Jasmine, Jazzy Jaz Flying Free with the Angels

How do you say goodbye to such a special friend who has traveled with you for some 18 years. Oh the miles that we have shared in and out of the body!
On so many occasions, Jasmine had gone missingUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUI I am leaving these letters here because I got up to feed my horse after the last sentence and came back to these letters no doubt from beyond, I swear !!
Jaz has had me worried sick on many occasions when she would disappear into her Ms Independent, my prerogative to wander thing and had by this time easily used up 9 lives.
Since my pup Happy came to live with us, Jaz has fallen under the spell of “Love on Legs”, Happy, as does everyone who meets my profoundly sweet dog. Somehow Happy’s love and new energy brought Jaz back into the fold of the Moonhaven family and even more shocking, into the house regularly.
Before this time, she might drop in for a meal on occasion and more often, I would have to feed her outdoors.
To my amazement and delight, Jasmine even started sleeping with me every night for the last 3-4 months which she never did since she was a baby, and at 18 she was no baby.
She and Happy would cuddle up together on the bed with and without me and even Star would lay nearby. (read on…)

MOONHAVEN IN MELLOW ROSE HOME SWEET HOME
by FLASH SILVERMOON

Moonhaven is an illuminating and mystical space and I feel that this place is my home to the very core of me. It is a space so familiar yet continually offers surprises when I take the time to wander amidst the citrus groves, listen to the night call of the many Barred owls, or sit beneath the welcoming arms of the ancient Grandmother Tree.

The Grandmother Tree is a 500 + year old Live Oak that was struck and split in two by lightning some 300 years ago. Now she presides over Moonhaven like some all-enveloping Druid Priestess.

What an incredible metaphor for Flash Silvermoon to live beside this Phoenix, this awesome earth sculpture that was struck by lightning and not only didn’t die but thrived winding its moss laden arms around my lavender house!

It would not be at all difficult to imagine or perhaps even see the Faeries playing around and under this Ancient One dancing draped in Spanish Moss with acorn caps.

This majestic tree enchanted my Pagan soul into buying this homestead and becoming her caretaker. I have been honored to be in service of such a profound offering from Mother.Earth.

MANUELO MELLOW FELLOW

If I had to describe Manuelo’s energy, his would be like vanilla or maybe more like honey. So smooth,silky and sweet. Put this little guy in the mix and everyone just blends better. He brought new life and joy to all of us at Moonhaven but especially to me.
I had been having a difficult time after too many recent animal losses and I had pretty well shut my heart down.
Odd to say that because on the day of his arrival, my heart literally hurt from being too open while Priestessing the spirit release of a man in my community who had committed suicide with a coke OD.
Tara was helping me process and release this pain and suggested that it was perhaps a knock on the door to my hear chakra.
Not a moment later a knock came at the French doors that opened into the back office.. I swear the Goddess does indeed play hard ball with me!
One of my neighbors appeared in the doorway holding the most precious little Russian Blue kitten. She had found him in the bathroom at the park at Lake Santa Fe and could not keep him because of her allergies.
I must have really been closed down because at first , I said no, no more kittens for me right now. Tara who usually took the opposite stance in true Gemini style suggested wisely that I just hold him and see how he felt. Maybe he would just blend in with the others.
The witch! She knew exactly what to say and knew that I just needed to hold his soft silky body to my breast and gaze into those emerald eyes and my resistance would be gone. (read on…)

BUT I DON’T KNOW NUTHIN’ ‘BOUT BIRTHIN’ NO BABY!! By Flash Silvermoon

One of the most profound experiences that I have had with an animal occurred several years ago while making a pit stop for some horse feed. This was to be a 5 minute errand on a trip that would bring my friend Julie to a woman who would introduce her to the owner of a tiger rescue downstate where she was seeking employment.
Julie spared no effort in picking the perfect attire for this interview. She was wearing a lovely pale pink shirt with matching slacks and she agonized over not curling her hair as we were running out of time. I assured her that anyone who could work with tigers didn’t need curled hair.

