I am home and it all went well. No surprises. Blowing up like a balloon inside the cast- ice is my friend.

Thank you to everyone who has supported in sooo many ways. Eternal gratitude🙏💙

PS. Tara thinks the smell of the arm and the bandage are appalling

REMINDER that I will be OUT OF THE OFFICE for hand surgery and recovery Dec 30 through February.
I am able to do distance Reiki beginning January 15, if anyone needs anything. I can also help with massage evaluations and techniques for your dog on Zoom.
Email bluemoonwellness@yahoo.com or send me a message.

Wishing everyone a safe New Year's Eve and a 2026 filled with the blessings of great love, peace, joy and ease- and an abundance of all of these things.

" Legend has it that on the night of the nativity whosoever ventures out into great snows bearing a succulent bone for a lost and lamenting hound, a wisp of hay for a shivering horse, a warm cloak for a stranded wayfarer, a garland of bright berries for one who has worn chains, a dish of crumbs for all huddled birds who thought their song was dead and sweet meats for little children who peer from lonely windows- whosoever prepares this simply abundant tray, 'shall be proffered in return gifts of such an astonishment, as will rival the hues of the peacock and the harmonies of heaven.'"

There is just something about this ceremony... I have done it for years, with many variations, and each time, as I mindfully prepare the tray and set it at the gate... I can't really put all the feelings into words. I don't do it for the gifts "proffered in return." It just feels so peaceful to remember the connection to all. 💖

As 2025 draws to a close, and the rush of the holidays is upon us, I hope you’ll let yourself pause and notice the quieter beauty of this season. Take a moment to sit. Take a breath. Enjoy time with good friends and beloved family. Go for a slow walk with your dog. Curl up by the fire with a book and your cat. Spend a quiet minute brushing your horse and just being present with them.

Winter has its own soft light and stillness, and those peaceful moments matter. I hope you’ll make space for the things that bring you calm, happiness, and joy, and offer a little of that kindness to those who may be struggling this time of year.

Thank you, truly, for allowing me to be a small part of your lives. Wishing you a season filled with quiet beauty, gentle peace, and the company of the animals and people you love.

For any local folks. And if you are not local and would like to contribute, I would be happy to deliver to Willow for you. Thank you, Willow Animal Hospital 🩵

Do you have any bags or cans of food that your pet doesn’t care for? Any gently used blankets or toys that you don’t mind parting with? 🐾

We know times are tough for a lot of us right now, especially now that the holidays are coming. This furlough is especially making people have to choose difficult decisions in regard to their beloved pets. Our friends at City of Manassas Animal Control and Shelter have a Pet pantry available for anyone who’s having a rough time, but unfortunately it’s been quite empty for some time. It’s now reaching critical status for them, so we’d like to help as much as possible!

We’re accepting cat or dog food, cat litter, blankets, toys, paper towels, disinfectant, or laundry detergent to help our friends. Feel free to drop it off any time 8am-7pm Monday through Friday or Saturday 8am-6pm.
