Certain places in the natural world hold medicine for the mind and spirit, offering clarity, grounding, and reconnection. It reminds you that returning to these personal power places is a way of listening more deeply to yourself and to the living world that supports your unfolding. It encourages a rhythm of stepping away so you can return more aligned, more centered, and more attuned to your own truth.

As you feel into this, what kind of place tends to open that inner doorway for you most easily right now?

Text on Image: “Sometimes your spirit calls you back to the place where the land can hear your thoughts, where the wind clears the noise from your mind, and where the earth helps you remember what truly matters. These sacred spots are not escapes, they are gateways where your inner knowing rises to meet you.”

Please take down your soccer nets when not in use. Or any netting left on the ground. I have had a black snake caught in a collapsed net. Live and hopefully learn!

THE DANGERS OF SOCCER NETS - I know it sounds crazy that a soccer net could be dangerous, but when it comes to wildlife, believe me - they cause many injuries and deaths every year.

Take for example, this Great Horned Owl that came in yesterday. She was tangled up pretty badly in a net and did a lot of soft tissue damage to her wing trying to escape - so much that she can’t fly. You can see the bruising in the bottom picture.

On top of that, her blood won’t clot, so she is likely dealing with rat poison as well. Blood that should have clotted within 5 minutes is still liquid 24 hours later.

It gets even worse guys as she has a brood patch. That’s a patch of bare skin on a birds belly that develops during breeding season to help incubate eggs.

In other words - she has babies somewhere.
Hopefully her mate will be able to care for them while she is recovering, as she is in no shape to be able to care for herself, let alone babies right now.

A big thank you to Dr. Kalani and staff at Littleton Animal Hospital for examining her for us yesterday.

Please please please, when you aren’t using soccer nets, take them down. It’s something that a lot of people don’t realize can be very dangerous for wildlife, so please spread the word.

Before the flood of new pups hit the adoption circuit next week we want to give Alma her chance to steal the spotlight before getting overshadowed.

This 7-8 month old puppy is an incredibly well balanced girl. She gets along with everyone including pups, felines and all humans. Her personality is as gentle as her touch. Alma is a very submissive, never overbearing pup. She likes human affection but will never demand it. Her manners extend to other pups as well, never challenging or overpowering them. Her puppy skills of crate, leash and house training have been superb. We really can’t say enough good things about this brindle baby. Alma will undoubtedly make an amazing forever pup, she just needs the forever family that is willing to make that happen. If you think Alma could be the puppy for you email jonesm4318@gmail.com today! If you can’t adopt be sure to like, share, and comment on Alma’s post to help her out.❤️
