Celebrating miracles - Unicorn magic

 This is a celebration. When I see news like this I figure someone is trying to sell me something! I promise - no strings attached to this story. I simply feel grateful joy that I wish to share❤️

Gandalph arrived as a miraculous event in around 2003. A story for another day. If you look at him in perfect light you can see his magic. My kids grew up knowing he had a unicorn horn. He teaches so many lessons. End of 2020 was a hard lesson. 


Two rounds of chemo and the vet visited once more with the news “- a surgical procedure in our surgery is required. We need to remove his eye”. I felt devastated. 

I am the daughter of an amazing vet. An intuitive man who taught me about respect for all life forms. He had just left to be a vet in heavenly realms. He had always been my go to at times like this. I called on him for heavenly guidance…

I found some interesting alternate therapies through a great rebel. Felt like I had nothing to lose. So dived in and began what I figured would be a hit and miss. I took three weeks leave and Gandalph and I came to an understanding on how we could put burny drops in his eye six times a day and squirt two lots of yukky meds into his mouth twice a day. Three weeks later I learned that the road was longer than anticipated and so had to engage support to do the chores of medicating. Domestic assistant, handy man, groom, friends of my sons, my sons, hubby - all had to learn to be patient amd kind with the unicorn.  Grace found a place in all of this and more than a year later this is what we see💥


We are nearly there. I am amazed and grateful. More for the grace I have found in this than anything else. For the faith in my intuition. For the heavenly guidance - Dad is still running this show!  For the trust Gandalph has in our community of healers. For the fact that when you walk into the large paddock with the other horses he rushes to you for his treatment. For the community of people who have been invested in his healing. And for the miracle of healing. 

Having said all this - and I do not belittle the magic of the healing - I am reminded to find the magic in so much that surrounds us. 

Relationship with other than human is miraculous. Here’s to being a part of an ethical truth between us that is built on respect and humility.

On his retirement. A tribute to a legend

Veterinarian & human extraordinaire. 50 years of true service to the animal world, the animal people, and to his animal-loving family.  Four siblings all who care significantly for animals as a result of the way we were raised.  To respect life.  Because that is who our father his.  Our father is more than a vet.  He is a compassionate man.  A vet who took his oath to care for animals to the greatest level, inspiring those close and around him to do the same.  Caring so deeply.  Working so hard.  Ensuring that he always did his best.  He has such depth and wisdom.  He has always had a following of people in his life who he wisely guides.  His generosity is boundless.  He has inspired his children way more than can be imagined.  We are pretty sure there are not many people who are so fortunate to have this example of humble love to follow.  We are equally unsure whether we can truly honour his example by dupli...

2026 is already a kaleidoscope of joy

 

celebrating a 21 year old

21 years ago today I had been working at Sea World in Durban for just four months.  And I was priveleged to witness the birth of a baby dolphin.  I was even more honoured to be taken under the wing of a senior trainer to work with the mother and calf from the time of the birth.  Wow can be the only word to describe this experience.  I was new to all of this, and had this little creature to care for, and get to know.  Suffice is to say he stole my heart, lock stock and soul.  His name is Jula.  I cannot describe the gratitude I feel for being a part of Jula's life.  He is an angel.  A gem, and master, a teacher, a gentle soul who knows so much more than I ever will.   Heartfelt life time gratitude to his mother Frodo and father Gambit, and happy birthday to the heart thief, Jula.  Love you angel!!!