Our detour would take us to the BloomNSpot Appaloosa farm that belonged to my friend Betsy Bloom to pick up the feed that she had gotten for me. Betsy was off on another errand and so her young son Danny helped us get the3 bags of feed. All was going smoothly as could be until I noticed that a horse in the back pasture was lying strangely with her back leg up in the air. I brought this to Danny’s attention and fear flushed across his young face. “Oh no Flash,she’s having her baby, you have got to do something,you’re all she’s got!” he pleaded.

Happy, Light Being in a Fur Coat
by Flash Silvermoon

My little pup Happy is growing into a beautiful dog. Don’t get me wrong, she is still totally a puppy at 11 months old, however, I am starting to see some of her training really “stick”.
Her trainer and major fan, Melanie,has been a wonderful influence teaching her and helping me to train her through positive reinforcement.Melanie used to say that Happy had an evil twin called Snappy that came out on occasion and I was well aware of this side of her. For that reason, I felt that a firm but gentle trainer would be the best thing for both of us as well as for the sanity of the cats who she adores.

Being an astrologer, I could see the wild side of my angel in her chart and those aspects would create more problems if handled with domination. Truly whenever I tried that misguided path with her, it brought out more aggressive traits
Now simply pausing, when possible,to give her a few minutes of good attention when she is just starting to act out changes her back to her wonderful mellow self. Often when I am writing on the computer as I am now for an extended period, she would fuss and nip and now that I am stopping to hug her when she does it she comes gently and waits for her hug. (read on…)

One of my sweetest and quirkiest cats is Tucky. She arrived at Moonhaven by virtue of being dumped in the front yard and wisely crawled in and under a bush. I was waiting for a very late friend that morning as we were going to go to a Rock and Gem show.
My aggravation was building as I waited for her so I decided to raise up my vibration and attitude by watering the plants in the front yard. As I stood there, I could hear the faint mewing from under a bush in the distance. My Bear dog went running in the direction of the sounds. I had feared that one of my cats had been hit on the road but when we got to the source of the mewing, there sat the tiniest little gray tabby kitten. (read on…)

Wide Awake in Paradise 2008 Closes and 2009 Alligns
What a wondrous morning. I just finished a great outdoor shower as I like to do each day unless it is literally freezing. Thankfully today is warm and beautiful. Feeling fresh in my fluffy towel, I brought a bucket of food to my Appaloosa mare Chinamoon who was waiting patiently while “I cleaned up my act,” so to speak.
As she ate, I stroked her and  buried my nose in her soft fur filling my nostrils with her horsey scent. I have loved the scent of horses since I was a little girl and this morning it brought back fond memories and thrilled me to my core. (read on…)

Women and Horses,Magical Soul Mates

by FLASH SILVERMOON
Since I have begun this equine journey with my own horse Chinamoon, as well as my work as an Animal Communicator, helping Julie Montgomery at her Holistic Horse  Ranch, I have met many women and their horses and these are truly magical relationships. 
First, I must share my relationship with Maddy who is a young Appaloosa Mustang rescued from one of the threatened last remaining wild horse herds from Wyoming. (read on…)

WEATHERING THE STORM NAY FAY The Contiuning Saga of the Storm that Wouldn’t Leave
My four legged familiars and I have been sitting on the edge of this Fay storm for days and it has been both challenging, frightening, grounding and heartwarming. So much time to let the inner emotional storms ebb and flow between chores, stabilizing the space, meditating, doing ritual, seeing clients, and basically hunkering down.
As I often do when some big hurricane,fire,drought is afoot, I contacted special spiritual friends to help me protect Moonhaven and generally hold a peaceful safe space for all in the path of the potential disaster. As always, I ask that the storm does the least harm and the most good also using the 3 D’s.Divert,Dissapate, and Dissolve which actually works quite well. (read on…)

HAPPY THE HELLION THE FIRST STORY
The only reason that I can even begin to tell you about my new little love Happy,a Flat-Coat Retriever/Golden Retriever mix is because I so wore her out yesterday and today, that she has slept most of the evening which has allowed me the uninterupted space to begin her story.
I had put my last dog Apple down in February and had been dogless these months waiting for my dog to appear and not really in any big rush. I had hoped that my dog Bear aka Spirit was ready to reincarnate with me again. The message I had gotten from another Shaman was that he was in a more angelic form and was with me in that dimension.
