Random Acts of Kick Arse: EQUANIMITY

Finding that inner balance when everything around you seems to be spinning at lightspeed … that, to me, is equanimity. I find it interesting that this is the current theme. I don’t believe in coincidence, so it’s not really surprising, that I just happen to be reading a very interesting book right now. Zero Limits, by Joe Vitale and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, has been on my Nookbook wishlist on Barnes and Noble for some time now, and I was recently inspired to finally download it and read it.

RAOKA for February: Warmth

When I heard that the theme for the month of February was going to be “Warmth”, my first thought was “WTF”? (Which, of course, stands for “Warmth? Through February?”) [Click title to read post ...]

Creature Thoughts February 2011

Every month I do two very regular things in the “blog world”. I put out my monthly Creature Thoughts newsletter, and I write a post to participate in the RAOKA (Random Acts of Kick Arse) movement. This past month, the theme for RAOKA was “New Beginnings”, chosen by Zeenat of Positive Provocations. This month, also, I have been completely wrapped up in the rescue of 100 llamas from the Montana Large Animal Sanctuary, which shut down and abandoned the animals to the elements.

RAOKA’s December Theme: Simplicity

For many years now, my greatest personal desire has been to achieve simple independence. That statement will mean something different to everyone who reads it, I’m sure. For me, however, it’s more the “simple” than the “independence” that rings through my soul. [Click title to read post ...]

November RAOKA Theme: Wonder

I believe in Santa Claus. No, really. “A Sense of Wonder” is something that all children are born with. Everything to a child is magical. They look at the world with eyes filled with curiosity and, if allowed to thrive in a safe and secure environment, very little fear. [Click title to read post ...]

October’s RAOKA Theme was HUGS

Hugs, though not exclusively human (there are quite a few primate species who will hug one another for comfort), are not really a form of affection that other species engage in. Although many people will (in a most primate way) hug their dogs, cats and horses, those species actually tolerate hugs more because they’re incredibly adaptive and forgiving than that they actually like to be hugged.

RAOKA — The Essence of Grace

What do you think of when you hear the word “grace”? Grace is a word that can mean many things to many people, and a myriad of images and emotions runs through my mind when I hear it. [Click title to read post ...]

RAOKA for July: Trust

I believe I’ve learned more about Trust in the last couple of years than in all my many years prior put together. I’ve learned who I can trust, and have learned who I can’t. I’ve learned that you can’t always trust the people who are supposed to be there to help you through hard times. I’ve learned that, sometimes, the ones you didn’t think you’d be able to trust turn out to be the most reliable. However, more than anything else, the ones who’ve taught me the most about Trust have been animals. [Click title to read post ...]

RAOKA for April: Family

“Family” is not necessarily about blood. It’s about people (both human and otherwise) who are there for you to share the laughter, and still there to soak up the tears. Family give from the heart. Family have your back. Family are the ones you’d gladly lay down your life for, and never doubt for a moment that it’s the right thing to do. [Click title to read post ...]
