Life is calm and quiet in Prescott working with my animal communication clients. Phoenix is a 2-hour drive from us. We wake up to beautiful days and end with unbelievable sunsets. </p><p><strong>After living in Minneapolis for over 40 years</strong>, we stream the Twin Cities news. Suddenly I’m watching George Floyd die. I’m in shock like many of you. </p><p><strong>I remember driving down the street</strong> where he died as I went for haircuts. I know the stores affected by looting and destruction. I feel my chest tightening as I talk with friends who describe their lives now. </p><p>I catch myself <strong>flashing back</strong> to a summer during high school. As usual, I had summer job with the Federal Government. I stand at a street corner in Washington, DC after the assassination of Martin Luther King. I see boarded up buildings and soot on buildings. I feel the tension in the air as I wait and board the bus. </p><p><strong>Then I remember</strong> I’m in Prescott and I’m safe. My chest is tight and tears flow easily. I exhale and remind myself — <strong>I am safe. I am safe. </strong></p><p>Yes, we are all affected by the past months of isolation from COVID-19. </p><p>Suddenly our eyes are opened again to blatant discrimination. We’re also learning or relearning about subtle discrimination.</p><p><strong>I’m determined</strong> to break out of the Bubble! <strong>I am</strong></p><ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Smiling</strong> at a stranger with my eyes with my mask on.</li><li><strong>Thanking</strong> every person who helps me – store clerks, the person packing my groceries – with “Thank you for working!” Their eye’s light up.</li><li><strong>Helping</strong> a neighbor. I took her newspaper up her steep driveway to her front door. We talked a while when she said, “I’m so lonely” with tears in her eyes. I’ll stop at her house more often.</li><li><strong>Brightening</strong> a friend’s day by calling them on the phone.</li><li><strong>Grateful</strong> for my life and our safe home.</li><li><strong>Upping</strong> my self care with walks, Tai Chi in a park, reading, watching funny shows, etc. Greeting our neighbors and their dogs.</li><li><strong>Believing</strong> 2020 is a year of change and growth. </li></ul><p><strong>It feels good</strong> to make a difference in someone’s life. <strong>I encourage you</strong> to share kindness, joy, and love with others. </p><p><strong>Please share with me</strong> what you’re doing to make someone’s life better by making a comment below.</p><p><strong>This video gave me hope! </strong>Enjoy “You’ll Never Walk Alone” Virtual Choir/Orchestra with 300 people from 15 countries.</p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe title=""You'll Never Walk Alone" Virtual Choir/Orchestra 15 Countries: 300 People" width="860" height="484" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6gpoJNv5dlQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure><p>The post <a href="https://animalbridges.com/breaking-out-of-a-bubble-animal-communicator/">Breaking Out of A Bubble | Thoughts from an animal communicator</a> appeared first on <a href="https://animalbridges.com">Prescott, AZ Animal Communicator | Animal & People Bridges</a>.</p> <div class='yarpp yarpp-related yarpp-related-rss yarpp-template-list'> <!-- YARPP List --> <h3>Related posts:</h3><ol> <li><a href="https://animalbridges.com/do-pets-grieve-animal-communicator-says-yes/" rel="bookmark" title="Do Pets Grieve?
