The Morning Chatter: Icicles

The Morning Chatter: Icicles

Ah the wonders of nature. Every aspect is so unique and special. So often we just take everything around us for granted.

The Morning Chatter is not just about the animals and their communication as the day begins, it is about all life. Connecting with nature helps us learn how to BE. In the simple BEING-NESS if you will, we can connect on deep and profound ways with our animal friends and companions as well as all that is.

I hope you enjoy the melting icicles. They are so beautiful. Water in 2 forms = frozen and liquid. Both H2O but different. Different and the same.

Have fun....

The Morning Chatter: Sun & Moon

The Morning Chatter: Sun & Moon

Connecting with nature on a daily basis is key to improving your connection with animals and all that is. Developing a daily meditation practice allows you to open in a more grounded and deeper way to your animal friends. Meditation does not need to be complicated. Simply walking in nature or just standing or sitting still can be quite profound. Do this every day and notice how you feel.

Most of my life I was a "night owl" in my work and life but now my kitty Rudy gets me up at O-dark-thirty! What a beautiful time of day. The world for the most part is quiet just before sunrise. The air has a different feel to it. Then as the sun begins to rise above the horizon there is a shift. The world seems to come to life from the stillness of the night.

This morning I was doing my usual morning "chores" of filling bird feeders and making sure our wild animal friends has breakfast and clean water. It was a lovely morning with a soft mist in the air that felt so good on my face. I turned to go back inside and saw the moon in the west with light misty clouds passing in front of its face. Rudy, our kitty, was chattering away as he usually does in the morning. The birds began to wake up and sing their morning songs and the sun started to light up the sky as it began to peek above the horizon through the trees.

Turn the audio up and enjoy a moment of quiet meditation as you connect with the moon, clouds, sky, sun, birds, trees and all that is....

The Morning Chatter: Bird Messages

The Morning Chatter: Bird Messages

This edition of The Morning Chatter comes from the bird people. 
Early morning sunrise and sunset is a magical time of day. The animals, especially birds, are active as they wake up, greet the day and go about looking for food. There is so much more going on during this time. 

I invite you to join me in meditation as you listen to the messages and conversations. Can you hear the hawk calling? Oh the squirrels have much to say about that! The crows are always active as they bring the news of the world as well as gossip! The cardinal family often gathers bringing a great sense of community and family. 

Feel your connection to the trees...
The air....
The clouds...
The sun as it both rises and begins to set...

Can you feel a shift inside yourself?

The Morning Chatter: Hawk & Crows

The Morning Chatter: Hawk & Crows

Our kitty Rudy gets me up every morning before the sun comes up. I have never been a morning person until he came into our lives. One thing I love is seeing the sun come up and hearing the birds sing their morning songs. 

This latest edition to the Morning Chatter is a view out my window. I saw a hawk sitting on a fence with a crow not too far away. Are they friends? What are they saying? Or are they just BEING in the moment? You will have to watch the video to find out. 

As the morning progressed a squirrel found a tasty breakfast but when the crow people arrived the squirrel decided to dine at another bird feeder. 

I love the crows. They have so much fun and their communication with each other... well you just never know what they are doing to say. 

I invite you to take a moment and BE with the animals as the day begins. See if you can feel their communications. What is it like to be each of them? Try you communication skills by just BEING with them. 

Feel free to share any experience you might have below. 

Best experience if viewed full screen!

The Morning Chatter: Hummingbird

The Morning Chatter: Hummingbird

A few days ago I was standing just outside my back porch looking up at the sky and treetops when I heard a buzz near my left ear. I felt the air moving slightly around my head. It happened very fast and kind of made me feel as if my head was slightly vibrating. I turned to my left and saw a hummingbird right next to me completely absorbed in a lovely purple blossom on a butterfly bush. I could hardly breathe or move. I had never been that close to such a lovely and magical being before. In that moment I moved my hand as slowly as possible to pull my iPhone out of my right pants pocket attempting to capture the moment in a photo or even better a video. In some ways I hated moving. Each slow and gentle movement slightly distracted me from the experience of being in the energy of this wonderful soul. 

"They" say that hummingbirds and dragonflies can move between realms. I don't know if this is true or not. I will leave that up to you but I do know that they are magical to me. 

I hope you enjoy this short moment with a hummingbird.

The Morning Chatter: Buck, Doe & Rudy

The Morning Chatter: Buck, Doe & Rudy

Our morning routine consists of the simple things of life as we stop and greet the day after coming downstairs. Before breakfast I usually go out and fill the bird feeders and check to see who is visiting or maybe spent the night close by. This morning, as Rudy watched me from the porch, our friendly deer pair came bounding from the wooded area at the back and side of our yard. I have known them since they were spotted fawns. As babies I called them Prince Charming and the Princess. Now Charming is quite the king and man about town and his sister, the Princess, remains near by him most of the time. 

This week he shed his antler velvet and for the first time his antlers are in all their glory. 

I invite you to watch this short video and feel the fun that Rudy and I have most mornings as we are greeted by our deer friends. How do you feel as you connect with them?

The Morning Chatter: Rudy & Chipmunk

The Morning Chatter

Rudy & Chipmunk


There is always something or someone catching Rudy's attention each morning. Always so much activity as the world wakes up and begins a new day. Rudy keeps watch over his kingdom and gets the "morning chatter". The Morning Chatter can be the news of the day. Each of the animals as well as insects and other begins bring news from far and wide as well as the local gossip. You never know who will show up and what they might have to say. 

This morning a chipmunk happily fills his cheeks with sunflower seeds as Rudy watches. 

What news to you receive when you connect with them? So much fun....
