or cat into the present moment, again and again and reminded of the joy of Being.”

Eckhart Tolle from “Guardians of Being”

So true!

For those of you who are guardians of four legged beings, let them help you find your middle ground with snuggles, peace and joy over the holiday season!

    What a terrific quotation from Eckhart Tolle. Our dogs and cats are such a beautiful example of being centered in the present, and the peace and tranquility it can bring.

    Thank you Val. Ellie the Wonder Pooch did this for me always — and now, Marley The Great Cat does his best…. but… he is a cat you know and it is his right to be treated as King. 🙂
