About the Book

This book is dedicated to Jerry, Order of the Orange. From its conception to completion, his resolute and loving presence inspired me to give those without a voice a voice.

When our family veterinarian announced a decade ago that physical tests had not unraveled the reasons for our cat's deteriorating physical condition, she suggested I call an animal intuitive whose work she respected. Sharon Callahan, she said, had more than a way with animals, she had a direct line to them, an awareness that allowed her to communicate with them emotionally, mentally and spiritually. And unlike other animal communicators, she made her own healing flower essences for animals. I took the number and never regretted it.

Author with Animal Intuitive Sharon Callahan

Through her intuitive abilities, she was able, as Sharon explained, to merge with our feline Jerr-Berr, pick up his thoughts and mental images, and feel his emotions. It was like, she said, being so in tuned with another, you know exactly what he or she is feeling and thinking.

The consultation, along with the prescribed flower essences, not only helped Jerr-Berr, but it also helped me to see my feline friend in a different light, one that reflected back on me. Through him, I learned about myself as well as my relationship with my family.

Jerr-Berr taught me using the language of reflection. That is what the animals in our lives do. As our mirrors, they show us, with their behaviors, emotions and attitudes, an honest picture of ourselves, allowing us to approach life more aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions, as well as our rich spiritual connection to one another.

In 2001 I began researching, interviewing and writing this book. May the animals' stories and messages resonate with you and all beings on Earth. Enjoy.
