There are some things that break my heart at such a deep level I can’t breathe. There’s an animal rescue in Florida, The Critter Place, that is having some difficulties. It used to be run by a husband and wife, but the wife died not too many years ago. The husband has been doing his best to care for the animals on his own…with occasional help from volunteers.
His back is not injured and he received some overwhelming news which made it imperative that he find homes for all the animals under his care. He needs to find homes for horses, pigs, dogs, cats, birds and I don’t know what else.
My heart is breaking from his pain and from worry about what’s going to happen with these babies. So many rescues are already over-filled.
Can you imagine what it must feel like? The thought of giving up any of my dogs brings me to my knees. This man is a guardian to so many and has pledged to keep them safe. He must feel like his soul dying.
It times like this where I beat myself up. I beat myself up for buying into the lies about my capabilities for so long. For holding myself back. For not being able to get the hell out of my own way for so long.
Why? Because I allowed all of that to hurt me and my finances. When I look at this, I know that with enough manpower and money something can be done to help this rescue. And the rescue doesn’t have that kind of money and manpower and as much as I want to offer it, I can’t. I waited too long to heal my shit and don’t have the resources to help in a big way.
David said he’s going to start calling me Schlinder….with as many people as Schlinder helped to escape, it was never enough. And he’s right…I can never help enough people or animals.
Why am I writing this? For two reasons.
The first is because maybe, just maybe this will get to the right person who can offer a real solution to this situation. Or maybe it will help get at least one of these babies adopted.
The second reason is because of you. I know way too many of you are still doing what I did. You allowed other’s people’s opinions of who you are to matter more than the truth.
You held yourself back because you didn’t think you were good enough to make the money you wanted to make, do what your soul wanted to do, or be who you were meant to be.
And then you probably swung the pendulum the other way and over gave, received little or nothing in return and continued to over give to make up for everything you thought was wrong with you.
I’m practically begging you right now….scratch that…I am begging you…don’t let this or some form of it go on for another minute longer…because some day there’s going to be a cause or loved one that’s close to your heart and needs your help…and you’re unable to provide it to the extent necessary to make a difference because you were told that you have to be worthy in or you were told that having money is greedy….that rich people hurt people like you and all that other rubbish.
You might be one of those people who says she only wants enough money to get by. I’m asking you now, is that really true?
Because when people like you have boatloads of money, you can help in bigger ways.
I’m working on putting something together right now to help people say Yes to more money and the kind of life they want but I’m not promoting here right now because I want to focus on The Critter Place at the moment.

And please, please, please…do what you need to do to let more abundance into your life. The world needs people like you right now.
PS: I’m in no way affiliated with The Critter Place and they did not ask me to write this blog. This is a heart project.
