Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I choose to love and respect every living thing.

Every thing, and every one, needs respect and love. While it may, at times, be a difficult "gift" to give ourselves or others, it is essential. Love is as essential as air and water. Without love, just like plants starved for food and water, we wither and will not bloom.

In order to bloom into our fullness, and to help others bloom into theirs, we must provide love and respect... if not for who people are right now, for the potential that is within each and everyone of us. And in the same way, we must love and respect Nature and our abundant Mother Earth.

As we give, so shall we receive. So the more love and respect we can express to the Planet, to plants and animals, to humans, and to ourselves, the more that energy will circulate and return to us ten-fold... and it will keep growing out in the world. Respect and love, and everything those two energies entail, are the cure for what ails humanity and our beautiful planet.

Animal Whispers Empowerment Cards

Animal Whispers Empowerment Cards: Animal Wisdom to Empower and Inspire
by Madeleine Walker

cover of: Animal Whispers Empowerment Cards: Animal Wisdom to Empower and Inspire by Madeleine WalkerThis divination card deck brings empowerment and inspiration in tune with the rhythms of nature and the planet from the animal kingdom. Personally gleaned and intuited by Madeleine Walker as she traveled far and wide to meet and communicate with both wild species and domestic animals, these missives "whisper" the animals' tidings of love and compassion and dispatch their greatest wish - for humanity to find reempowerment so we can finally integrate into interspecies unification.

Daily usage of different animal cards enables access to profound messages that pinpoint current, troublesome life situations and foster renewed self-belief and release of self-doubt. Reproductions of the 45 lavishly illustrated cards and expanded interpretations contained in the companion booklet further enhance the experience.

Publisher: Findhorn Press, an imprint of Inner Traditions Intl.
