By being able to receive downloaded messages from wild and domestic animals, Shawndra translates their messages for us. These animals have shared powerful messages of unity, connection and purpose, and steps that each of us are able to take to deepen the connection, find more meaning in our lives, and become the humans that the animals know we can be. You'll hear messages from 12 different animals on what they want us to know in order to live a more profoundly amazing life. You'll be given the opportunity to learn ways to be more compassionate, tolerant and heart-centered, to the animals and to each other.

EXCERPT:

NORMAN IS THE DOG WHO currently shares my life with me, and as you can see, he is adorable! In 2013, an EF5 tornado hit the vicinity of Moore, Oklahoma, causing two billion dollars of damage, including the major destruction of two schools and more than three hundred homes. It also killed twenty-four people. After the disaster, I volunteered with American Humane to help care for the animal survivors in an emergency shelter. I flew out there and was working with the feral cats and cats with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). A few days after I had arrived, they brought in the last of the “tornado dogs” from the Moore Animal Shelter and put them in a quarantine area. The other volunteers working with the dogs spent all day cleaning crates and walking the dogs. Since I certainly wasn’t taking the cats for walks and feral cats wanted nothing to do with any of us, I had extra time, so I offered to help care for these quarantined dogs.

GUEST POST:

- If I’d never heard of me, would I read my book?

If you want to learn more about your pets, creatures in your backyard, running wild in your community or out in the wild then YES! I F YOU’RE NEW TO ANIMAL communication, you may be wondering if it’s real. It is. It’s also something that any of us can do. It takes training and practice, but it’s most definitely real and possible. I’ll bet most of us have been talking to our pets for years, not really thinking of it as communication. The main difference with what I’m referring to as animal communication is the listening part. We’ve probably all heard the saying about having two ears and one mouth: listen more and talk less! That’s the perfect motto for animal communication. There’s also the saying about the longest journey we’ll travel is the twelve inches from our head to our hearts. Animal communication is about tuning into your heart and listening with your soul. Your brain is still active, of course, but your heart is now leading the way. Animals invite each of us to explore deeper, to expand our beliefs, to consider new paths in our lives. We all have free will, so What They Want Us To Know we get to choose what feels right to us and to our lives in any given moment. These messages from animals are sent without judgment or shame, and I encourage you to accept them with that intent. When you look at the picture of each animal I share with you, do so with an open mind. Let go of any assumptions or guesses prior to reading what they have to say.
