\nMy husband and I\u00a0 have made a tradition of getting away and spending this sacred time alone.\u00a0 It gives us something to look forward to after a busy retail season.\u00a0 This year something felt “off” about planning a trip.\u00a0 I felt the need to listen to my intuition.\u00a0 And I am glad I did…..<\/p>\n

Last month we rescued another kitty.\u00a0 Gertrude came to us with some health issues.\u00a0\u00a0 We have had a few challenging weeks here as 3 of 4 kitties have suffered with various ailments. Just last week our tortoiseshell calico (pictured) was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor on her leg.\u00a0 She had it surgically removed, yet within an hour of being home she managed to get both the collar and bandage off.\u00a0\u00a0 A few days later she had ripped her stitches out and the wound was open and bleeding.\u00a0 We made numerous attempts to wrap her boo boo back up and get her collar on and each and every time both ended up off.\u00a0 She is a magician!\u00a0 We knew we had to watch her closely to prevent infection.<\/p>\n

Christmas Eve we isolated her and cleaned her\u00a0 wound and applied some triple antibiotic ointment.\u00a0 Of course she licked that off too. I later added arnica and hypericum to her water. \u00a0 I said “all I want for Christmas is for our kitties and family to be healthy”.\u00a0 At 5:30 am she awoke me with a bleeding inflamed paw and she snuggled alongside me.\u00a0 My heart ached for her.
\nI immediately began to do Reiki and quietly chanted over and over how I needed this bleeding wound to heal.\u00a0 We both fell asleep.
\nBy mid-morning I lied her down and examined her paw, to find it was no longer bleeding, red or inflamed and appeared smaller and to be closing up on it’s own.\u00a0 It seemed a miracle!\u00a0 What a beautiful Christmas present!\u00a0\u00a0 The other girls are getting their probiotics and homeopathic treatments and seem to be getting better daily too.<\/p>\n

Who knows what tomorrow brings\u2026..but for now we will take the peace and calm that Christmas and some Reiki and herbs have gifted us with.\u00a0 Thank goodness I followed my intuition, and did not go away this year.
\nThere was good reason we had to be home and we are just thrilled.<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas Everyone!
\nHope you were all blessed with something you wished for as well!<\/p>\n
